Notes
- That of an Athenian general, c.420-357/6 BCE.
"His greatest achievements were the defence of Boeotia in 378, during which he invented a useful method of defence against hoplites, the decisive naval victory over Sparta near Naxos in 376, and the extension of the Second Athenian Confederacy" (G.L. Cawkwell in OCD(4) s.v. Chabrias).
