Adeimantus of Corinth

Adeimantus of Corinth (/ˈædiːˌmæntəs/; Greek: Ἀδείμαντος), son of Ocytus, was the Corinthian commander during the invasion of Greece by Xerxes. Before the Battle of Artemisium (480 BC) he threatened to sail away. He opposed Themistocles with great insolence in the council which the commanders held before the Battle of Salamis (also 480 BC). Herodotus quotes the following dialogue:

According to the Athenians he took to flight at the very commencement of the battle, but this was denied by the Corinthians and the other Greeks.

Adeimantus' son Aristeus was the Corinthian commander at the Battle of Potidaea in 432 BC.
