Spartan general. He brought the Peloponnesian
War to a successful conclusion by capturing
the Athenian fleet at Aegospotami 405 bc, and
by starving Athens into surrender in the
following year. He then aspired to make
Sparta supreme in Greece and himself supreme
in Sparta; he set up puppet governments in
Athens and her former allies, and tried to
secure for himself the Spartan kingship, but
he was killed in battle with the Thebans.
