Biography[edit | edit source]
Demosthenes was not content with how his leaders in the Athenian army waged the war. Preferring a different approach, he devised his own strategy and tasked the misthios Kassandra several times with assassinating Spartan generals and collecting their seals in order to weaken their army.[1] His Spartan counterpart, Lysander, did the same in turn.[2]
Personality and traits[edit | edit source]
Unlike his Spartan counterpart, Lysander, Demosthenes was more humble, motivated less by his own gain and more by winning the war in the most efficient way possible. Where Lysander wanted to prove himself and rise in the ranks, Demosthenes simply desired to serve Athens in the best way he knew, even if that meant going behind the backs of his superiors.
