Dienekes (died 480 BCE) was a Spartan officer who fought alongside King Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae against the Achaemenid Empire.
Biography
In 480 BCE, Dienekes was present outside the Temple of Apollo in Delphi when Leonidas met with the Cult of Kosmos accompanied by the Pythia. After Leonidas rejected the Cult's warnings in going to war with the King Xerxes I of Persia, whom the Cult supported, he instructed Dienekes to ready the Spartans for war.[1]
Dienekes and the Spartans were stationed at a narrow passage in Malis blocking the road to mainland Greece. While Leonidas was observing the Persian fleet arriving from the cliff, Dienekes approached Leonidas, who was reminisced about how he would have liked to have gone fishing with his son. Dienekes later joined Leonidas and the rest of the Spartans in defending Malis against the Achaemenid Empire,[2] but ultimately perished in battle, having been stabbed in the neck.[3]
