Biography
In 403 BCE, Asterios was responsible for overseeing the fort's western section while Kallias took care of the east. On the night of the Battle of Munychia, he had a conversation with subordinates about the Athenian military general Thrasybulus's taking of Phyle, disbelieving a report saying the army was 10,000 men strong and arguing that the claim's originator was a coward who had exaggerated an army a tenth that size. Shortly after, the misthios Kassandra killed both him and Kallias as part of her contract with the Athenian soldier Nikomedes, allowing Thrasybulus' forces to take the fort.[1]
