The Adrestia was a trireme captained by the Greek Barnabas in service to the Spartan misthios Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War.
For a time, it was under the command of the Cyclops of Kephallonia, who had hired Barnabas' crew before the former's death at the hands of Kassandra.[1]

Etymology
- In Greek mythology, Adrestia was the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, and she was venerated as a goddess of revolt, retribution, and balance between good and evil.
- The name befits a fast ship: in ancient Greek Ἀδρήστεια means 'inescapable' or 'she who cannot be escaped'. It was also an epithet of the goddess of retribution, Nemesis.
