Callicratidas Callicratidas ( ) was a Spartan naval commander in the Peloponnesian War . In 406 BC , he was sent to the Aegean to take command of the Spartan fleet from Lysander , the first navarch . Callicratidas ' s tenure as navarch was short , and he encountered a number of difficulties . Chief among these were the intrigues of his predecessor , who had apparently returned the money from which the fleet was supposed to be paid for to its source , the Persia n prince Cyrus . Callicratidas needed money from Cyrus to pay his men , but , as a traditionalist Spartan , he was loath to request it from a Persian . His halfhearted attempts to secure funding from Cyrus fell through , and he was forced to find an alternative source of funds , which the city of Miletus eventually provided . After winning an initial victory against the Athenian admiral Conon , Callicratidas came up against a sizable Athenian force sent out to relieve Conon . He met this force at the battle of Arginusae in 406 BC . His force was soundly defeated , and Callicratidas himself was killed . After his death , Lysander returned from Sparta to again take up the post of navarch . Callicratidas is remembered as a Spartan of the old school . He disdained the policy of alliance with Persia that had come into favor under Lysander , and he stated that if the choice were his , he would seek peace with Athens . The increasing role of money in Spartan politics and diplomacy offended his traditionalist , antimaterialist sensibilities . Although unsuccessful in his command , he won the respect of many Spartans and allies , and was well regarded after his death .
