Demaenetus (original) (raw)

Demaenetus (Greek: Δημαίνετος) was an Athenian commander during the Corinthian War. In 389 BC, he was one of the commanders in an engagement close to Aegina that resulted in a Spartan defeat and the death of the Spartan commander Gorgopas. One Athenian unit under Chabrias prepared an ambush while another under Demaenetus drew Gorgopas out of Aegina and into the trap by openly marching through the area.
