Lacedaimonius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lacedaimonius was an Athenian general, the son of Cimon. Like his father and grandfahter (the famous Miltiades) Lacedaimonius was a general and served Athens. His name comes from Lacedaimon, another name for the City-State of Sparta. Cimon so admired the Spartans he showed them a sign of goodwill by naming his son after their city.
