king of See also:Cyprus, against the Persians. In 378, when See also:Athens entered into an See also:alliance with, See also:Thebes against See also:Sparta, he defeated Agesilaus near Thebes.

In 376 he gained a decisive victory over the Spartan fleet off See also:Naxos, but, when he might have destroyed the Spartan fleet, remembering the See also:fate of the generals at Arginusae, he delayed to pick up the bodies of his dead. Later, when the Athenians changed sides and joined the Spartans, he repulsed See also:Epaminondas before the walls of See also:Corinth. In 366, together with See also:Callistratus, he was accused of treachery in advising the surrender of See also:Oropus to the Thebans.

But on the outbreak of the Social See also:War (357) he joined See also:Chares in the command of the Athenian fleet. He lost his See also:life in an attack on the See also:island of See also:Chios.
