king of See also:Thrace, against Athens. Soon afterwards he See also:fell into the hands of the Athenians and accepted the offer of See also:Timotheus to re-enter their service. Having been dismissed by Timotheus (362) he joined the revolted satraps See also:Memnon and See also:Mentor in See also:Asia, but soon lost their confidence, and was obliged to seek the See also:protection of the Athenians. Finding, however, that he had nothing to fear from the Persians, he again joined Cotys, on whose See also:murder he was appointed See also:guardian to his youthful son Cersobleptes. In 3J7, on the arrival of See also:Chares with considerable forces, the See also:Chersonese was restored to Athens. The supporters of Charidemus represented this as due to his efforts, and, in spite of the opposition of See also:Demosthenes, he was honoured with a See also:golden See also:crown and the See also:franchise of the See also:city. It was further resolved that his See also:person should be inviolable. In 351 he commanded the Athenian forces in the Chersonese against See also:- PHILIP

- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip II. of Macedon, and in 349 he superseded Chares as See also:commander in the Olynthian See also:War. He achieved little success, but made him-self detested by his insolence and profligacy, and was in turn replaced by Chares. After See also:Chaeroneia the war party would have entrusted Charidemus 1 with the command against Philip, but the See also:peace party secured the See also:appointment of See also:Phocion. He was one of those whose surrender was demanded by See also:Alexander after the destruction of See also:Thebes, but escaped with banishment. He fled to See also:Darius III., who received him with distinction. But, having expressed his dissatisfaction with the preparations made by the king just before the See also:battle of Issus (333), he was put to See also:death.
