Leo'crates
(
Λεωκράτης), son of Stroebus, commanded in the great sea-fight off Aegina (B. C. 457), in which the Athenians gave a final defeat to their ancient rivals. Seventy ships were taken, and Leocrates landed and laid siege to the town ; while the Corinthian forces, which, by invading Attica, hoped to relieve it, were defeated by Myronides. (
Thuc. 1.105.) Plutarch relates that these two commanders were both of them colleagues of Aristeides in the campaign of Plataea (
Plut. Arist. 20).
