Stratocles

Stratocles son of Euthydemos of Diomeia (Greek: Στρατοκλῆς Εὐθυδήμου Διομεεὺς),[1] was an Athenian politician during the third and fourth centuries BCE. He was a member of a family from the deme of Diomeia.[2]

At some time, he compiled the existing information on knowledge of tactics made in the age of Homer.[3] In 293 B.C., the Macedonian king Demetrius I established a coalition government under oligarchic forms of which Stratocles, aristocratic archon Philippides of Paiania and military leader Olympiordoros took part.[4] Stratocles moved a decree in honour of Philippides of Paiania in 294/3.[5][6]
