Ecdicus (Lacedaemonian)

Ecdicus (Ancient Greek: Ἔκδικος), Diodorus Siculus called him Eudocimus (Εὐδόκιμος),[1] was a Lacedaemonian general. During the Corinthian War, he was sent with eight ships to Rhodes in order to assist oligarchs exiled from the island against the democratic party at 391 BC.[2]

When he arrived at Cnidus, he found out that his enemies had much more forces than him and so he waited. The Spartans then dispatched a bigger fleet to assist him under the command of Teleutias.[3]
