Who was a populist politician and the effective ruler of Athens when Admetus was King of the Molossians?
Admetus of Epirus Admetus (Greek: Αδμητος ) (before 470-430 BC) was a Greek king of the Molossians at the time that Themistocles (524–459 BC) was the effective ruler of Athens. When Themistocles was in control of Athens, Admetus had opposed him, but without any rancour.
Pagondas Pagondas (Greek: Παγώνδας ; son of Aeolidas, was a Theban general and statesman, who is best known for his command of the Boeotian forces at the Battle of Delium during the Peloponnesian War. His modification of the standard hoplite formation and his use of reserve cavalry in that battle constitute what most historians agree is the first recorded use of formal military tactics in human history.
