CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Prominent citizen of the ISLAND of THASOS in the northern AEGEAN. Antipater was chosen to organize the feeding of XERXES’ invasion force as it marched through Thasian territory on the mainland (the Thasian peraia) in 480 BCE; the total expense was 400 TALENTS of SILVER (7.118). The name “Antipater” was extremely common in ancient Greece; Antipater’s father, ORGEUS, is attested in a contemporary inscription.
