CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Samian, son of ARCHESTRATIDES. Athenagoras and two others (Hegesistratus and Lampon) were chosen by the Samians to approach the Greek fleet at DELOS in the summer of 479 BCE and ask them to sail east and liberate the Ionian coast and ISLANDS from Persian rule (9.90.1). Given that the envoys were sent without the knowledge of the Persians or the Samian tyrant THEOMESTOR, it seems likely that Athenagoras and the others were leading men among the ARISTOCRACY at SAMOS.
