According to the Suda, when Adeimantus called Themistocles a city-less man before the Battle of Salamis (because the Persians had destroyed Athens), Themistocles responded: "Who is city-less, when he has 200 triremes?"^[2]

According to the Athenians he took to flight at the very commencement of the battle, but this was denied by the Corinthians and the other Greeks.^[3][4]

Adeimantus' son Aristeus was the Corinthian commander at the Battle of Potidaea in 432 BC.^[5]
