Stratocles

Stratocles son of Euthydemos of Diomeia (Greek: Στρατοκλῆς Εὐθυδήμου Διομεεὺς),^[1] was an Athenian politician during the third and fourth centuries BCE. He was a member of a family from the deme of Diomeia.^[2]

He is credited with being one of the most prolific proposers of surviving inscribed (epigraphical) decrees in Athenian history (around 26 surviving decrees).^[3]

At some time, he compiled the existing information on knowledge of tactics made in the age of Homer.^[4] In 293 BC, the Macedonian king Demetrius I established a coalition government under oligarchic forms of which Stratocles, aristocratic archon Philippides of Paiania and military leader Olympiodoros took part.^[5] Stratocles moved a decree in honour of Philippides of Paiania in 294/3 BC.^[6][7]
