Autocles, son of Tolmaeus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Autocles (Greek: Aὐτοκλῆς; lived 5th century BC), a son of Tolmaeus, was an ancient Athenian general.

He was one of the Athenian commanders in the successful expedition against Cythera in 424 BC.[1] Together with his two colleagues, Nicias and Nicostratus, he ratified, on the part of Athens, the truce which in 423 BC was concluded for one year with Sparta.[2]
