Hermocrates
3. A Rhodian, who, according to Plutarch, was sent by Artaxerxes Mnemon to Greece, during the expedition of Agesilaus in Asia, to gain over the other states of Greece by large bribes, and thus compel the Spartans to recal Agesilaus. (Plut. Art. 20.) There call be little doubt that the same person is meant who is called by Xenophon (Xenoph. Hell. 3.5.1) Timocrates, and who was sent, it appears, not by the king himself, but by the satrap Tithraustes.
