Iphicrates was an Athenian general known for his use of light-armed peltasts, with which he destroyed a Spartan regiment near Corinth around 390 BCE. He also served abroad as a mercenary commander, leading the Greek troops in the Persian satrap Pharnabazus's failed invasion of Egypt in 373 BCE, and married a daughter of Cotys I, king of the Odrysian Kingdom of Thrace.
