Lycomedes of Mantinea
Lycomedes of Mantinea was the leading statesman of the Arcadian League, formed in 370 BCE after Sparta's defeat at Leuctra. With Theban support he organised the federation and the foundation of its new capital, Megalopolis. He later sought to free the Arcadians from Theban leadership and negotiated an alliance with Athens in 366 BCE, but was murdered on his way home.
