Person
Sadocus
Sadocus was a son of the Odrysian king Sitalces. When Athens made his father an ally at the start of the Peloponnesian War in 431 BCE, it granted Sadocus Athenian citizenship. In 430 BCE, according to Thucydides, he helped the Athenians seize Peloponnesian envoys travelling through Thrace to the Persian king, and handed them over to Athens, where they were executed.
