Xenophon (‹See Tfd›Greek: Ξενοφῶν), son of Euripides, was one of the Athenian generals to whom Potidaea surrendered.[1] Later, in the same year (429 BC) Xenophon and two other generals led an expedition against the Chalcideans and Bottiaeans at the Battle of Spartolos, but were compelled to retreat into Potidaea[2]
