Antalcidas, a Spartan, who, at the end of the Corinthian war, was sent on an embassy to Tinbazus, governor of Sardis, to negotiate a peace with Persia. He succeeded, and the peace, concluded in 387 B. C, with the concurrence of several Grecian states, was called after his name. It excited universal indignation throughout Greece, for Sparta had sacrificed to the Persian monarch the general interests of Greece in order to gratify her jealousy of the Athenians and Thebans. On being sent again to obtain the promised subsidies from the Persian king, he was tricked by the orientals, and fearing the popular indignation at home, he starved himself to death.
