The Battle of Cnidus was most likely when the Athenian general Iphicrates first distinguished himself (J K Davies, Athenian Propertied Families, Oxford, 1971, pp 249-250)... Plutarch, Moralia, 187.1 says "The first occasion on which he won repute was when, wounded himself, he picked up one of the enemy alive, armour and all, and bore him to his own trireme." Iphicrates was said to have been only 20 years old and an Athenian general at the time (probably he was a trierarch in this battle). After helping to destroy Spartan sea power in this battle, Iphicrates was (four years later) to be the first to defeat the Spartans in open battle on land. Perhaps this paragraph could be added?
