Icon of person Pheidon

Pheidon (Ancient Greek: Φείδων) was an Argive ruler, usually dated to the first half of the 7th century BCE (perhaps reigning c. 680 – c. 660). While his dating is a matter of dispute and much of the information about him is fragmentary, he is almost always described as a powerful and expansionist ruler. He consolidated Argive control over the surrounding region of the Argolid. If the 7th-century dating is correct, then he defeated Sparta at the Battle of Hysiae in 669/8. Read more on Wikipedia
