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

His biography is available in 20 different languages on Wikipedia (up from 19 in 2024). Pheidon is the 5,820th most popular politician (up from 13,075th in 2024), the 328th most popular biography from Greece (up from 659th in 2019) and the 140th most popular Greek Politician.
