Everything about Callimachus Polemarch totally explained
Callimachus was
polemarch in
Athens in
490 BC, and was one of the commanders at the
Battle of Marathon.
As polemarch, Callimachus had a vote in military affairs along with the 10
strategoi, the generals, such as
Miltiades. Miltiades convinced Callimachus to vote in favour of a battle when the
strategoi were split evenly on the matter.
At Marathon, Callimachus commanded the right wing of the Athenian army. The right and left wings (the left wing commanded by the
Plataeans) surrounded the Persians after a seemingly suicidal charge by the centre line. Although the
Greeks were victorious, Callimachus was killed during the fighting.
