[Referring to] Lamachos, a reckless general of the Athenians.[1] When the Athenians sailed to Sicily they elected him general together with Alkibiades[2] and Nikias.[3]. He was fond of warfare. Aristophanes [writes]: "I have made treaties for myself and escaped from business and battles and Lamachoses. For it is sweeter by far."

Λαμάχων: Λάμαχος, Ἀθηναίων στρατηγὸς ῥιψοκίνδυνος: ὅν, ὅτε εἰς Σικελίαν ἔπλεον οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι, ἐχειροτόνησαν μετὰ Ἀλκιβιάδου καὶ Νικίου. ἦν δὲ καὶ φιλοπόλεμος. Ἀριστοφάνης: σπονδὰς ποιησάμενος ἐμαυτῷ πραγμάτων τε καὶ μαχῶν καὶ Λαμάχων ἀπαλλαγείς. πολλῷ γὰρ ἔσθ' ἥδιον.
