Years: 356BCE - 356BCE
Chares, in command of the Athenian forces, is joined in 356 BCE in the waters off Byzantium by veteran generals Iphicrates and Timotheus with reinforcements.
The Athenians subsequently lose a battle at Embata, after which Chares, having blamed the defeat on his colleagues, is left sole commander.
After receiving no supplies from Athens, however, he joins the insurgent Persian satrap Artabazus.
