Who is Diodotus?
Diodotus, son of Eucrates was an opponent to the proposal of Cleon - leader of the radical, imperialist faction in Athens - in 427 BC to kill all adult Mytilenean males and to enslave their women and children after the defeat of Mytilene. He seems to represent the moderate faction in Athens.
Diodotus' proposal won in the assembly, so that in the end only Cleon's next proposal was carried out: to punish by death those Mytileneans who were sent by Paches to Athens
