<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Callimachus''' was [[polemarch]] in [[Athens]] in [[490 BC]], and was one of the commanders at the [[Battle of Marathon]].<br />
<br />
As polemarch, Callimachus had a vote in military affairs along with the 10 ''[[strategos|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. <br />
<br />
At Marathon, Callimachus commanded the right wing of the Athenian army. The right and left wings (the left wing commanded by the [[Plataea]]ns) surrounded the Persians after a seemingly suicidal charge by the centre line. Although the [[Greeks]] were victorious, Callimachus was killed during the fighting.<br />
