Androkles was an Athenian politician and opponent of Alcibiades, actively seeking his recall from the Sicilian campaign during the Peloponnesian War. Aside from this, however, his role in history seems generally minor.

Androkles in "The Daimon"[]

Androkles was an Athenian statesman and opponent of Alkibiades. He arranged for Alkibiades to be charged with heresy. However, after Alkibiades defeated Syracuse and Sparta, he had substantial support from his military for the conquest of Athens. Alkibiades personally captured Androkles and his co-conspirator, Thettalos. They surrendered rather than fight, and Alkibiades spared them.[1]
