"Might win? We're Spartans! We always win! Mark my words, this time tomorrow, those Athenian rebels will be nothing but food for the crows."
―Asterios boasting about the Spartan military, 403 BCE.[src]-[m]

Asterios (died 403 BCE) was a Spartan army commander who held joint authority with Kallias over Munychia Fort in Piraeus, Greece.

Biography[]

In 403 BCE, Asterios was responsible for overseeing the fort's western section while Kallias took care of the east. On the night of the Battle of Munychia, he had a conversation with subordinates about the Athenian military general Thrasybulus's taking of Phyle, disbelieving a report saying the army was 10,000 men strong and arguing that the claim's originator was a coward who had exaggerated an army a tenth that size. Shortly after, the misthios Kassandra killed both him and Kallias as part of her contract with the Athenian soldier Nikomedes, allowing Thrasybulus' forces to take the fort.[1]
