Eryximachus
Eryximachus, son of Acumenus (; Greek: Ἑρυξίμαχος Ἀκουμἐνου ''Eruxímachos Akouménou''; c. 448 – late 5th century or early 4th century BCE) was an ancient Athenian physician who is best remembered for his prominent role in Plato's ''Symposium''. It is likely that he was indicted in the mutilation of the Herms, a domestic Athenian conflict during the Peloponnesian War.〔Debra Nails, ''The People of Plato'', Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing, 2002; pp. 134–135〕
==Life==
The son of the physician Acumenus, Eryximachus was born in the mid-5th century BCE. Set in approximately 433/2, Plato's ''Protagoras'' dialogue depicts his close friendship with Socrates' student Phaedrus, a friendship that continued into the dramatic time of the ''Phaedrus'' dialogue some 15 years later. His wealth and social status are unclear from the extant sources.〔
An Eryximachus is mentioned in Andocides' ''On the Mysteries'' speech as among those indicted in the mutilation of the Hermes and profanation of the Eleusinian mysteries, two tumultuous events on the eve of the ill-fated Sicilian Expedition in 415.〔Andocides, ''On the Mysteries'', 1.35〕 While there is no clear confirmation that this Eryximachus is the physician, there are numerous pieces of circumstantial evidence, including Phaedrus' role and Eryximachus' appearance in Plato's ''Symposium'' alongside others involved in these incidents.〔 It is unclear whether or not he was among those executed because of the event, but the historical record lacks later references to him.〔
