Dercylidas (Greek: Δερκυλίδας) was a Spartan commander during the late 5th and early 4th century BCE.
After this he concluded a armistice of eight months with Pharnabazus, the Satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia, and fought a campaign against the Thracians of Bithynia.
After receiving many gifts from the local Greeks, he transported his army back to Asia.
[3] Pharnabazus and Tissaphernes, the Satrap of Ionia and Lydia recruited a large army of 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry from their Satrapies and marched on Ephesus, Sparta's base of operations in Asia-Minor.
In 394 BCE Dercylidas was succeeded by King Agesilaus as supreme commander of the Spartan forces in Asia-Minor.
