Philocrates (English spelling)

Japanese: フィロクラテス(英語表記)Philokratēs
Philocrates (English spelling)
Athenian statesman of ancient Greece. After the fall of Olynthus (348 BC), he headed a peace embassy to Philip II of Macedonia, which concluded a peace treaty and alliance with Macedonia in 346 BC. He then headed a second embassy to obtain Philip's signature, and returned to propose the implementation of the alliance despite opposition from Demosthenes. He then sent two more envoys to Philip. In 343 BC, however, he was accused of corruption in the peace negotiations, fled, and was subsequently captured and executed.
