Soon afterwards he See also:fell into the hands of the Athenians and accepted the offer of See also:Timotheus to re-enter their service
.
Having been dismissed by Timotheus (362) he joined the revolted satraps See also:Memnon and See also:Mentor in See also:Asia, but soon lost their confidence, and was obliged to seek the See also:protection of the Athenians
.
Finding, however, that he had nothing to fear from the Persians, he again joined Cotys, on whose See also:murder he was appointed See also:guardian to his youthful son Cersobleptes
.
In 3J7, on the arrival of See also:Chares with considerable forces, the See also:Chersonese was restored to Athens

He achieved little success, but made him-self detested by his insolence and profligacy, and was in turn replaced by Chares
.
After See also:Chaeroneia the war party would have entrusted Charidemus 1 with the command against Philip, but the See also:peace party secured the See also:appointment of See also:Phocion
.
He was one of those whose surrender was demanded by See also:Alexander after the destruction of See also:Thebes, but escaped with banishment
