History of the Peloponnesian War
A Macedonian figure allied with Athens and Philip against Perdiccas.
He became such, because the Athenians had made an alliance with his brother Philip and Derdas, when acting together against him.
and having established themselves there, carried on the war in conjunction with Philip and the brothers of Derdas, who had invaded the country with an army from the interior.
Hellenica
Ruler of Elimia and commander of a notable cavalry force allied against Olynthus.
Now as the cavalry fled, the infantry next them also gave way, and the whole army, indeed, would have been in danger of being defeated had not Derdas with his troop dashed straight for the gates of the Olynthians.
Furthermore, volunteers from the allied states joined the expedition and horsemen of the Thessalians, who wished to become known to Agesipolis, while Amyntas and Derdas took part with even greater eagerness than before.
Furthermore, he sent to Derdas, the ruler of Elimia, pointing out to him that the Olynthians had already subdued the greater power, Macedonia, and would not let the lesser escape unless someone put a stop to their presumption.
