A Spartan soldier Aeimnestus killed the Persian general Mardonius by crushing Mardonius' head with a rock during the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC. The event was described in Book 9 of the Histories of Herodotus.[1] Plutarch calls the same man "Arimnestus" (Шаблон:Lang).[2]

Another Spartan by the same name led three hundred men against the whole Messenian army in the Messenian Wars; both he and his company were killed to the last man.[3]

A Plataean general Arimnestos led his city's host in the battles of Marathon and Plataea.
