Abronychus
Abronychus (Greek Αβρώνυχος) was the son of Lysicles, an Athenian, and was stationed at Thermopylae with a vessel to communicate between Leonidas and the fleet at Artemisium.[1] He was subsequently sent as ambassador to Sparta with Themistocles and Aristeides respecting the fortifications of Athens after the Persian War.[2][3]
