The Spartan navarch Lysander refused to be lured out of Ephesus to do battle with Alcibiades.
However, Spartan law did not allow the reappointment of a previous navarch, so Aracus was appointed as navarch with Lysander as his deputy.
Lysander returns to command The multitude saluted him with loud acclamations After this defeat, Sparta's allies sought to have Lysander reappointed as navarch.
