Myronides was an Athenian general in 458 BCE, when he defeated the Corinthians at Megara, and again in 457 BCE, when he defeated the Boeotians at the Battle of Oenophyta. It has been debated, but it is unlikely he was the same Myronides who was sent to Sparta with Cimon and Xanthippus and who served as general at the Battle of Plataea.
