Alcibiades, son of Cleinias, from the deme of Scambonidae (/ˌælsᵻˈbaɪ.ədiːz/;Greek: Ἀλκιβιάδης Κλεινίου Σκαμβωνίδης, transliterated Alkibiádēs Kleiníou Skambōnidēs; c. 450 – 404 BC), was a prominent Athenian statesman, orator, and general. He was the last famous member of his mother's aristocratic family, the Alcmaeonidae, which fell from prominence after the Peloponnesian War. He played a major role in the second half of that conflict as a strategic advisor, military commander, and politician.
During the course of the Peloponnesian War, Alcibiades changed his political allegiance several times. In his native Athens in the early 410s BC, he advocated an aggressive foreign policy and was a prominent proponent of the Sicilian Expedition, but he fled to Sparta after his political enemies brought charges of sacrilege against him. In Sparta, he served as a strategic adviser, proposing or supervising several major campaigns against Athens. In Sparta too, however, Alcibiades soon made powerful enemies and felt forced to defect to Persia. There he served as an adviser to the satrap Tissaphernes until his Athenian political allies brought about his recall. He then served as an Athenian general (Strategos) for several years, but his enemies eventually succeeded in exiling him a second time.

Dr. Norman Sandridge discusses the relationship between leadership and psychopathy, focusing on the figure of the ancient Athenian Alcibiades.
"Alcibiades, the golden boy of late fifth-century Athenian society, is approached, with devious diffidence, by the philosopher Socrates, who professes to be an admirer of his, and questioned, with ever-increasing acuteness, as to his competence to be a leader of men, such as he aspires to be. Socrates brings him to the realization that first he must come to know his own true nature, which is that of a soul temporarily ensconced in a body, over which it should preside (rather than be dominated by)." - Paideia Platonikê: 'Does the Later Platonist Programme of Education Retain any Validity Today?', John Dillon - Trinity College Dublin - October 2013 Alcibiades Plato - Complete Works (Hackett 1997) Translated by D.
