Within the vast bibliography on the second Athenian expedition in Sicily, the inattention of modern scholars towards Lamachus, the commander chosen with Alcibiades and Nicias at the helm of the fleet that in June of 415 BC sailed to the island, is undeniable. This reflects the low interest of ancient sources due to the lack of his credibility and political importance, despite the fact that during the Rhegium summit Lamachus presented a proposal that would have deserved more attention: attack without delay Syracuse. His death, following the imprudent attempt to rescue a struggling Athenian contingent, marks the beginning of the difficulties that caused the final disaster along the Asinarus River.
