Nicknamed "the Just" (δίκαιος, díkaios), he flourished at the beginning of Athens' Classical period and is remembered for his generalship in the Persian War.

Aristides (Ἀριστείδης) was a male politician and military personnel from Classical Athens. Born in 540 BCE in the deme of Alopeke, he served as an eponymous archon and held the rank of strategos. He was a member of the Antiochis and spoke Ancient Greek. Aristides died in Athens, with records indicating dates of 468 BCE or 467 BCE.

He participated in several conflicts during the Greco-Persian Wars, including the Battle of Marathon, the Battle of Salamis, and the Battle of Plataea. His life and works are described in sources such as the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition, Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, Parallel Lives, and Pauly–Wissowa.
