{{Short description|Spartan admiral during the Corinthian War}}

Ecdicus ({{langx|grc|Ἔκδικος}}), Diodorus Siculus called him Eudocimus (Εὐδόκιμος),[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0084:book=14:chapter=97&highlight=ecdicus Diodorus Siculus, Library, 14.97] was a Lacedaemonian general. During the Corinthian War, he was sent with eight ships to Rhodes in order to assist oligarchs exiled from the island against the democratic party at 391 BC.[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0104%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DE%3Aentry+group%3D1%3Aentry%3Decdicus-bio-1 A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology, Ecdicus]

When he arrived at Cnidus, he found out that his enemies had much more forces than him and so he waited. The Spartans then dispatched a bigger fleet to assist him under the command of Teleutias.[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0205%3Abook%3D4%3Achapter%3D8 Xenophon, Hellenica] 4.8.23–24
