Aristodemus of Miletus (Greek: Ἀριστόδημος; lived 4th century BC) was one of the oldest and most trusted friends of Antigonus Monophthalmus. He is described by Plutarch as an arch-flatterer of Antigonus.[1] Antigonus frequently used him on important diplomatic missions and occasionally entrusted him with military commands as well.
