Plutarch has an entire chapter about him. He's generally known as being Themistocles' political rival, and for being ostracised then called back before the wars. He played a part in the Delian league, mainly organising the amounts of taxes from each member state.

Its the same dude. Just read Plutarch's chapter on him, and also his comparison.
