Arkermos of Rodos (473-431 BC) was a Rhodian admiral during the 5th century BC. During the Peloponnesian War, he commanded the "Odysseus' Wanderers" fleet, and he launched a naval assault on the unprotected Spartan-held town of Oreos on Euboea. However, his superior army was surprisingly routed by the smaller Spartan garrison, and he was slain in battle.
