There were ten generals (strategos) - one from each tribe commanding their tribal contingent. The nominal war leader was the Polemarch Callimachus. The story is that, as they waited for an opportunity to attack, each of the ten took it in turns day about to be commander. On the tenth day when the battle was actually joined, it was the turn of Miltiades.
