", This was all that was revealed in the writing, and Xerxes was
pleased with the letter. His idea was by their size and
thickness to keep off the attacks of an enemy; he thought that they
might be adequately defended by a small garrison of invalids, and the
rest be freed for service in the fleet. The same day had seen Epidamnus compelled by its besiegers to
capitulate; the conditions being that the foreigners should be sold,
and the Corinthians kept as prisoners of war, till their fate should
be otherwise decided. Megara prepared to accompany
them with eight ships, Pale in Cephallonia with four; Epidaurus
furnished five, Hermione one, Troezen two, Leucas ten, and Ambracia
eight. We must not fall
behind them, but must resist our enemies in any way and in every way,
and attempt to hand down our power to our posterity unimpaired.". Manifold and
grave accusations had been brought against him by Hellenes arriving
in Sparta; and, to all appearance, there had been in him more of the
mimicry of a despot than of the attitude of a general. Last of all the
Corinthians came forward, and having let those who preceded them
inflame the Lacedaemonians, now followed with a speech to this
effect: 68 "Lacedaemonians! It would be
difficult for any system of fortifications to establish a rival city,
even in time of peace, much more, surely, in an enemy's country, with
Athens just as much fortified against it as it against Athens; while
a mere post might be able to do some harm to the country by
incursions and by the facilities which it would afford for desertion,
but can never prevent our sailing into their country and raising
fortifications there, and making reprisals with our powerful fleet. For the aggressors
with matured plans to oppose to our indecision have cast threats
aside and betaken themselves to action. It was not till Hellen and his sons grew strong in
Phthiotis, and were invited as allies into the other cities, that one
by one they gradually acquired from the connection the name of
Hellenes; though a long time elapsed before that name could fasten
itself upon all. 14 These were the most
powerful navies. An able theoretical expositor
of all that came within the sphere of his practice, he was not
without the power of passing an adequate judgment in matters in which
he had no experience. No, we told them to their face that
every power has a right to punish its own allies. Is it in our money? This was what really enabled the Trojans to keep the field for ten
years against them; the dispersion of the enemy making them always a
match for the detachment left behind. For sometimes the course of things is as arbitrary as the
plans of man; indeed this is why we usually blame chance for whatever
does not happen as we expected. But Archidamus, the Lacedaemonian
king, came forward, who had the reputation of being at once a wise
and a moderate man, and made the following speech: "I have not lived so long, Lacedaemonians, without having had the
experience of many wars, and I see those among you of the same age as
myself, who will not fall into the common misfortune of longing for
war from inexperience or from a belief in its advantage and its
safety. But as soon as Minos
had formed his navy, communication by sea became easier, as he
colonized most of the islands, and thus expelled the malefactors. There also the river Thyamis
flows, forming the boundary between Thesprotis and Kestrine; and
between these rivers rises the point of Chimerium. Why, this trifle contains the whole seal and trial
of your resolution. Thucydides, as he himself tells us, was an Athenian and lived
during the period of the Peloponnesian War, though, from the
unfinished state of his work, he probably died before it came to an
end. Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, beginning at the moment that it broke out, and believing that it would be a great war and more worthy of relation than any that had preceded it. These
captives he sent off to the King without the knowledge of the rest of
the allies, the account being that they had escaped from him. Victory remained with
the Athenians. The general Athenian public fancy that
Hipparchus was tyrant when he fell by the hands of Harmodius and
Aristogiton, not knowing that Hippias, the eldest of the sons of
Pisistratus, was really supreme, and that Hipparchus and Thessalus
were his brothers; and that Harmodius and Aristogiton suspecting, on
the very day, nay at the very moment fixed on for the deed, that
information had been conveyed to Hippias by their accomplices,
concluded that he had been warned, and did not attack him, yet, not
liking to be apprehended and risk their lives for nothing, fell upon
Hipparchus near the temple of the daughters of Leos, and slew him as
he was arranging the Panathenaic procession. Even after the victory they obtained on their arrival- and a
victory there must have been, or the fortifications of the naval camp
could never have been built- there is no indication of their whole
force having been employed; on the contrary, they seem to have turned
to cultivation of the Chersonese and to piracy from want of supplies. They then felt that they could endure it
no longer, but that the time had come for them to throw themselves
heart and soul upon the hostile power, and break it, if they could,
by commencing the present war. The ephors listened carefully, and then departed, taking no action
for the moment, but, having at last attained to certainty, were
preparing to arrest him in the city. Brasidas and Cleon are killed. Invited to refer the dispute
about Epidamnus to arbitration, they chose to prosecute their
complaints war rather than by a fair trial. "Take time then in forming your resolution, as the matter is of
great importance; and do not be persuaded by the opinions and
complaints of others to bring trouble on yourselves, but consider the
vast influence of accident in war, before you are engaged in it. Now the Corcyraeans believe that with their petition for
assistance they can also give you a satisfactory answer on these
points, and they have therefore dispatched us hither. This our strength peculiarly enables us to do. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. And even these, although so many generations had
elapsed since the Trojan war, seem to have been principally composed
of the old fifty-oars and long-boats, and to have counted few galleys
among their ranks. Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United States License. The
Potidaeans and their allies had close upon three hundred killed; the
Athenians a hundred and fifty of their own citizens, and Callias
their general. "We have also other ways of carrying on the war, such as revolt of
their allies, the surest method of depriving them of their revenues,
which are the source of their strength, and establishment of
fortified positions in their country, and various operations which
cannot be foreseen at present. For Themistocles was a man who exhibited the most
indubitable signs of genius; indeed, in this particular he has a
claim on our admiration quite extraordinary and unparalleled. And so the power of the descendants of
Pelops came to be greater than that of the descendants of Perseus. They accordingly dismissed them alone of the
allies, without declaring their suspicions, but merely saying that
they had now no need of them. 5 For in early times
the Hellenes and the barbarians of the coast and islands, as
communication by sea became more common, were tempted to turn
pirates, under the conduct of their most powerful men; the motives
being to serve their own cupidity and to support the needy. As for
the Athenians, send to them on the matter of Potidaea, send on the
matter of the alleged wrongs of the allies, particularly as they are
prepared with legal satisfaction; and to proceed against one who
offers arbitration as against a wrongdoer, law forbids. The subsequent books narrate the course of the war
itself. Besides, we consider that we have as good a right
as any one to point out a neighbour's faults, particularly when we
contemplate the great contrast between the two national characters; a
contrast of which, as far as we can see, you have little perception,
having never yet considered what sort of antagonists you will
encounter in the Athenians, how widely, how absolutely different from
yourselves. They feared for
those who went out a deterioration similar to that observable in
Pausanias; besides, they desired to be rid of the Median War, and
were satisfied of the competency of the Athenians for the position,
and of their friendship at the time towards themselves. Suppose that we were islanders; can you
conceive a more impregnable position? But the rest of the army of the Potidaeans and of the Peloponnesians
was defeated by the Athenians, and took refuge within the
fortifications. Although unfinished and as a whole unrevised, in brilliance of description and depth of insight this history has no superior. And we know what are the
paths by which Athenian aggression travels, and how insidious is its
progress. 25 When the Epidamnians
found that no help could be expected from Corcyra, they were in a
strait what to do next. Whenever
they charged each other, the multitude and crush of the vessels made
it by no means easy to get loose; besides, their hopes of victory lay
principally in the heavy infantry on the decks, who stood and fought
in order, the ships remaining stationary. And let us not be told that it is
fitting for us to deliberate under injustice; long deliberation is
rather fitting for those who have injustice in contemplation. They became masters of
the country, though only in the immediate vicinity of the camp;
beyond which they could not go for fear of the Thessalian cavalry. So the Epidamnians went to Corinth and
delivered over the colony in obedience to the commands of the oracle. It is celebrated outside the city, and the whole people
sacrifice not real victims but a number of bloodless offerings
peculiar to the country. And let their conduct
towards us who are their kindred be a warning to you not to be misled
by their deceit, nor to yield to their direct requests; concessions
to adversaries only end in self-reproach, and the more strictly they
are avoided the greater will be the chance of security. They should show, first, that it is expedient
or at least safe to grant their request; next, that they will retain
a lasting sense of the kindness. line to jump to another position: Indeed this was the greatest movement yet known in history, not only of the The real
cause I consider to be the one which was formally most kept out of
sight. Accordingly Attica, from the
poverty of its soil enjoying from a very remote period freedom from
faction, never changed its inhabitants. Above all, it gave her most distinctly to
understand that war might be prevented by the revocation of the
Megara decree, excluding the Megarians from the use of Athenian
harbours and of the market of Athens. Perceiving what they were going to do, the Lacedaemonians sent an
embassy to Athens. Without informing Athens, she promised and intended to do so, but was
prevented by the occurrence of the earthquake, accompanied by the
secession of the Helots and the Thuriats and Aethaeans of the
Perioeci to Ithome. Hence springs your moderation, but hence also
the rather limited knowledge which you betray in dealing with foreign
politics. They
would fall upon a town unprotected by walls, and consisting of a mere
collection of villages, and would plunder it; indeed, this came to be
the main source of their livelihood, no disgrace being yet attached
to such an achievement, but even some glory. And thus Egypt returned to its subjection to the King, except
Amyrtaeus, the king in the marshes, whom they were unable to capture
from the extent of the marsh; the marshmen being also the most
warlike of the Egyptians. An
assembly was convoked, and the rival advocates appeared: the
Corcyraeans spoke as follows: 32 "Athenians! The Lacedaemonians had once raised up some
Helot suppliants from the temple of Poseidon at Taenarus, led them
away and slain them; for which they believe the great earthquake at
Sparta to have been a retribution. A degree of confidence she may feel from the idea that your
bluntness of perception prevents your noticing her; but it is nothing
to the impulse which her advance will receive from the knowledge that
you see, but do not care to interfere. On
their road they were attacked at Coronea by the Boeotian exiles from
Orchomenus, with some Locrians and Euboean exiles, and others who
were of the same way of thinking, were defeated in battle, and some
killed, others taken captive. The late return of the Hellenes from Ilium caused
many revolutions, and factions ensued almost everywhere; and it was
the citizens thus driven into exile who founded the cities. On
the return of the herald without any peaceful answer from the
Corinthians, their ships being now manned, they put out to sea to
meet the enemy with a fleet of eighty sail (forty were engaged in the
siege of Epidamnus), formed line, and went into action, and gained a
decisive victory, and destroyed fifteen of the Corinthian vessels. That empire we acquired by no violent
means, but because you were unwilling to prosecute to its conclusion
the war against the barbarian, and because the allies attached
themselves to us and spontaneously asked us to assume the command. 118 AFTER this, though
not many years later, we at length come to what has been already
related, the affairs of Corcyra andPotidaea, and the events that
served as a pretext for the present war. We meanwhile are the same then and now, and shall not, if
we are wise, disregard the wrongs of our allies, or put off till
to-morrow the duty of assisting those who must suffer to-day. Instead of meeting with the usual honours accorded to the
parent city by every other colony at public assemblies, such as
precedence at sacrifices, Corinth found herself treated with contempt
by a power which in point of wealth could stand comparison with any
even of the richest communities in Hellas, which possessed great
military strength, and which sometimes could not repress a pride in
the high naval position of an, island whose nautical renown dated
from the days of its old inhabitants, the Phaeacians. Could there be a clearer guarantee of our good faith than is
offered by the fact that the power which is at enmity with you is
also at enmity with us, and that that power is fully able to punish
defection? The circumstance which first
enabled him to lay the King under an obligation, and to make a
beginning of the whole design, was this. And praise is due to all who, if not so
superior to human nature as to refuse dominion, yet respect justice
more than their position compels them to do. 65 Aristeus, seeing its
investment complete, and having no hope of its salvation, except in
the event of some movement from the Peloponnese, or of some other
improbable contingency, advised all except five hundred to watch for
a wind and sail out of the place, in order that their provisions
might last the longer. For the Athenians also have a festival which is
called the grand festival of Zeus Meilichios or Gracious, viz., the
Diasia. Sixty-two days after the battle the Athenians marched into Boeotia
under the command of Myronides, defeated the Boeotians in battle at
Oenophyta, and became masters of Boeotia and Phocis. Being at a loss which of the two
risks to choose, whether to go to Olynthus or to Potidaea, he at last
determined to draw his men into as small a space as possible, and
force his way with a run into Potidaea. 57 These
precautions against the Potidaeans were taken by the Athenians
immediately after the battle at Corcyra. Of all that large host a few travelling
through Libya reached Cyrene in safety, but most of them perished. The Peloponnesian War was really three conflicts (431-421, 415-413, and 413-404 BCE) that Thucydides was still unifying into one account when he died some time before 396 BCE. Meanwhile Pausanias, son of Cleombrotus, was sent out from
Lacedaemon as commander-in-chief of the Hellenes, with twenty ships
from Peloponnese. We rejoin that we did not found the colony to be
insulted by them, but to be their head and to be regarded with a
proper respect. But this was a distant
enemy. But we have also
advice to offer and claims on your gratitude, which, since there is
no danger of our injuring you, as we are not enemies, and since our
friendship does not amount to very frequent intercourse, we say ought
to be liquidated at the present juncture. He saw the rise of Athens to greatness under the inspired leadership of Pericles. For war of all things proceeds least
upon definite rules, but draws principally upon itself for
contrivances to meet an emergency; and in such cases the party who
faces the struggle and keeps his temper best meets with most
security, and he who loses his temper about it with correspondent
disaster. Pursued by the officers who hung on the report of his movements, at a
loss where to turn, he was compelled to stop at the house of Admetus,
the Molossian king, though they were not on friendly terms. In former
generations there was an Athenian of the name of Cylon, a victor at
the Olympic games, of good birth and powerful position, who had
married a daughter of Theagenes, a Megarian, at that time tyrant of
Megara. 48 When the Corinthian
preparations were completed, they took three days' provisions and put
out from Chimerium by night, ready for action. Thus it happens that the vast
experience of Athens has carried her further than you on the path of
innovation. 46 Meanwhile the
Corinthians completed their preparations, and sailed for Corcyra with
a hundred and fifty ships. Now Agamemnon's was a continental power; and he could not have
been master of any except the adjacent islands (and these would not
be many), but through the possession of a fleet. After this the Peloponnesians marched into
Attica as far as Eleusis and Thrius, ravaging the country under the
conduct of King Pleistoanax, the son of Pausanias, and without
advancing further returned home. Matter was found in the
course of the inquiry to implicate Themistocles; and the
Lacedaemonians accordingly sent envoys to the Athenians and required
them to punish him as they had punished Pausanias. 56 Almost immediately
after this, fresh differences arose between the Athenians and
Peloponnesians, and contributed their share to the war. And
to say nothing of the danger of such a step, none of our foreign
sailors would consent to become an outlaw from his country, and to
take service with them and their hopes, for the sake of a few days'
high pay. We have therefore no right to be sceptical,
nor to content ourselves with an inspection of a town to the
exclusion of a consideration of its power; but we may safely conclude
that the armament in question surpassed all before it, as it fell
short of modern efforts; if we can here also accept the testimony of
Homer's poems, in which, without allowing for the exaggeration which
a poet would feel himself licensed to employ, we can see that it was
far from equalling ours. Thus while Athens was increasing her navy with the funds
which they contributed, a revolt always found them without resources
or experience for war. When the Corcyraeans
heard of the arrival of the settlers and troops in Epidamnus, and the
surrender of the colony to Corinth, they took fire. From the end of the Persian to the beginning of
the Peloponnesian War - The Progress from Supremacy to Empire. said of mankind. Disease was the real cause of his death; though there is a story of
his having ended his life by poison, on finding himself unable to
fulfil his promises to the king. Still they wished to summon their allies again, and to take their
vote on the propriety of making war. Still the defeat of their wishes could
not but cause them secret annoyance. We must believe that the tyrant
city that has been established in Hellas has been established against
all alike, with a programme of universal empire, part fulfilled, part
in contemplation; let us then attack and reduce it, and win future
security for ourselves and freedom for the Hellenes who are now
enslaved.". Themistocles told the Athenians to send him off with all speed to
Lacedaemon, but not to dispatch his colleagues as soon as they had
selected them, but to wait until they had raised their wall to the
height from which defence was possible. Alarmed by the reflection that none of the previous
messengers had ever returned, having counterfeited the seal, in order
that, if he found himself mistaken in his surmises, or if Pausanias
should ask to make some correction, he might not be discovered, he
undid the letter, and found the postscript that he had suspected,
viz., an order to put him to death. It is the law as in art, so in politics, that improvements
ever prevail; and though fixed usages may be best for undisturbed
communities, constant necessities of action must be accompanied by
the constant improvement of methods. The slowness with which it comes in
will cause delay; but the opportunities of war wait for no man. In the meantime the Lacedaemonians recalled Pausanias for
an investigation of the reports which had reached them. Farmers are a class of men that are always more ready
to serve in person than in purse. 89 THE way in which
Athens came to be placed in the circumstances under which her power
grew was this. The Lacedaemonians, having
now heard all, give their opinion, took the vote of all the allied
states present in order, great and small alike; and the majority
voted for war. A single defeat at sea is in all
likelihood their ruin: should they hold out, in that case there will
be the more time for us to exercise ourselves in naval matters; and
as soon as we have arrived at an equality in science, we need
scarcely ask whether we shall be their superiors in courage. On Point Leukimme they posted their land forces, and a
thousand heavy infantry who had come from Zacynthus to their
assistance. The states more inland and out of the highway of
communication should understand that, if they omit to support the
coast powers, the result will be to injure the transit of their
produce for exportation and the reception in exchange of their
imports from the sea; and they must not be careless judges of what is
now said, as if it had nothing to do with them, but must expect that
the sacrifice of the powers on the coast will one day be followed by
the extension of the danger to the interior, and must recognize that
their own interests are deeply involved in this discussion. After
extending the summons to any of their allies and others who might
have complaints to make of Athenian aggression, the Lacedaemonians
held their ordinary assembly, and invited them to speak. The last act
before the war was the expulsion of the nobles by the people. Whereas, if Athens were
to suffer the same misfortune, I suppose that any inference from the
appearance presented to the eye would make her power to have been
twice as great as it is. 430, the Corinthians from our shores single-handed held an assembly was convoked, and encountered all vicissitudes.
