B.C. 388. Such was the state of affairs in the Hellespont, so far at least as Athens and Sparta are concerned. Eteonicus was once more in Aegina; and notwithstanding that the Aeginetans and Athenians had up to this time held commercial intercourse1, yet now that the war was plainly to be fought out on the sea, that officer, with the concurrence2 of the ephorate, gave permission to any one who liked to plunder3 Attica.394 The Athenians retaliated4 by despatching a body of hoplites under their general Pamphilus, who constructed a fort against the Aeginetans,395 and proceeded to blockade them by land and sea with ten warships5. Teleutias, however, while threading his way among the islands in question of contributions, had chanced to reach a point where he received information of the turn in affairs with regard to the construction of the fortress7, whereupon he came to the rescue of the beleaguered8 Aeginetans, and so far succeeded that he drove off the enemy’s blockading squadron. But Pamphilus kept a firm hold on the offensive fortress, and was not to be dislodged.
After this the new admiral Hierax arrived from Lacedaemon. The naval9 force was transferred into his successor’s hands, and under the happiest auspices10 Teleutias set sail for home. As he descended11 to the seashore to start on his homeward voyage there was not one among his soldiers who had not a warm shake of the hand for their old admiral. Here one presented him with a crown, and there another with a victor’s wreath; and those who arrived too late, still, as the ship weighed anchor, threw garlands into the sea and wafted13 him many a blessing14 with prayerful lips. I am well aware that in the above incident I have no memorable15 story of munificence16, peril17, or invention to narrate18, but in all sincerity19 I protest that a man may find food for reflection in the inquiry20 what Teleutias had done to create such a disposition21 in his subordinates. Here we are brought face to face with a true man’s work more worthy22 of account than multitudes of riches or adventure.396
The new admiral Hierax, taking with him the larger portion of the fleet, set sail once more for Rhodes. He left behind him twelve vessels23 in Aegina under his vice-admiral Gorgopas, who was now installed as governor of that island. In consequence of this chance the Athenian troops inside the fortres were more blockaded than the Aeginetans themselves, so much so that a vote was passed by the Athenian assembly, in obedience25 to which a large fleet was manned, and the garrison26, after four months’ sojourn27 in Aegina, were brought back. But this was no sooner done than they began to be harassed28 by Gorgopas and the privateers again. To operate aganst these they fitted out thirteen vessels, choosing Eunomus as admiral in command. Hierax was still in Rhodes when the Lacedaemonians sent out a new admiral, Antalcidas; they believed that they could not find a better mode of gratifying Tiribazus. Accordingly Antalcidas, after visiting Aegina in order to pick up the vessels under Gorgopas, set sail for Ephesus. At this point he sent back Gorgopas with his twelve ships to Aegina, and appointed his vice-admiral Nicolochus to command the remainder of the fleet.
Nicolochus was to relieve Abydos, and thither31 set sail; but in the course of the voyage turned aside to Tenedos, where he ravaged32 the territory, and, with the money so secured, sailed on to Abydos. The Athenian generals397 on their side, collecting from Samothrace, Thasos, and the fortresses33 in that quarter, hastened to the relief of Tenedos; but, finding that Nicolochus had continued his voyage to Abydos, they selected the Chersonese as their base, and proceeded to blockade him and his fleet of five-and-twenty vessels with the two-and-thirty vessels under their joint34 command.
Meanwhile Gorgopas, returning from Ephesus, fell in with the Athenian admiral Eunomus, and, shunning35 an encounter at the moment, sought shelter in Aegina, which he reached a little before sunset; and at once disembarking his men, set them down to their evening meal; whilst Eunomus on his side, after hanging back for a little while, sailed away. Night fell, and the Athenian, showing the customary signal light to prevent his squadron straggling, led the way in the darkness. Gorgopas instantly got his men on board again, and, taking the lantern for his guide, followed the Athenians, craftily37 lagging behind a little space, so as not to show himself or raise any suspicion of his presence. In place of the usual cry the boatswains timed the rowers by a clink of stones, and silently the oars38 slid, feathering through the waves398; and just when the squadron of Eunomus was touching39 the coast, off Cape40 Zoster399 in Attica, the Spartan41 sounded the bugle-note for the charge. Some of Eunomus’s vessels were in the act of discharging their crews, others were still getting to their moorings, whilst others were as yet only bearing down to land. The engagement was fought by the light of the moon, and Gorgopas captured four triremes, which he tied astern, and so set sail with his prizes in tow towards Aegina. The rest of the Athenian squadron made their escape into the harbour of Piraeus.
It was after these events that Chabrias400 commenced his voyage to Cyprus, bringing relief to Evagoras. His force consisted at first of eight hundred light troops and ten triremes, but was further increased by other vessels from Athens and a body of heavy infantry42. Thus reinforced, the admiral chose a night and landed in Aegina; and secreted43 himself in ambuscade with his light troops in hollow ground some way beyond the temple of Heracles. At break of day, as prearranged, the Athenian hoplites made their appearance under command of Demaenetus, and began mounting up between two and three miles401 beyond the Kerakleion at Tripurgia, as it is called. The news soon reached Gorgopas, who sallied out to the rescue with the Aeginetans and the marines of his vessels, being further accompanied by eight Spartans45 who happened to be with him. Not content with these he issued orders inviting46 any of the ships’ crews, who were free men, to join the relief party. A large number of these sailors responded. They armed themselves as best they could, and the advance commenced. When the vanguard were well past the ambuscade, Chabrias and his men sprang up from their hiding-place, and poured a volley of javelins47 and stones upon the enemy. At the same moment the hoplites, who had disembarked,402 were advancing, so that the Spartan vanguard, in the absence of anything like collective action, were speedily cut down, and among them fell Gorgopas with the Lacedaemonians. At their fall the rest of course turned and fled. One hundred and fifty Aeginetans were numbered among the slain49, while the loss incurred50 by the foreigners, metics, and sailors who had joined the relief party, reached a total of two hundred. After this the Athnenians sailed the sea as freely as in the times of actual peace. Nor would anything induce the sailors to row a single stroke for Eteonicus — even under pressure — since he had no pay to give.
Subsequently the Lacedaemonians despatched Teleutias once again to take command of the squadron, and when the sailors saw it was he who had come, they were overjoyed. He summoned a meeting and addressed them thus: “Soldiers, I am back again, but I bring with me no money. Yet if God be willing, and your zeal52 flag not, I will endeavour to supply you with provisions without stint53. Be well assured, as often as I find myself in command of you, I have but one prayer — that your lives may be spared no less than mine; and as for the necessaries of existence, perhaps it would astonish you if I said I would rather you should have them than I. Yet by the gods I swear I would welcome two days’ starvation in order to spare you one. Was not my door open in old days to every comer? Open again it shall stand now; and so it shall be; where your own board overflows54, you shall look in and mark the luxury of your general; but if at other times you see him bearing up against cold and heat and sleepless55 nights, you must apply the lesson to yourselves and study to endure those evils. I do not bid you do aught of this for self-mortification’s sake, but that you may derive56 some after-blessing from it. Soldiers, let Lacedaemon, our own mother-city, be to you an example. Her good fortune is reputed to stand high. That you know; and you know too, that she purchased her glory and her greatness not by faint-heartedness, but by choosing to suffer pain and incur51 dangers in the day of need. ‘Like city,’ I say, ‘like citizens.’ You, too, as I can bear you witness, have been in times past brave; but today must we strive to be better than ourselves. So shall we share our pains without repining, and when fortune smiles, mingle57 our joys; for indeed the sweetest thing of all surely is to flatter no man, Hellene or Barbarian58, for the sake of hire; we will suffice to ourselves, and from a source to which honour pre-eminently invites us; since, I need not remind you, abundance won from the enemy in war furnishes forth59 not bodily nutrition only, but a feast of glory the wide world over.”
So he spoke60, and with one voice they all shouted to him to issue what orders he thought fit; they would not fail him in willing service. The general’s sacrifice was just concluded, and he answered: “Good, then, my men; go now, as doubtless you were minded, and take your evening meal, and next provide yourselves, please, with one day’s food. After that repair to your ships without delay, for we have a voyage on hand, whither God wills, and must arrive in time.” So then, when the men returned, he embarked48 them on their ships, and sailed under cover of night for the great harbour of Piraeus: at one time he gave the rowers rest, passing the order to take a snatch of sleep; at another he pushed forward towards his goal with rise and fall of oars. If any one supposes that there was a touch of madness in such an expedition — with but twelve triremes to attack an enemy possessed61 of a large fleet — he should consider the calculations of Teleutias. He was under the firm persuasion62 that the Athenians were more careless than ever about their navy in the harbour since the death of Gorgopas; and in case of finding warships riding at anchor — even so, there was less danger, he conjectured63, in attacking twenty ships in the port of Athens than ten elsewhere; for, whereas, anywhere outside the harbour the sailors would certainly be quartered on board, at Athens it was easy to divine that the captains and officers would be sleeping at their homes, and the crews located here and there in different quarters.
This minded he set sail, and when he was five or six furlongs403 distant from the harbour he lay on his oars and rested. But with the first streak64 of dawn he led the way, the rest following. The admiral’s orders to the crews were explicit65. They were on no account to sink any merchant vessel24; they were equally to avoid damaging404 their own vessels, but if at any point they espied66 a warship6 at her moorings they must try and cripple her. The trading vessels, provided they had got their cargoes67 on board, they must seize and tow out of the harbour; those of larger tonnage they were to board wherever they could and capture the crews. Some of his men actually jumped on to the Deigma quay,405 where they seized hold of various traders and pilots and deposited them bodily on board ship. So the Spartan admiral carried out his programme.
As to the Athenians, meanwhile, some of them who got wind of what was happening rushed from indoors outside to see what the commotion68 meant, others from the streets home to get their arms, and others again were off to the city with the news. The whole of Athens rallied to the rescue at that instant, heavy infantry and cavalry69 alike, the apprehension70 being that Piraeus was taken. But the Spartan sent off the captured vessels to Aegina, telling off three or four of his triremes to convoy71 them thither; with the rest he followed along the coast of Attica, and emerging in seemingly innocent fashion from the harbour, captured a number of fishing smacks72, and passage boats laden73 with passengers crossing to Piraeus from the islands; and finally, on reaching Sunium he captured some merchantmen laden with corn or other merchandise. After these performances he sailed back to Aegina, where he sold his prizes, and with the proceeds was able to provide his troops with a month’s pay, and for the future was free to cruise about and make what reprisals74 chance cast in his way. By such a procedure he was able to support a full quota75 of mariners76 on board his squadron, and procured77 to himself the prompt and enthusiastic service of his troops.
B.C. 388-387. Antalcidas had now returned from the Persian court with Tiribazus. The negotiations78 had been successful. He had secured the alliance of the Persian king and his military co-operation in case the Athenians and their allies refused to abide79 by the peace which the king dictated80. But learning that his second in command, Nicolochus, was being blockaded with his fleet by Iphicrates and Diotimus406 in Abydos, he set off at once by land for that city. Being come thither he took the fleet one night and put out to sea, having first spread a story that he had invitations from a party in Calchedon; but as a matter of fact he came to anchorage in Percote and there kept quiet. Meanwhile the Athenian forces under Demaenetus and Dionysius and Leontichus and Phanias had got wind of his movement, and were in hot pursuit towards Proconnesus. As soon as they were well past, the Spartan veered81 round and returned to Abydos, trusting to information brought him of the approach of Polyxenus with the Syracusan407 and Italian squadron of twenty ships, which he wished to pick up and incorporate with his own.
A little later the Athenian Thrasybulus408 (of Collytus) was making his way up with eight ships from Thrace, his object being to effect a junction82 with the main Athenian squadron. The scouts83 signalled the approach of eight triremes, whereupon Antalcidas, embarking36 his marines on board twelve of the fastest sailers of his fleet, ordered them to make up their full complements84, where defective85, from the remaining vessels; and so lay to, skulking86 in his lair87 with all possible secrecy88. As soon as the enemy’s vessels came sailing past he gave chase; and they catching89 sight of him took to flight. With his swiftest sailors he speedily overhauled90 their laggards91, and ordering his vanguard to let these alone, he followed hard on those ahead. But when the foremost had fallen into his clutches, the enemy’s hinder vessels, seeing their leaders taken one by one, out of sheer despondency fell an easy prey92 to the slower sailors of the foe93, so that not one of the eight vessels escaped.
Presently the Syracusan squadron of twenty vessels joined him, and again another squadron from Ionia, or rather so much of that district as lay under the control of Tiribazus. The full quota of the contingent94 was further made up from the territory of Ariobarzanes (which whom Antalcidas kept up a friendship of long standing), in the absence of Pharnabazus, who by this date had already been summoned up country on the occasion of his marriage with the king’s daughter. With this fleet, which, from whatever sources derived95, amounted to more than eighty sail, Antalcidas ruled the seas, and was in a position not only to cut off the passage of vessels bound to Athens from the Euxine, but to convoy them into the harbours of Sparta’s allies.
The Athenians could not but watch with alarm the growth of the enemy’s fleet, and began to fear a repetition of their former discomfiture96. To be trampled97 under foot by the hostile power seemed indeed no remote possibility, now that the Lacedaemonians had procured an ally in the person of the Persian monarch98, and they were in little less than a state of siege themselves, pestered99 as they were by privateers from Aegina. On all these grounds the Athenians became passionately100 desirous of peace.409 The Lacedaemonians were equally out of humour with the war for various reasons — what with their garrison duties, one mora at Lechaeum and another at Orchomenus, and the necessity of keeping watch and ward12 on the states, if loyal not to lose them, if disaffected101 to prevent their revolt; not to mention that reciprocity of annoyance410 of which Corinth was the centre. So again the Argives had a strong appetite for peace; they knew that the ban had been called out against them, and, it was plain, that no fictitious102 alteration103 of the calendar would any longer stand them in good stead. Hence, when Tiribazus issued a summons calling on all who were willing to listen to the terms of peace sent down by the king411 to present themselves, the invitation was promptly104 accepted. At the opening of the conclave412 Tiribazus pointed30 to the king’s seal attached to the document, and proceeded to read the contents, which ran as follows:
“The king, Artaxerxes, deems it just that the cities in Asia, with the islands of Clazomenae and Cyprus, should belong to himself; the rest of the Hellenic cities he thinks it just to leave independent, both small and great, with the exception of Lemnos, Imbros, and Scyros, which three are to belong to Athens as of yore. Should any of the parties concerned not accept this peace, I, Artaxerxes, will war against him or them with those who share my views. This will I do by land and by sea, with ships and with money.”
After listening to the above declaration the ambassadors from the several states proceeded to report the same to their respective governments. One and all of these took the oaths413 to ratify29 and confirm the terms unreservedly, with the exception of the Thebans, who claimed to take the oaths in behalf of all Boeotians. This claim Agesilaus repudiated105: unless they chose to take the oaths in precise conformity106 with the words of the king’s edict, which insisted on “the future autonomy of each state, small or great,” he would not admit them. To this the Theban ambassadors made no other reply, except that the instructions they had received were different. “Pray go, then,” Agesilaus retorted, “and ask the question; and you may inform your countrymen that if they will not comply, they will be excluded from the treaty.” The Theban ambassadors departed, but Agesilaus, out of hatred107 to the Thebans, took active measures at once. Having got the consent of the ephors he forthwith offered sacrifice. The offerings for crossing the frontier were propitious108, and he pushed on to Tegea. From Tegea he despatched some of the knights109 right and left to vist the perioeci and hasten their mobilisation, and at the same time sent commanders of foreign brigades to the allied44 cities on a similar errand. But before he had started from Tegea the answer from Thebes arrived; the point was yielded, they would suffer the states to be independent. Under these circumstances the Lacedaemonians returned home, and the Thebans were forced to accept the truce110 unconditionally111, and to recognise the autonomy of the Boeotian cities.414 But now the Corinthians were by no means disposed to part with the garrison of the Argives. Accordingly Agesilaus had a word of warning for both. To the former he said, “if they did not forthwith dismiss the Argives,” and to the latter, “if they did not instantly quit Corinth,” he would march an army into their territories. The terror of both was so great that the Argives marched out of Corinth, and Corinth was once again left to herself;415 whereupon the “butchers”416 and their accomplices112 in the deed of blood determined113 to retire from Corinth, and the rest of the citizens welcomed back their late exiles voluntarily.
Now that the transactions were complete, and the states were bound by their oaths to abide by the peace sent down to them by the king, the immediate114 result was a general disarmament, military and naval forces being alike disbanded; and so it was that the Lacedaemonians and Athenians, with their allies, found themselves in the enjoyment115 of peace for the first time since the period of hostilities116 subsequent to the demolition117 of the walls of Athens. From a condition which, during the war, can only be described as a sort of even balance with their antagonists118, the Lacedaemonians now emerged; and reached a pinnacle119 of glory consequent upon the Peace of Antalcidas,417 so called. As guarantors of the peace presented by Hellas to the king, and as administrators120 personally of the autonomy of the states, they had added Corinth to their alliance; they had obtained the independence of the states of Boeotia at the expense of Thebes,418 which meant the gratification of an old ambition; and lastly, by calling out the ban in case the Argives refused to evacuate121 Corinth, they had put a stop to the appopriation of that city by the Argives.
