PREFACE.
The text adopted in the present edition of the first two
books of Xenophon's Hellenica follows in the main the last
revision of Dindorf, published in 1885, any departures from
which are duly noticed as they occur.
The introduction is divided into several sections. The
first tries rather perhaps to raise than to solve the nlain points
in the complicated question- as to the method of composition
and the intention of the author in these two books, — a
question, which, since the criticism of Niebuhr, has been
vigorously discussed by Peter, Sievers, Breitenbach, and many
other German scholars, but with results on the whole more
negative than positive. The views taken in this and in the
following section on the equally vexed question of Xenophon's
chronology are chiefly based on those advanced by Breiten-
bach in his second edition in the Weidmann series of Greek
and Latin Classics (Berlin, 1884). The third section en-
deavours to supply, from other authorities, what Xenophon
himself almost entirely omits, an account of the internal
affairs of Athens during the last seven and a half years of the
Peloponnesian War ; and for this portion of the introduction
Gilbert's Beiirdge zur Innern Geschichte Athens (Leipzig,
1877) h^s been found most useful. The fourth section
states once again and discusses as briefly as possible the
many difiiculties of fact and of law occurring in Xenophon's
version of the trial of the Generals after the battle of Arginusae ;
and any completeness to which it may pretend is mostly due
4 PREFACE.
to the many valuable suggestions kindly made by Mr. T.
Case, Fellow and Tutor of Corpus Christi College.
The notes are intended not only to explain the critical
and grammatical difficulties in the text, which, though serious
when they do arise, fortimately occur but seldom, but also to
supply a commentary upon the history of the times, and to
point out even at the risk of repetition the numerous gaps
and points of obsciuity in Xenophon's narrative.
To give greater completeness to the Edition, a chrono-
logical summary, a running analysis, and a copious index
of proper names have been added.
Finally, the Editor is much indebted to Mr. Evelyn Abbott,
Fellow and Tutor of Balliol College, for the great assistance
which he has so generously given him, in carrying the book
through the press, and for the many corrections and improve- '
ments which he has made for him throughout the whole
work.

INTRODUCTION.
§ I. The Composition of the Hellenic a.
Although the writings of Xenophon, known as the Hellenica,
have a certain unity of subject in so far as they all treat of Greek
history, yet even a cursory examination soon reveals that they
fall into two, if not three, parts, distinguished by intervals of
time, by differences of style, and apparently by variety of purpose.
The first part again subdivides into two, of which the one
extends from bk. i. to bk. ii. 3. 10, and continues the history of
the Pelpponnesian War from the point where it was
left in the unfinished work of Thucydides down to aqa b n
the destruction of the Long Walls of Athens— an '
event which Thucydides ^ himself takes as marking the end of the
war : while the other takes up the course of events again after an
interval of six months at ii. 3. 1 1, and relates what was virtually
but another outbreak of th& same war, down to the
final pacification of Athens by Pausanias king of *^ ^•^- ^^
Sparta. The second part (bks. iii. — ^vii.) resumes . * *
the narrative gf Greek history one and a-half years later, and
continues it, without any serious break, down to 362 B.C., the
year of the battle of Mantinea and the death of
Epaminondas. Two questions, therefore, arise at 3^2 b C
once, (i) what is the relation of the first part to the
History of Thucydides ? and (2) what is the relation of the parts
to one another ?
As to the first question, evidence both internal, and external
alike points to books i. ii. being designedly a continuation of
Thucydides. Diodorus Siculus (xiii. 42) says Sepocp&p koI ecdiro/i-
nos a(f>* Itv mreXme QovKvBiBrjs t^v apxriv TTiiroirjvrai, Dionysius of
Halicamassus ' and Marcellinus ' give similar testimony. And

6 INTRODUCTION.
internal evidence shows thiat it is itot a continuation merely in
the sense in which Thuqydides i:^ntinued Herodotus, or Theo-
pompus continued Thucydides, by beginning an independent
narrative at the point where that of the predecessoir stopped ;
but that it was written with the express purpose of completing
what Thucydides for some unknown reason had left unfinished.
On no other hypothesis, except indeed that the beginning of the
Hellenica itself is lost (which seems exceedingly unlikely), can it
be explained why the author should begin, not only without an
introduction — a preliminary which Xenophon dispenses with in
other works — but without any explanation, however brief, of the
events immediately preceding, and of the persons engaged in
them, sufficient to put the reader in a position to understand the
further development of their history. On the contrary, Xeno-
phon plunges him * in medias res ' with the connecting phrase
/xera hk Toura, which seems to refer, to the battle of Cynossema,
previously described by Thucydides *. He is supposed to be
already acquainted with Thymochares, the Athenian general,
and Agesandridas ^, the Spartan general, who had a few months
previously met in battle off Eretria ; and also to know the place,
i. e. the Hellespont, where the Athenian and Lacedaemonian
fleets were stationed when this second (av^is) naval engagement
took place; while not a word is said of the disaster which
Diodorus (xiii.41) relates to have ot^ertaken Agesandridas off
Mount Athos in the interval. Similarly, Dorieus is suddenly
represented as sailing from Rhodes to the Hellespont, but in
Thucydides ^ he last appears at Miletus, whence Diodorus * tells
us that he had been sent by Mindarus to Rhodes. The Athenian
generals are introduced with the article (roiy orpaT^yois) as if
they had been already mentioned ; but we are left to gather
from Thucydides ^ that they were Thrasyllus and Thrasybulus.
Xenophon omits altogether to mention the movement of the
Athenian fleet from Cyzicus to the mouth of the Hellespont ^
and the corresponding movement of the Peloponnesian fleet from
Elaeus to Abydos. So, too, (§ 6) Alcibiades sails up from no

one knows where, and (§ 12) Theramenes comes from Macedonia;
whereas Thucydides ^ had left the one in Samos and the other
in Athens. The motive of Tissaphemes' journey to the Helles-
pont is never stated, and can only be supplied by a reference to
Thucydides' narrative ^. All these passages, therefore, seem to
take for granted an acquaintance with Thucydides, and if it be
further supposed that the last fifteen chapters of Thucydides'
eighth book have been lost — for to all appearances an interval of
some five or six weeks must have elapsed since the last event
mentioned in Thucydides and the first alluded to by Xenophon —
even the points of obscurity in them are capable of explanation.
Again in books i.-ii. 3. 10 Xenophon adopts an annalistic
mode of treatment, which it would appear from the later books
was entirely foreign to his natural inclination for grouping
events together. But so soon as he has brought his narrative
down to the surrender of Athens, which Thucydides' had
announced as the goal of his undertaking, he drops this method,
and relates the usurpation of the Thirty without any definite
marks of timfe. And the fact that even in the first period
he does not adhere consistently * to Thucydides* chronological
system of summers and winters, shows still more plainly that he
was modelling his own work on that of somebody else. For
once * he forgets to give the beginning of the year, twice the
beginning of the winter ®, and, more often than not, he does not
notice the end of the summers and winters — data which Thucy-
dides never omits. And sometimes before he has finished with
the narrative of one year, he anticipates the events of the next ''.
Further, Xenophon, like Thucydides, at the end of each year
finds a place wherein to put a brief account of contemporary
events, e.g. in Persia, Sicily, or elsewhere, which he could not
well weave into his main narrative ; but, unlike Thucydides, he
does not make it plain at what season of the year in question
they occurred ^. Finally, Xenophon ® skips over the interval of
six months which elapsed between the surrender of Athens and
the appointment of the Thirty without any definite mark of time

at all, save the mention of an eclipse \ so that, had we his
narrative only, we should have no idea that any such interval
had occurred.
All the evidence, therefore, external and internal alike, seems
to show that Xenophon purposely intended the first part of the
Hellenica to be a completion of Thucydides' unfinished history
of the Peloponnesian War.
In discussing the second question, the relation of the two
parts of the Hellenica to each other, we get little to help us from
external testimony. A distinction into two parts does indeed
seem to be implied in the words of Marcellinus^ — ra hk tS>p

But both authors seem to make the distinction one of time only,
and to regard the two parts as together forming a connected
whole. Such a view, however, on a comparison of them, would
appear id be quite untenable.
In books iii. — ^vii. all the trammels of Thucydides' system of
arrangement and chronology disappear. Though they contain
the history of forty years, the beginnings of years are only twice
noticed *. Summers and winters are no longer taken as formal
marks of time, but are casually mentioned only in conjunction
with events'. And the events themselves are no more related
year by year in the order that they occiured, but Xenophon
groups them together wherever he sees a causal nexus between
them, often narrating a connected series of events quite con-,
tinuously, and then returning to his starting-point in order to
bring up the general course of iGreek history to the same
date*.
Again, although even in the first two books Xenophon ' once
breaks through the impersonal style of writing, which he had
inherited from Thucydides, and in two or three other passages

adds moral comments, such as are hardly to be found in the
earlier historian, still in the later books he allows his own moral
and theological proclivities to appear much more on the surface.
The general theme of the five boolcs seems to be the rise and
downfall of Spartan greatness ^. As formerly in Athens, so now
at Sparta, power gives birth to v/Sptr, v^pir to impiety, and
impiety soon brings pimishment in its train*. Unwarned by
examples, the Thebans use their supremacy with an insolence
equally great, and are overtaken with a ruin still more rapid.
As with states, st) with individuals. Dercyllidas and Agesilaus
show reverence towards the gods^ and reap an immediate
reward for their piety : impiety as quickly meets with punish-
ment. Xenophon is no longer the simple annalist of facts ; now
he appears in his better known character of the moralist,
reading his lessons from the pages of human history.
The differences of style between the earlier and later books
are no less marked. Books L, ii. are disfigured by omissions,
by obscurities left unexplained, by unequal and disproportionate
treatment of events, in themselves equally important, by un-
accountable breaks and interruptions, and by a general want of
finish — of which more hereafter. But books iii.-vii., whatever
may be thought of their positive value as historical documents,
contain a narrative which is indeed plainly and simply told, but
at the same time with an admirable' literary finish. In them
Xenophon follows tlie requirements of literary, if not of historical,
proportion. No inddents are related at undue length ; no
events, which he chooses to bring into his narrative at all, are
scamped. The speeches and dialogues so frequently introduced
are all appropriate and suitable to the occasion. In passing
from the earlier to the later books, we seem to pass from chaos
to order.
Finally, internal evidence seems to point to the earlier and
later books of the Hellenics having been written at very different
dates ^ For in i. ii., with one exception, there are no allusions

to any event happening later than 403 B. c, though in several
passages such allusions might have been aptly introduced^.
The exception is the last words of ii., where Xenophon speaks
of the fidelity of the Athenian democrats to their oath of
amnesty as continuing tn Koi vvp. Here Niebuhr long ago
pointed out that such praise can only mean that certain definite
persons, who had been guilty of certain definite acts during the
usurpation of the Thirty, had never down to that time been
prosecuted or in any way attacked. Therefore the interval
between the Amnesty and the time when tltese words were
written cannot have been very long, not more than ten or fifteen
years at most. Now Xenophon returned to Greece after his
Asiatic expedition with Cyrus in 394 B.C. He must, therefore,
have finished bk. ii. shortly after that date. But the last five
books he must have written much later ; for in vi. 4. 37, when
recounting the events of 371, 370 B.C., he alludes to the death of
Alexander of Pherae in 357 B.C., and in bk. vii. he ends his
history with the battle of Mantinea in 362 B.C.
So far, therefore, it may be concluded that bks. i. and ii.
were composed at a time, on a system, and with an object, quite
different from bks. iii. — vii.
But, as already mentioned, the difficulties in bks. i., ii. do
not end here : there still remain to be considered the strange
omissions, the unequal and disproportionate treatment of events
of very varying importance, and the numerous points of obscurity
which disfigure these two books.
To begin with the omissions, which occur not only in the
interval between the point where Thucydides ends and
the Hellenics fall into three parts, the first extending from the beginning
to ii. 3. 10, the second from ii. 3. 11 to v. i. 36, and the third from
V. 2 to the end. The first and third parts exhibit, he thinks, a more
consistent use of the purely Attic dialect, while the second part is fall of
lonisms. He therefore conjectures that the first part was written just
after Xenophon's return from the expedition of the Ten Thousand,
c. 400 B.C., that the second part was first composed immediately after
the peace of Antalcidas, 387 B.C., but was re-edited (a hypothesis which
he is obliged to make to account for the somewhat indiscriminate use
of Attic and Ionic forms) at the same time that the third part was
written, i.e. subsequent to 362 B.C.
' Cf. ii. 2. 19 with iii 5. 8 and vi. 5. 55 ; ii. 4. 30 with iii. 5. 5, etc.
§ I. COMPOSITION OF THE HELLENIC A. II
Xenophon begins, but frequently throughout the first two
books. Xenophon does not mention ^ the Spartan offers of
peace to the Athenians after the battle of Cyzicus, which,
Diodorus says, were rejected through the influence of the
demagogue Cleophon. The recovery of Pylos ^ by the Lace-
daemonians, which the Athenians had held ever since,425 B.C.,
Xenophon represents as the mere expulsion of some runaway
Helots ; and he does not say a word about tl\e unsuccessful ex-
pedition which the Athenians sent under Anytus to relieve their
garrison in the place; nor about the recovery by the Megarians
of their port of Nisaea at this same time, which had been in
the possession of the Athenians since 424 ; nor yet about the
battle, which shortly ensued, when the Athenians defeated the
Megarians with great slaughter. Again, nothing is said about
Alcibiades' plundering expedition against Cyme, though accord-
ing to Diodorus* it was one of the chief causes of the complaints
against him, which brought about his downfall. Similarly*, Xeno-
phon does not tell how in the year of his admiralty Lysander
organized the oligarchical clubs in Asiatic Greece and the
Aegean, which, after the battle of Aegospotami, did such good
service to the Lacedaemonian cause. In bk. ii.*^ Xenophon omits
the selection of an oligarchical committee of Five at Athens, after
the surrender of the city, who were called Ephors out of com-
pliment to Sparta, and the struggle of some months between the
oligarchs and democrats before the appointment of the Thirty,
wherein, as a preliminary step, many of the generals, taxiarchs,
and other important persons belonging to the democratic party
were arrested. He omits, too, the third visit ' of Lysander to
Athens in the autumn of 404 B.C., during which the Thirty were
appointed, and also Lysander's further exploits in the Aegean in
the next six months ; and, stranger still, he omits to notice
* Cf. i. I. 23 with Diod. xiii. 52, Nepos Ale. 5. The Scholiast on
Arist. Frogs 1580, speaks of a second similar application after Arginusae,
which, if authentic, is also omitted by Xenophon.

Alcibiades' murder^ and the share that Lysander had in bringing
it about. So, too,* the cruel decree ^ of the Spartans, forbidding
any Greek state to give shelter to the Athenian exiles, is passed
over ; and the ultimate fate ^ of the Thirty themselves is dis-
missed in a single unintelligible phrase.
Obscurities due to the omission of some important link in the
chain of events, or to excessive brevity, are even more numerous.
It has been already shown how Xenophon presupposes a know-
ledge of Thucydides, and that even then more has to be supplied
to fill up the interval of six weeks between the two narratives ;
but the same defects are noticeable throughout. For example, the
newly-appointed generals coming from Syracuse are made to
take over thie fleet at Miletus, which Xenophon had represented
as built and still in dock at Antandros *. Thrasyllus was sent
to Athens to procure reinforcements for the Athenian armament
in the Hellespont ' ; but when at last he is given them, he takes
them, without a word of explanation, to Ionia. No reason is
assigned for the Lacedaemonian ambassadors and Hermocrates
attaching themselves to the Athenian ambassadors ®, to whom
Phamabazus promised a safe conduct to the Persian king after
the capture of Byzantium. These ambassadors at Gordium
meet other Lacedaemonian ambassadors returning from the
king ■', who are introduced with the definite article, as if already
mentioned. What finally became of Hermocrates, when he
attempted to return to Syracuse, is never stated *. Callicratidas
at an important crisis sent ships to Sparta to procure supplies •,
but nothing more is heard of them. Though in 409 B.C.
Chalcedon was not captured by the Athenians ^°, yet in 405 B.C.
it appears in their possession. Theramenes^^ in his defence
against Critias refers, as to a well-known fact, to the banishment
of Thrasybulus, Anytus, and Alcibiades, although not a word
has previously been said about them. After the death of
Theramenes the Thirty forbid all cf « toO KaraKoyov to enter the
city^* ; but. it nowhere appears that they had b^en previously

driven out. Finally the Ten in the Piraeus are introduced with
the definite article, although never before mentioned ^.
Still more unaccountable is the curious inequality and dispro-
portionate length with which many episodes are treated. Per-
sonal details, as any one acquainted with the other writings of
Xenophon might expect, are often given with considerable
fulness, like the negotiations between Lysander and Cyrus',
the stratagem whereby Conon contrived to send to Athens news
of his blockade in Mytilene', the measures adopted by Eteonicus
to quell the mutiny of his troops at Chios*, the execution of
Theramenes^, and the device of the oligarchical engineer to
hinder the advance of Thrasybulus' siege engines *. On the other
hand, many important events are dismissed in a few words, e.g.
the expulsion of the Philo-Laconian party from Thasos and the
consequent exile of Pasippidas '^ ; the capture of Selybria ^ ; the
joint attack of Thrasybulus and Alcibiades upon Phocaea'.; the
capture of Delphinium by the Spartans ^** ; tTie accusation of
Erasinides Trepi r^y arpariTyias after Arginusae ^^ ; the ardais in
which the demagogue Cleophon was slain ; the revolt of the
Athenian allies and. the institution of Harmosts ^d Decarchies
after the battle of Aegospotami ^^ ; the'amnesty of Patroclides '',
by which he attempted Jo unite all parties at Athens to sustain
the coming siege ; the opposition offered to Theramenes* pro-
posals for peace with Sparta and the ultimate surrender of the
city**; the appointment of the Thirty at Athens *' ; the return of
Thrasybulus and the democratic exiles, and their reorganization
of the constitution *® ; and lastly, the annihilation of the Thirty
at Eleusis, and the final amnesty of Thrasybulus". There is the
same want of proportion in the speeches reported in these two
books. While the speech of Alcibiades to his fleet before the
battle of Cyzicus is dismissed in three lines *^, the speeches of
Callicratidas to the discontented Lacedaemonians and to the
Milesian assembly are given at some length ^^ Similarly, only
the bare subject of Alcibiades' speeches before the Athenian

senate and assembly on his return from exile is indicated ' ;
whereas the speeches of Euryptolemus in defence of the
generals *, and of Critias and Theramenes ', delivered on occas-
sions of certainly no greater importance, are reported at an
extraordinary length — greater, indeed, than any in the five later
books.
To account for these defects various theories, more or less
plausible, but none very satisfactory, have been started. Some
of them may be at once dismissed. Thus there is no evidence,
either internal or external, to show that for these two books
Xenophon used the materials already collected by Thucydides
for the completion of his work. Such a hypothesis furnishes no
explanation whatever why some events should have been put in
and others left out, why some parts should have been elaborated
and others not, especially as in the more elaborated portions, e.g.
the long speeches of Euryptolemus, Critias, and Theramenes,
there are no traces of Thucydides* peculiarities of style. Still
less defensible is the theory that in their present shape bks.
i., ii. are an epitome of a larger work of Xenophon's own. For
the characteristics of an epitome are to leave out unimportant
details altogether, and to give a summary of the whole, laying
most emphasis on the events of most importance. But in these
books the case is frequently reversed.
More worthy of examination is Siever's* theory, that these
defects of omission and commission are due to Xenophon's par-
tiality for Sparta and her constitution. In support of his view, he
adduces the omission of the humiliating offers of peace through
the mouthpiece of the ephor Endius after the defeat of Cyzicus ;
of the crushing defeat of the Megarians just after they had suc-
ceeded in recovering their port at Nisaea ; of Agis' unsuccessful
sally from Decelea right up to the walls of Athens ; of Lysander's
organization of the oligarchical clubs among the Asiatic Greeks;
of Ly Sander's cruel conduct towards the Milesians ' ; of the
violent measures whereby Lysander set up the Thirty at Athens;
of the part which Lysander played in procuring the assassination
of Alcibiades — to which might be added the defective account
Xenophon gives of the recovery of Pylos by the Lacedaemonians,

•
and the mean motive that he attributes to king Pausanias for
checkmating Lysander's design of extermination against the
Athenian exiles under Thrasybulus\ But an almost equal
number of omissions may be collected of incidents favourable to
Sparta, and of insertions of things damaging to her reputation.
Thus Xenophon never has a word of praise for Lysander,
although he was the victor at Aegospotami, and the main cause
of the downfall of Athens ; and he evidently has a much greater
admiration not only for the unsuccessful Callicratidas, between
whose unselfish and pat;;riotic behaviour and Lysander's mean-
ness and ambition a tacit contrast is manifestly implied ; but
even for the hesitating Pausanias, who throughout showed him-
self at heart the consistent friend of Athens. Again, Xenophon
omits the recapture of Nisaeaby the Megarians, and the capture
of Chios, Iasos,and Sdstos by the Peloponnesians ^ — all Lacedae-
monian successes most damaging to Athens, dn the other hand,
he relates in full the disastrous defeats of the Peloponnesians at
Abydos, Cyzicus, and Arginusae, and even gives verbatim Hippo-
crates' pitiable letter to the Spartan government. Neither does
he gloze over the appointment of the ruffian Callibius to be har-
most at Athens, or the enormities committed by the Thirty under '
his sanction and under the protection of the Spartan garrison.
Moreover, to take the converse of the theory, it seems to be just
as much a matter of accident what incidents Xenophon happens
to insert or omit favourable or damaging to the reputation of
Athens. Thus, on the one slide he does not relate the nefarious
intrigues of the oligarchical party after the battle of Aegos-
potami, their appointment of the Five Ephors, their arrest under
various pretences of the leading democrats, and their base
invitation of Lysander to. help them in suppressing the demo-
cracy. But on the other side, though he does indeed relate how
conscience-stricken the Athenians felt after the battle of Aegos-
potami, fearing that now they themselves would suffer the fate
that they had inflicted on defenceless people like the Melians,
yet he omits Cleophon's opposition to Endius' offer pf peace
after the battles of Cyzicus and Arginusae, and his still more
foolish opposition to the comparatively mild conditions first
offered by Sparta during the siege of Athens. Neither does he
^ ii. 4. 29 <l>$ovTiaai Av<rdvdp<^. ' Diod. xiii. 65, 104, 106.

record the failure of Anytus* expedition to relieve Pylos, and the
subsequent trial of that demagogue, when he only escaped
condemnation by bribing his judges, this being, as Diodorus^
tells us, the first known instance of corruption in an Athenian
law court.
It would seem, therefore, that Siever's theory is equally un-
tenable with the others, and that Niebuhr's criticism is quite
justified, that, however Philo-Laconian Xenophon may show
himself in the ^v^ later books, his narrative in bks. i., ii. is quite
impartial.
Later critics' have tried to discover traces of personal
prejudice. Enough has already been said about Lysander,.
Callicratidas, and Pausanias, to dispose of the charge in their
case ; but Xenophon's picture of Alcibiades deserves more
notice. It is true that he passes over some of Alcibiades' most
splendid exploits in a word or two, like his capture of Selybria ^,
his escort of the Eleusinian procession by land, and his success-
ful speeches in defence before the Athenian Senate and the
Assembly. But, on the other hand, he passes still more briefly
over his failure at Andros, his marauding expeditions from
Samos in the winter of 408-407, for which the first complaints
.were brought against him at Athens, and his final disgrace and
loss of his generalship ; and he omits altogether the scandalous
tales which Plutarch and other authorities delight to retail
against him. Moreover, he even enlarges on the favourable
feelings with which far the larger section of the Athenian people
welcomed him on his return, while he dismisses the murmurs of
his enemies against him in a few scarcely intelligible lines ; and
he dwells at some length on the patriotic advice which Alcibiades
gave the careless Athenian generals just before the battle of
Aegospotami, suppressing the fact, which Diodorus* relates,
that the would-be' patriot, was at the same time actuated by
motives of private interest. The defects, therefore, in his picture
of Alcibiades are neither more nor less than those to be found
in his sketches of other persons, like Hermocrates, Callicratidas,
and Conon, with whom he was certainly more in sympathy.
So far then the above examination has brought us only to
* xiii. 64. * Cf. Hertzberg, Alcibiades.
' Cf. Pint. Ale. 30. * xiii. 105.
§ I. COMPOSITION OF THE HELLENIC A. IJ
the negative result, that there is no single key whereby to solve
all the difficulties with which bks. i., ii. abound ; and, indeed,
that many of them admit of no explanation whatever. In some
cases we can perhaps see that Xenophon's fondness for personal
anecdote or interest iii the art of war has led him to narrate
little incidents, in themselves of no importance, at dispropori-
tionate length, but personal feelings either one way or the other
do not help us to account for his omissions. Perhaps the most
obvious theory to explain them is to regard them as due to want
of personal knowledge ; but even on this theory we can see no
particular reason why Xenophon's treatment of events should
be so uneven. For events occurring almost simultaneously at
Athens, on the Hellespont, in Ionia, and elsewhere are related
in one place with unaccountable fulness, in another with
unaccountable brevity ; and no known incidents of his life at all
explain the difference.
Everything, therefore, would seem to point to Breitenbach's
conclusion, hesitating though it is, being the true one, that bks.
i., ii. are an attempt to complete the work of Thucydides, on the
model of which they are manifestly planned, but are themselves
for some reasons, which there is not evidence enough fully to
explain, left unfinished ; and that this want of finish is apparent
both in the defective compilation of the materials, in which so
much has been shown to be wanting ; in the unequal treatment
of the several parts, some of which seem to be only provisionally
introduced; and in the obvious imperfection of the chronological
arrangement, which falls so far short of Thucydides' system.
None the less it remains true, that Xenophon is far the best
and most reliable authority for the last six and a-half years of
the Peloponnesian War, and for the following usurpation of the
Thirty. The orators Andocides, Isocrates, and Lysias, and the
historians Diodorus and Plutarch, when they deal with the
same events, can be used only to supplement, not to correct,
Xenophon's narrative. Andocides and Isocrates indeed agree
with Xenophon in all essentials, except that the latter always
tends to exalt the character of Alcibiades, while Lysias was too
violent a pd.rtisan of the democracy, and too much implicated in
the events of the time for his authority to be preferred above
that of Xenophon — e.g. in the picture he draws of Theramenes.
B
1 8 INTRODUCTION.
«
Diodorus seems to have followed Theopompus for his history
of the years 41 1-404, and Ephorus for that of the years 404-403.
Hence so long as he follows the former, who, having been exiled
from Chios for his support of Sparta, was a violent oligarch and
philo-Laconian, his narrative is intensely hostile to the Athenian
democracy. Only in the bare facts is there any agreement
between him and Xenophon, and even in these there are most
extraordinary discrepancies, many of them owing to Diodorus'
own carelessness in matters of chronology, which is so great that
he often mixes up the events of different years ^. At Athens Alci-
biades and Theramenes are his heroes, and are painted in the
brightest colours. Every incident tending to glorify Sparta and
the Spartan constitution is exaggerated. Every incident to the
contrary is carefully softened down or altogether suppressed.
Ephorus, on the other hand, was an impartial and truth-loving
historian, and appears himself to have made considerable use of
Xenophon's writings ; and so with the change of the authority
there is an evident change in the tone of Diodorus' narratives.
Plutarch, in his Lives of Alcibiades and Lysander, seems to
have used both Ephorus and Theopompus, the former by
preference. But his purpose being biographical, he aims rather
to bring out the personal characteristics of his heroes by intro-
ducing striking stories and anecdotes than to give a consecutive
account of a series of events. Still his two biographies are often
useful for filling up some of the worst gaps in Xenophon's
narrative : though wherever they differ in their accounts of the
same events, Xenophon is always to be preferred.
If, therefore, it is in contrast with Thucydides' unequalled
history of the first twenty and a-half years of the Peloponnesian
War, that Xenophon's account of its conclusion in Hellenics i., ii.
appears so meagre and unsatisfactory, it is in contrast with
Diodorus and Plutarch that we are led to appreciate his merits.
The later historian cares for history not for its own sake, but as
an * opus oratorium * in which he can display his own surprising
talents. The biographer, however charming and artistic the
result, evidently uses the facts of history only * to point a moral
and adorn a tale.' Xenophon alone by his simple and unvar-

nished style, by his evident impartiality and love of truth, even
too by the very defects, which, however they may mar and
disfigure his narrative, yet by their wholly fortuitous and
unaccountable occiu-rence, tend rather to confirm its truth —
leaves upon the mind of his reader the impression that his
history, so far as it goes, is a history of facts.

0,0 INTRODUCTION.
In the first two books of the Hellenica we find that not
only is the beginning of each year of the war marked by
such phrases as t© de aXXa> crei, tov iiriovTOS erovs, apxoficvov
capos^, (where Xenophon is evidently following the system
of Thucydides *), but in several passages additional accuracy
is apparently given by the mention of Olympiads, the year
of the war, or the names of the eponymous archons and ephors,
and also by the notice of contemporary events in Persia and
Sicily ^ But by all recent commentators such passages have
been suspected, and in most cases with justice, to be inter-
polations.
^ It is true that both Herodotus and Thucydides occasionally
give the names of Olympic victors : but Herodotus sometimes
simply styles a man 'OXvfimovUijs * as a general mark of distinc-
tion without specifying any particular victory, and sometimes
relates the victories, whether in the chariot race ^, pentathlum ®,
or pancratium '^, as incidents in the lives of eminent men like
Miltiades the Athenian or Demaratus the Spartan ; but in no
case does he use an Olympiad to fix a date. Thucydides once ^
like Herodotus uses the epithet *0\vfxmovLKrj5 as the mark of a
distinguished man : twice ^ however he gives the name of the
victor to help fix the date, in the first instance- not specifying
the contest, in the second taking the name of the victor in the
pancratium ; but in both instances the celebration of the
Olympic festival has an intimate connection with his general
history of the war, and is not introduced merely as a chrono-
logical datum. Moreover, Polybius^® expressly states that
Timaeus, the Sicilian historian, (flor. 264 B.C.) was the first
to use the Olympiad as a chronological era, for which, however,
the list of the victors in the less famous stadium or foot-race
was chosen. Nevertheless, in i. 2. i the 23rd year of the war
is called the 93rd Olympiad (really it was the third year of the
92nd) : and in ii. 3. i the Olympiad is denoted by the name of
the victor in the stadium.

Again, Herodotus ^ once mentions the name of the eponymous
archon at Athens to fix the date of one particular event, the
invasion of Attica by the Persians ; and Thucydides * sometimes
gives the archon, ephor, and even the priestess of the Arg^ve
Hera, to mark some unusual occurrence ; but neither of them
ever use these official lists to distinguish successive years.
Further, in two passages the names given in the text of the
Hellenica are incorrect : for in ii. 3. 9, 10, a continuous list of
twenty-nine ephors appears (probably inserted by a later hand),
in which Pantacles immediately precedes Pityas, whereas Xeno-
phon makes two whole years, if not three, elapse between i. 3. i
and i. 6. i, where Pantacles and Pityas are respectively men-
tioned, to mark the beginning of the years ' ; and exactly the
same mistake is made with the archons. Evidently therefore
the interpolator must have had before him complete lists of the .
ephors and archons, must have known the right names for the
year 404, and then reckoned backwards from that year, but
unfortunately overlooked the beginning of a new year in i. 4. 2,
where no magistrates are mentioned, and also of the year the
beginning of which Xenophon has omitted to mark at all. Of
this however more below.
In three passages * the numbers of the years of the Pelopon-
nesian War occur. In the first the number 22 is right, and
evidently depends on a comparison with Thuc. viii. 60, 109.
The interpolator here, however, noticed the apxofjJvov tov tapos
of i. 4. 2, though in that passage he did not insert the year of the
war ; so that, when Xenophon again resumes in i. 6. i with a
T^ 3' €m6vTi ?Tet, he says that twenty-four years of warfare were
now over. Really, however, the Peloponnesian War had con-
tinued for twenty-five years ; and the interpolator was betrayed
into this mistake, because Xenophon narrates the events of one
year (407-406) ° without marking its beginning at alL So again
in the third passage, instead of twenty-five years, it should be
twenty-six. Thus the interpolator makes the war down to the
surrender of Athens in the spring of 404 last only twenty-six

•
years, whereas Thucydides^ distinctly states that it lasted almost
exactly twenty-seven years, April 431 to April 404 '.
As for the notices of Persian and Sicilian history, though it is
certain that the chronology of the Hellenica does not at all agree
with that in Diodorus Siculus, yet, as that author in well-known
cases is so exceedingly inexact in his dates, this disagreement does
not amount to much of an argument against them. The pas-
sages on Sicilian history, however, seem to be inconsistent with
each other. For in i. i. 37 Hannibal is said in 411 B.c. to
have captured the cities of Selinus. and Himera ; whereas ia
i. 2. 8, 10, 12 some Selinuntine ships are still found in 410 in the
Aegean, acting as Peloponnesian allies, although Diodorus
specially states' that they were recalled to Sipily before the
capture of the city. Again, the capture of Acragas is related
twice over, once as happening in the year 407, and the second
time as happening in 405. Diodorus puts it in the year 406.
There is a similar inconsistency in one of the two references to
Persian history. For in ii. i. 8, 9 an event is assigned to the
year 406, which it appears from Diodorus could only have hap-
pened in the year 405. The other reference, i. 2. 19, states a
mere fact, which there is no means of confirming or denying.
Inaccuracies of this kind, however, in a work left in so unfinished
a state as bks. i. ii. of the Hellenica, hardly constitute a suffi-
cient reason for bracketing them as spurious, especially when it
is remembered that it was the custom of Thucydides, on whose
system these books are evidently modelled, to insert at the end
of each six months of his narrative such events as owing e.g. to
their occurring in a different scene of the war, he could not
weave into the main thread of his history.
We are left, therefore, for our genuine chronological data,
only with the phrases toO 8' imovros ctovs k,t.\, which serve to
mark the beginnings of the successive years of the war, supple-
mented occasionally by additional marks of time like dpxpfiepov
Xfifi&vos, ;^fi/ia)y fViffi k.t.X. ; and here we are met by a fresh
difficulty. For Xenophon continues Thucydides from the point
where he breaks off in his narrative of the 21st year of the war
' V. 30, 26. « For the list of ephors in ii. 3. 9, 10, cf. note ad loc.
• xiii. 61.
§ 2. CHRONOLOGY. 23
in 41 1 B. c. Since the war ended in May 404, there ought to be
seven such notices of the beginning of a new year : as a matter
of fact, Xenophon gives only six ; somewhere or other therefore
he has left one out, and the question arises, at what point ?
Dodwell, Schneider, and Weiske would begin a new year at
i. I. II. But the events that Xenophon narrates between §§ 11
and yj ar^ all closely connected with each other, as well as by
definite inarks of time (cf. § 27 ct 5"e rep xpoi/a> Tovra>, § 32 Kara tov
Kcupov TouToi/), and cannot well be spaced over a whole year.
Herbst and others put the beginning of 407 B.C. at i. 4. 8, but in
that case it is hard to discover what were the movements of Alci-
biades between the capture of Byzantium in 409 B. c. (cf. i. 3.
21) and his arrival at Samos (i. 4. 8) in 407, and how he could
have ventured to return to Athens, if he had known of the
intrigues between Cyrus and Lysander, which began in 408 B. c,
and which they took such careful measures to conceal (i. 4. 1-8).
It is better, therefore, with Breitenbach ^, to suppose the
omission to occur at i. 5. 11. For in i. 4. 21-23 Xenophon has
brought down his narrative of Alcibiades' doings in the winter
of 408-407 to his operations round Samos as his headquarters,
which may very well have lasted till March or April 467. And
in i. 5. i-io he tells us how Lysander, with the assistance of
Cyrus, was occupied in collecting and fitting out a new Pelopon-
nesian fleet, for which the winter months would be specially
appropriate. Then having brought down his narrative of the
movements on either side to the same point of time, he resumes
at § 1 1 his account of their mutual operations against each
other, which would naturally show fresh activity at the beginning
of spring.
No sooner has Xenophon concluded the history of the Pelo-
ponnesian War with the story of the surrender of Athens, than
he abandons Thucydides' system of chronology altogether. He
does indeed mark the beginning of the year 404-403 with a t^
d' iiriovTi €T€i^, but we are left to gather the respective times of
the next year and a-half s events from the accidental mention of
an eclipse (ii. 3. 4), of the end of summer (ii. 3. 9), of snow (ii. 4. 3),
of the eight months' duration of the rule of the Thirty (ii. 3. 21),

24 INTRODUCTION.
and of ripe fruit (ii. 4. 25). In fact, in this section of the
book, Xenophon begins the practice, which he consistently
follows throughout the rest of the Hellenica, of grouping events
together, not according to the times at which they happened,
but according to their causal connection.
§ 3. Internal History of Athens, 411-403 b,c.
After the expulsion of the Four Hundred in the spring of
1 j^y 411^ 411 B.C. the Athenian constitution became a modi-
B.O. to June fied democracy, which Thucydides ' declares to
410 B.C. have been the best government that the Athenians
eyer enjoyed within his memory. The two leading features were
the abolition of all paid offices of whatever kind, and the limitation
of the full citizenship to such Athenians as could furnish them-
selves with arms at their own expense. It was thus the nearest
approach that we read of in Greek history to Aristotle's ideal
TToXiTtm', or model democracy, being based chiefly on the
middle class, and combining in itself the best elements of
oligarchy and democracy.
But though this constitution had already received* the ap-
proval of Alcibiades, and the Assembly had actually passed
a decree for his recall, the breach still remained open between
the Athenians in the city and the Athenians on board the fleet.
The latter could not have been less than 10,000 in nimiber,
and had just unmistakeably shown their democratical zeal in
suppressing the simultaneous conspiracy of the oligarchical
party in their midst ^ : in fact, it was not until the return of
Alcibiades three years later, in 408, that this breach was finally
healed. Till then the city and the fleet were almost as much
separated as two independent states ; the city annually elected
the usual number of ten generals ; the fleet still retained at it«
head Alcibiades, Thrasybulus, Thrasyllus, and apparently the

other generals whom they had chosen at the time of the revo-
lution^. Theramenes and Thrasyllus alone acted as a sort of
go-betweens : for the former, being sent out by the city in 41 1 to
try to prevent the Boeotians and Euboeans from building a
dam across the Euripus, and failing in that object, finally joined
Alcibiades at the Hellespont, and did not return to Athens till
three years afterwards : while the latter, after the victory at
Abydos in the .autumn of 411, was despatched to Athens for
reinforcements.
When at last these two divisions of the Athenian peqple
again united, the union was due on the one side to a return
,at Athens, more or less complete, to the old extreme form of
democracy, and on the other to the extraordinary successes
of the pavTiKos Bx^os under the command of Alcibiades. It is
these changes and their connection with each other that must
now be traced.
At the same time that the Four Hundred had been deposed,
Thucydides tells us ^, a board of Nomothetae had been appointed
with the object, if we may argue from the analogous appointment
after the suppression of the Thirty in 403 ', of adapting 'the old
Solonian laws to the new constitution. Four months were
assigned them for their work. But it would appear that nothing
was really done : for six years afterwards Nicomachus, one of
their number and called avaypa(f>cvs rS>v vo/jlcop*, had not yet
sent in an account of his office, and c. 399 B;C. he was accused
of having taken bribes to illegally alter and otherwise tamper
with the special laws assigned to him for revision ''. Thus the
new constitution was never really put upon a permanent legal
footing, and party feeling, which had shown itself in the con-
demnation of the most extreme of the oligarchical leaders, like
Antiphon and Archeptolemus, was still too much excited to
allow things to remain long as they were. In the early autumn
of 41 1 B.C. * the Athenians at home had been greatly encouraged
by the news of their partial success at Cyno'ssema. In the
winter the general Thrasyllus, who had been one of the demo-
cratical leaders at Samos, had arrived at Athens with the

tidings of a fresh victory at Abydos, and with a request for
July 410 reinforcements for the fleet. And in the spring
B.C. to June of 410 B.C. Alcibiades totally annihilated the
409 B.C. Peloponnesian fleet under Mindarus at Cyzicus.
The completeness vof his victory was vivirfly confirmed by the
despatch written by Hippocrates, Mindarus' secretary, to the
Spartan government for immediate help, which was accidentally
captured and brought to Athens.
Once more the democratical party became active and powerful.
For when the Spartans *, in dismay at their defeat, sent Endius
at the head of an embassy to offer as terms of peace, that both
parties should accept the status quo, that the Peloponnesians
would withdraw their garrison from Decelea, if the Athenians
would withdraw theirs from Pylos, and that an exchange of
prisoners should be arranged, the Assembly, notwithstanding
the efforts of the imeiKearaToif voted their rejection on the
motion of the demagogue Cleophon. *The Athenians,' says
Diodorus, 'excited by their recent good fortune, thought that
with their forces under the leadership of Alcibiades they would
soon recover their old supremacy.'
Nor were their hopes entirely unfounded; for tl^e victory
at Cyzicus meant much more than the annihilation of the
Peloponnesian fleet. It meant relief from the financial distress,
which had prevailed at Athens ever since the Sicilian disaster,
and more especially since the loss of Euboea. For immediately
after the battle Alcibiades set up a custom house on the Bos-
porus to exact toll from all passing ships; once again some
of the Hellespontine and Thracian cities began to pay tribute ;
and once again the com ships sailed as of old into Piraeus ^
Money had been the basis of the Periclean democracy, and
now money opened the way for a return to it. The fleet at the
Hellespont maintained itself by marauding expeditions, and cost
the home government nothing. Thus the President of the Trea-
sury for the year was able to devote as much as twenty-three
talents towards the expenses of certain sacrifices and festivals
and of the dia^eXia^f or Theoric fund, which was distributed
among the poorer citizens to enable them to attend the theatre
and shows, and which seems to have been the first of the

distributions of public money to be restored. As the revenue
continued to improve, the old system of payment for all offices
little by little came once more into force, though the several
dates of its reinstitution cannot be ascertained. Aristophanes
in the Frogs ^, which was exhibited in 405 B.C., complains of
the huge sums swallowed up by the hiKavTiKo^ fiiados, showing
that by that time the change was complete.
There is equal difficulty in tracing the steps, whereby the
restrictions on citizenship imposed after the dissolution of the
Four Hundred, were gradually removed. Payment for public
services evidently meant the readmission of the poorer citizens
to the full discharge of all civic duties. But the means whereby
this was brought about are unknown. All we can say is that
Xenophon describes the Athenians as meeting for the trial of
the generals after Arginusae in 406 B.C., Trdvras Kara ^vXar,
as if by that time none were excluded from the Assembly.
One constitutional change can however be referred with cer-
tainty to this year on the authority of the historian Philochorus^
The Senators, like the dicasts, henceforward were to sit in ten
divisions denoted by the first ten letters of the alphabet. The
reason of this measure is not stated, but in all probability it was
directed against the members of the oligarchical clubs ', who
were wont to sit together, and thus by their united action to
acquire an influence totally disproportionate to their numbers *.
Gilbert' has ingeniously conjectured, that these democratical
changes were carried through by a board of (7vyypa<^f ir, on the
ground that Demophantus, the proposer of a decree of which
more will be said hereafter, cweypayfrcVf and not, as usual, fin^v ;
and that an inscription* of this year mentions o-uyypac^flr, though
it does not explain the nature of their office ; and further that on
the analogy of Thucydides (viii. 67), when Pisander proposed to
appoint ten ^vyypa^fls avroKparopes and of Xenophon (Hell,

a8 INTRODUCTION,
<ruyypa\^ov<n, it may very well be argued that they were extra-
ordinary magistrates chosen to draw up a new constitution,
and this time in a democratical direction.
Two documents of this year illustrate still farther the growing
power of the democrats. The first is the above-mentioned
Psephism of Demophantus, preserved in Andocides' speech
on the Mysteries^, which decreed that all Athenians, both in
the city and in the fleet, should swear to hold as a public
enemy, who might lawfully be put to death, any one who should
attempt to overthrow the democracy, or who should hold any
office after the democracy had been overthrown. This oath
was to be taken just before the Great Dionysia in the spring
of 409 B. c. and finds its parallel in the oath sworn to by the Athe-
nian democrats at Samos in 41 1 B.C.' The second is a psephism
proposed by Erasinides ^, who was afterwards one of the generals
at the battle of Arginusae, that Thrasybulus *, one of the assas-
sins of the oligarch Phrynichus, should be rewarded with a
golden crown and the gift of citizenship, and that a proclamation
to that effect should be made at the same Dionysia. Moreover
at the same time the prosecutions against those implicated in
the conspiracy of the Four Hundred, which had been suffered
to lapse after the punishment of the worst offenders, seem to
have been revived, and to have gone on with more or less
vigour until the Amnesty of Patroclides in 405 B.C. Not only
were individuals attacked, but whole classes, like the soldiers
who had supported the Four Hundred, were punished with
partial disfranchisement**, so that e.g. it was made unlawful
for them to speak in the Assembly, or to become members of
the Senate. Lysias • says, that it was these prosecutions that
ruined the democracy ; for that numerous sycbphants accused
innocent persons for the sake of their wealth, while they left
the guilty untouched, if only they were sufficiently bribed.
Meanwhile Alcibiades had pursued a career of unbroken

success on the Hellespont and Bosporus. In the summer
of 410 he had been joined by Thrasyllus at the Hellespont
with a considerable reinforcement from Athens, and the two
generals combined to defeat the satrap Phamabazus> first at
Abydos, and then at Chalcedon, after which he was reduced
to come to terms and to submit to see Chalcedon once more
pay tribute to Athens. These successes were jTiiy409
quickly followed by the capture of Selybria and B.C. to June
Byzantium. On the other side the Athenians *0S B.C.
had indeed to set the loss of Pylos in Messenia, and of Nisaea,
the port of Megara — losses serious in themselves, but with
little effect upon the revenue. Anytus, the demagogue, who
had been despatched to relieve the former place was, on his
return, accused of treachery, and only escaped, it was said,
by bribing his judges ^ In the autumn of 409 B.C., therefore,
Athens had regained the whole of the Thracian and Hellespon-
tine provinces of her old empire, besides many of the islands
in the northern Aegean. The Peloponnesian fleet had been
annihilated. Pharnabazus, who had so long and so ably sup-
ported the Spartan cause, had been forced to consent to an
armistice, and to promise a safe escort for an Athenian embassy
to the Persian King. And all this had been mainly due to
the courage and capacity of a single man, and him an exile ;
for Alcibiades had never availed himself of the permission to
return home granted him in 411 B.c.^ So far indeed he had
acted almost as a sovereign prince. Much still however re-
mained to be done : Euboea and most of Ionia were still in
open revolt. Before attempting their reconquest, Alcibiades
seems now to have felt that a return to Athens was necessary
for him, if ever there was to be a complete reunion between
the city and the army. In the spring of 408, therefore, he
sailed with all his ships to Samos : thence he despatched his
friends and colleagues Thrasyllus and Theramenes to Piraeus
with all the spoils of war and captured vessels to prepare the
way for his reception, while he himself sailed with the remainder
of the fleet to Caria, to collect still more money. The Athenians
at home were by this time just as ready on their side to welcome
him, and even before the arrival of Thrasyllus and Theramenes

30 INTRODUCTION.
had chosen among the generals for the following year, Alci-
hiades, Thrasybulus, and Conon. The news of his election
reached Alcibiades at Gythium in" Laconia, whither he had
sailed from Caria, and he at once set out for Piraeus, which
he entered on the day of the Plynteria (June), when the shrine
of the goddess Athena was covered with a veil. Arrived in
the harbour, even now he hesitated to land, so suspicious was
he of the real feelings of the people towards him; and it
was not until he had seen Euryptolemus and other relatives
among the crowd that had assembled to meet him, that he
ventured to set foot on shore. Then his partizans closed round
him so as to form a sort of body-guard, and escorted him in
their midst in triumphal procession from Piraeus to Athens.
In the city opinion was still much divided ^ : some said, that
he had been the victim of the intrigues of his enemies, who
had plotted against him and procured his exile in order to make
room for their own ambitious schemes ; others maintained that
he had been the real cause of all the Athenian misfortunes in
the past, and would be jusf as dangerous in the future.
But for the moment Alcibiades, with his marvellous person-
ality, carried all before him. The effect of his speeches in his
own defence before the senate and assembly^, was such that
hone dared raise a voice against him. It was at once decreed,
that the column set up to record his condemnation in 415 B.C.
should be cast into the sea, that his goods should be restored to
him, and that the curse which the Eumolpidae had pronounced
July 408 against him should be recalled. He himself was
B.C. to June proclaimed a-TpaTrjyos avTOKparoip by sea and land,
407 B.C. as the only man able to restore Athens to her
former power. The rich hoped to find in him a strong opponent
to the ever-increasing encroachments of the extreme democrats.
The poor saw in him a champion, who would relieve them of
their poverty, and whom they would be glad to support, even
though he should assume to himself the rights of sovereign
power and make himself tyrant of Athens '. For the moment
his enemies were silenced, although they continued, as events
soon showed, as active as ever in their intrigues against him.

The demagogues seem to have been especially bitter, so com-
pletely were they overshadowed in the eyes of the people by
their new rival for popular favour.
It was ominous too that Theodorus the high priest, in re-
moving the. old curse had said, that for his part he had never
denounced any curse against him, if he had done no injury
to the commonwealth : while many of the pious and superstitious
noted with foreboding, that Alcibiades had landed on the Plyn-
teria, the unluckiest day in the whole year.
Meanwhile Alcibiades was occupied in fitting out a new fleet
of 100 vessels, with the money that he had himself brought into
the treasury. He chose Adimantus and Aristocrates, apparently
out of the already elected generals for the year, to be his
colleagues in the command ^. But before he sailed, hoping once
for all to quiet the religious fears of the Athenians, as well as
to assure them of his military prowess, he escorted with all
his forces the annual procession along the Sacred Way to
Eleusis, which ever since the fortification of Decelea by the
Peloponnesians, had been obliged to go by sea. King Agis now
venturing to offer no opposition.
At last in October all was ready for his departure, for which
none were more eager than his enemies ; some, according t;o
Plutarch, because they feared that he would soon make himself
tyrant ; others, we may certainly suppose, because they wanted a
clear field left them in which to prosecute 'their own schemes.
But during the four months that Alcibiades had stayed in
Athens, an entire change had come over the aspect of affairs
in Asia. The able and energetic Lysander had succeeded
'the incapable Cratesippidas as admiral of the Spartan fleet ;
and Cyrus, the younger son of King Darius, had taken the
place of the vacillating Tissaphemes as Satrap of Sardis, and
had announced his intention of supporting the Peloponnesians
with money and by all means in his power, even persuading
Phamabazus, notwithstanding his solemn promises, to hinder
the Athenian envoys from proceeding to the Persain coast ^
Events soon proved the wisdom of Alcibiades* enemies in
hastening his departure. His attack on the little island of
Andros was only partially successful. Arrived at Samos, he
^ XcD. Hell. i. 4. 23 ; JDiod. xiii. 69. ^ i. 4, 7.
32 INTRODUCTION.
tried in vain to draw Lysander out of the harbour at Ephesus
to a general engagement. His overtures to Cyrus through the
mouthpiece of Tissaphemes were rejected with scorn. Money
and supplies soon ran short, and he was obliged to scour the
neighbouring coasts on marauding expeditions, making in his
requisitions, it would seem, but little distinction between friend
and foe. To crown all, his lieutenant Antiochus, in defiance
of his strict orders, ventured on a general engagement during his
absence at Phocaea, and suffered a. defeat at Notium ; and do
what he could, Alcibiades could not induce Lysander to give him
an opportunity for revenge. Disappointed in their unreasonable
expectations of a speedy conquest of Chios and even of all
Ionia, the Athenians both at home and on board the fleet
were now as vehement in their denunciations of Alcibiades
as but shortly before they had been in his praises. All com-
plaints against his conduct were eagerly listened to ; and when
Thrasybulus, the son of Thrason, (not to be confused with the
more famous Thrasybulus, the general), returned from the camp
to Athens \ and accused him of maladministration, of treason-
able intrigues with Persia and the Peloponnesians, and of
building forts of his own, like a sovereign prince, in Thrace ^
tjie people at once suspended Alcibiades from his command,
ordered his colleague Condn to take his place, and in the
annual elections, which happened to occur just at the same
time, chose ten new generals, among whom Alcibiades was no
longer one '. Alcibiades himself, finding that he was equally
unpopular with his own troops, did not wait to hear the result
of the accusations against him at home, but retired to his forts
in the Thracian Chersonese.
At this juncture democrats of all shades seem to have com-
July 407 bined to support the constitution, if we may judge
B.C. to June from the list of the new generals : for among
406 B.C. them Thrasyllus, Leon, and Diomedon had all
taken a prominent part in the counter movement against

the oligafcbs at Samos, in 411 6.c.^ ; Erasinides^ had pro-
posed the decree to crown the assassin of Phrynichus
the oligarch ; Pericles was the son of the great Pericles and
Aspasia ; while Conon seems rather to have succeded Nidas in*
the leadership of the more moderate party. The year was one
of great financial distress, due to the difficulty of maintaining
Conon's large fleet of 100 vessels, and to the Peloponnesians
under the admiral Callicratidas once more taking the offensive
by sea, and so cutting off the sources of Athenian revenue. To
meet the deficiency all the gold in the Acropolis was coined
into money'. Still, when the news reached Athens that Conon
with all his fleet was blockaded at Mitylene, within thirty days
the Athenians fitted out a fleet, of 1 10 vessels, making all the
inhabitants of Attica, rich and poor, slave and free, serve alike
on board. About July, 406, the two fleets met off the islands of
Arginusae, and the Athenians under the command of eight of
their ten generals gained a complete victory over the Pelopon-
nesians, Callicratidas himself perishing in the fight. In the
ordinary course of things such a victory would have sufficed to
insure for some time the political power of the successful
generals. But unfortunately in the moment of victory the generals
had neglected both to rescue the survivors clinging to the wrecks
of the vessels, which had been disabled in the battle, and to
bury the corpses of the dead. The news of this neglect excited
great indignation among the Athenians at home, j^y 40^
A summons was immediately issued for their B.C. to June
recall. Thereupon two of their number retired ^^^ ^•^- *
into voluntary exile : the remaining six returned to Athens,
were hastily condemned almost without any form of trial, and
all alike executed.
Although there seems to be no evidence for supposing the
condemnation of the generals to have been due to an oligar-
chical conspiracy, its effect, no doubt, was to produce chaos once
more among the political parties at Athens. Little indeed can
be inferred from the list of the new generals, as they must have
been elected just before the battle of Arginusae, which was
apparently fought in June, while the trial cannot have taken

place till November. The democrats at any rate still clung to
their old war policy ; and Cleophon was again successful in
procuring the rejection of a peace, which the Lacedaemonians
offered about this time on the same terms as before ' — 2l fact
which shows that the power oif the demagogues was still as
great as ever. Many, on the other hand, began to repent of
their recent dismissal of Alcibiades, and even to advocate his
immediate recall*. The financial distress was greater than
ever, and to meet it an extraordinary board of magistrates,
called Poristae', seems to have been appointed to consider ways
and means. The fieet at Samos, paralyzed by the proceedings
taken against its late generals at Athens, never followed up the
results of its victory, though now commanded by the skilful
Conon ; and was soon unable to support itself by marauding
expeditions, being entirely occupied in watching the move-
ments of the enem/s fleet. For the Peloponnesians, after their
disaster, had procured from the Spartan government the re-
storation of Lysander to the command ; and he in the spring
of 405 had completely restored its efficiency, being backed up,
as before, by Persian gold.
It was probably about this time that the Athenians began to
repent of their harsh treatment of the generals, who had won
for them the victory of Arginusae : for in the spring elections
Theramenes, who had taken the leading part in the prosecu-
tion, was rejected on the boKifiaa-ia after he had been actually
chosen general, because he did not seem to be ct/vovr rS
ir\r}6€i * ; and at the same time complaints seem to have been
brought before the assembly against those individuals, especially
Callixenus, who had deceived the people in the triaL The
assembly listened favourably to the complaints, and decreed
that the persons accused should be bound over to stand
their trial, but amid the internal confusions of the following
year they all escaped. It is remarkable that Theramenes was
not included in the accusation.

Probably just about the time that the newly elected generals
entered upon their office, of whom only Strom- j^y 405
bichides, Dionysodorus, and Calliades are known B.O. to June
by name, all three being stout democrats, the *^* B-^-
tidings' of the annihilation of the fleet at Aegospotami must have
reached Athens \ The citizens were at first stunned by the
news, reflecting that at last the misery that they had inflicted .
on less powerful states, was about to. return on their own
heads \ But next day the assembly met and resolved to block
up two of the three harbours at Piraeus, and to prepare
the city for a siege. Really little could be done : for the
Athenians had no fleet, and the com supply was entirely cut off"
now that the Hellespont, as well as Euboea, was lost, and the
Peloponnesians still harried the country from Decelea. Five
months, however, passed before the appearance of the dreaded
Peloponnesian fleet. Lysander was employed in the interval in
receiving the submission of the Athenian allies, and in sending
all the Athenian citizens and cleruchs, whom he captured, back
to Athens in order to increase the number of mouths to be fed on
the ever diminishing supply of com. At last in November he ap-
peared and blockaded Piraeus at the same time, that the two
Spartan kings Agis and Pausanias advanced with the entire Pelo-
ponnesian forces close up to the city walls. Within the city, as a
last despairing measure, the democrats carried a proposal made
by Patroclides to grant an amnesty to all disfranchised citizens,
more especially those who had suflered partial disfranchise-
ment for the part they had taken in the Revolution of the Four
Hundred ^ The oligarchs, who saw that their day of power
would soon and certainly come with the surrender of the city,
seem at the time to have remained quiet. But the forces that
the Athenians could muster, even with the citizens all thus
united, were so obviously incapable of oflering a successful
resistance, that so early as December, when the corn supply
had completely failed, envoys were sent to Agis with offers of
peace on condition that the Athenians became allies of the

to July).

Lacedaemonians, and retained Piraeiis and the Long Walls.
Agis referred the envoys to the Ephors at Sparta, who alone,
he said, had powers to conclude a treaty. But when they
peached Sellasia on the Lacedaemonian frontier, the Ephors,
on hearing the terms they had to offer, sent them back with an
injunction not to return until the Athenians had come to a
better decision. It appears however from the sequel of Xeno-
phon's narrative^, that they were at the same time informed,
that a peace might be concluded if the Athenians would con-
sent to the demolition of ten stadia of their Long Walls. For,
when on their return the envoys announced before the Senate
the result of their mission, Archestratus was arrested for
proposing submission to this condition, and at the same time
Cleophon carried a decree in the Assembly forbidding any
such proposal for the future on pain of death ^
At this crisis Theramenes came forward and promised, that
if the people would send him to Lysander, he would at least
procure certain information as to whether in requiring the
demolition of the Long Walls the Lacedaemonians meant the
utter enslavement of Athens, or only a guarantee of Athenian
good faith. Theramenes was accordingly despatched, but in-
stead of returning at once with the necessary information, he
stayed with Lysander for more than three months, waiting for
the moment when the Athenians would be compelled by famine
to accept any terms whatsoever. In the fourth month he
returned, saying that he had been detained by Lysander, who
had at last advised him to apply to the Ephors, as they alone
had power to conclude a peace. Meantime Cleophon had been
put to death on a false charge of failure in his military duties ',
brought against him by the oligarchical conspirators, who were
once again secretly active : and now hunger silenced all further
opposition. Theramenes therefore and nine others were chosen
to go to Sparta as ambassadors with full powers. At Sellasia
the ten new ambassadors were again stopped by the Ephors;
but when they said that they were invested with full powers,
they were invited to attend a conference of the Peloponnesian
confederates at Sparta, which had been summoned to consider
^ it. 2. 14, 15. ' Lysias xiil. 8 ; Aeschin. F. L. 76.

the fate of Athens. Here the Thebans and Corinthians ad-
vocated the total extirpation of the Athenian name ; but the
Lacedaemonians, guided, it would appear ', rather by motives
of self-interest than the patriotic, sentiments, which they openly
professed, refused to allow a city, which had wrought so much
for Greek freedom in the past, to be wiped out of the map of
Greece, and decided to offer terms, far harder indeed than
those offered four months earlier, but reasonable under the
circiunstances. The terms were to be that the Athenians
should demolish their Long Walls and their arsenal at Piraeus,
that they should resign all their foreign possessions, and confine
themselves to their Attic territory, that they should readmit
all their exiles, and become the allies of Sparta, recognizing the
same friends and enemies and following her leadership by land
and sea. The number of ships, which they were to be allowed
to keep, was left to the discretion of Lysander ^.
The day after their return to Athens, Theramenes, as spokes-
man of the ambassadors, recited the Lacedaemonian conditions,
and proposed their acceptance. Even now a few, headed by
Cleomenes, one of the younger demagogues, raised some op-
position, but the prevailing distress was too great for any
farther delay ^ The peace was accepted, and on the i6th of
Munychion (c April) Lysander, coming from Samos, sailed
into Piraeus along with many of the Athenian exiles. All the
ships left in the dockyards were handed over to him, save
twelve, which he permitted the Athenians to retain. Then his
troops occupied the fortifications, and began the destruction of
Piraeus and the Long Walls.
Thus ended the Peloponnesian War almost exactly twenty-
seven years after its first outbreak in April 431 B.C.
§ 4. The Trial of the Generals after Arqinusae.
For this incident in Athenian history Xenophon, as being
himself contemporary with the event, is undoubtedly the chief
and the best authority. His account seems to be a simple and

58 INTRODUCTION.
impartial statement of the facts of the trial, and the points of
obscurity afe apparently due, not to any wilful perversions, but ta
omissions as to questions of fact and of law, which it is difficult
to supplement from any other sources. Diodorus (flor. 15 B.C.)
gives only a meagre narrative of the trial, based on Theopompus
(flor. 333 B. c), and evidently here, as in other passages, holds a
brief in favour of Theramenes, though he condemns the treatment
of the generals. Aristophanes' Frogs, exhibited in the year 405
B. C, shows us somewhat of the prevailing feeling at the time in
Athens, and more especially as to the part played by Thera-
menes, which would seem to have incurred the general dis-
pleasure of the people. Plato (Apology, c. 32) and Xenophon
(Memorabilia, i. i. 18, iv. 4. 2) more fully describe the bold
resistance offered by Socrates to the unconstitutional demands
of the Assembly. It may therefore be gathered that the whole
literary opinion of the day strongly disapproved the condemna-
tion of the generals.
In his own narrative (i. 6) Xenophon gives a very brief
summary of events. In the battle at Arginusae the Athenians,
he tells us, lost twenty-five ships, crews and all, except a few
survivors, who made their way to shore. The generals in
command had ordered the trierarchs Theramenes and Thrasy-
bulus and some of the taxiarchs, with forty-seven ships,
to rescue those still clinging to the wrecks, while they
themselves sailed to Mytilene against Eteonicus. But a great
storm ^ arose and prevented the rescue, and also, it wquld seem,
their own passage across to Mytilene. Euryptolemus, however,,
in the course of his speech '^ adds several details. Immediately
^ Grote (vii. 430) points out that immediately after the battle the
Pelopomiesian despatch boat brought the news of Callicratidas* defeat to
Eteonicus at Mytilene, apparently without any difficulty, although its
course was N.W. ; and that afterwards the storm was not sufficient to
stop the same boat from sailing out of the harbour and in again once
more, nor yet to prevent Eteonicus' fleet from sailing S.W. to Chios : in
fact the wind was ovpios, which means not * fair,* but 'favourable*:
though it is true that Conon at the same time thought it more prudent to
wait till the wind was cvStatrepos before he started in pursuit. Probably
therefore it blew a strong gale from the N. or N.E. Cf. Theramenes'
speech (ii. 3. 35) and Diodorus (xiii. 100).
« i. 7. 17, 29.
§ 4. TRIAL OF THE GENERALS. 39
after the battle, he says, the Athenian fleet returned to the
Arginusae islands, and there the generals held a council of war.
Diomedon wished to rescue the survivors on the wrecks, Erasi-
nides to sail at once against the enemy : but Thrasyllus pointed
out that both objects might be effected by leaving forty-seven
ships under the command of the trierarchs Theramenes and
Thrasybulus, and of other subordinate officers, to look after the
twelve disabled vessels [thirteen of them must therefore have
sunk in the interval, cf. 6. 34], while they themselves sailed
with the rest of the fleet against Eteonicus at Mytilene. They
accordingly tried, he adds, to sail (§ 31, cttXcov), but the storm
prevented the rescue. Diodorus (xiii. 100) here makes an im-
portant addition : the sailors of the forty-seven ships refused to
work hid T« T^v €K Trjs fid\r)s KaKoirddeuiv Kal dta t6 fi4y€6os tS>v
KVfAoravy the general result being that the men clinging to the
sinking ships were left to perish.
Afterwards the generals met together to draw up a despatch
to the Athenian senate and people^. Six of them wished to
mention in it the orders given to Theramenes and Thrasybulus ;
but Pericles and Diomedon out of .kindness to the trierarchs
persuaded their colleagues to omit it. Accordingly in the
despatch they merely wrote that the storm had prevented all
rescue \
Xenophon ' goes on to relate that the Athenians at home, as
soon as they heard the news, deprived all the generals of their
command except Conon, and that they chose to be his colleagues
Adimantus and Philocles. Diodorus states in addition jthat
they summoned the generals home with all speed to stand their
1 i. 7. 17.
' Diodorus (xiii. 10 1) gives quite a contradictory account of the
despatch : he makes out that Theramenes and l^hiasybulus had already
returned to Athens before that the generals, suspicious that they might
intrigue against them in the city, addressed a letter vpos t6v S^fjioy to
explain that they had given orders to the trierarchs. Grote*s attempt
(vii. 429) to reconcile the two by supposing that Diodorus has con-
fused a private letter addressed by the generals to their friends at
Athens with the- public despatch mentioned by Xenophon, is a mere

trial. Thereupon of the eight that had fought at Arginusae two,
Protomachus and Aristogenes, retired into voluntary exile : the
other six returned to Athens. Among the latter Erasinides was
accused immediately on his arrival before a BiKaarrrjpiov pro-
bably on a ypa(l>fi kKotttjs Brjfioa-mv xp^p-^Tcav by Archedemus, who
was at that time npoararris tov drifiov, other charges bein^ made
at the same time against his generalship. The result of the
trial was apparently that a fine was imposed upon him and
imprisonment until he should pay it.
Afterwards the generals jointly made a statement before the
Senate as to the battle and the severity of the storm, of which
Xenophon unfortunately does not give the details. Possibly it
may have been the same as the defence that they afterwards
made before the Assembly, that they had indeed given orders
to Theramenes and Thrasybulus to rescue the shipwrecked
crews, but that the violence of the storm had rendered all rescue
impossible. This hypothesis would account for Theramenes
saying at the first meeting of the Assembly, that in their de-
spatch they blamed no one but the stonn, and some two years
afterwards maintaining in his defence against the accusations
of Critias \ that the generals had begun to accuse him first, so
that he had acted, as indeed Critias had asserted, only in self-
defence. Such too seems to have been the prevailing opinion
as to his conduct at the time, if we may believe Aristophanes * ;
and Diodorus' account leaves much the same impression. On
the other hand it is almost as easy to suppose that Theramenes,
being in extremis^ devised this defence, which, such as it is,
seems excessively lame, on the spur of the moment, and that
Diodorus invented his account of the trial to justify this subse-
quent defence. But, however this may be, on Timocrates'
proposal, the Senate resolved to arrest the generals, and bring
them before the Assembly.
The question here arises, what particular form of judicial
machinery was thus set in motion against the accused generals.
It has been very generally assumed ', that the accusation was
an ctVayyeXia of the form which Harpocration (s. v.) defines to
be applicable cVl di^/xoo-iotr ddiKfjfUKri fieyiarois Koi dvafioK^v fxfj

was (i) for the Senate, if after the preliminary hearing the
charge appeared to be beyond its own competence, to refer it
either to a heliastic court or, if the charge were very extra-
ordinary, to the Assembly. Then (2) the Assembly when it met
might either itself consider, whether there was sufficient evi-
dence against the accused for the charge to lie, or, if there
could be no manner of doubt upon that point, simply to deter-
mine what should be the method of the trial. Now Xenophon's
narrative does to a certain extent support this theory : for
Euryptolemus in his speech (§ 33) entreats the people not to
convict the generals of irpoBoa-iop dvri rrjs ddvpapias, and it is well
known that in cases of Trpoboa-ia the (laayyeXia was the ordinary
form of procedure. Again in § 4 Theramenes maintains at the
first meeting of the Assembly, that the generals diKaiovg €ivai
\6yov vTrotrx^lv : and in § 28 ^ Euryptolemus urges the people
not to deprive thie accused of all opportunity of legal defence :
so that both passages might be taken to imply, that at its first
meeting the Assembly merely gave the case the usual pre-
liminary hearing. On the other hand it must be remembered,
that neither Xenophon nor Diodorus speak of the charge as an
(laayyeXia, nor of the first meeting of the Assembly as sum-
moned merely to consider the justifiability of the accusation ;
that all the precise information we possess about this particular
kind of procedure is subsequent to the vopos €la-ayy€\TiK6s, the
date of which is certainly not earlier than the archonship of
Eudides 403 B. c. ; and that in this particular case the proceed-
ings were irregular throughout.
There is indeed an obvious reason why Timocrates should
have proposed in the Senate that the generals should be brought
before the Assembly rather than before an ordinary Heliastic
court : for Theramenes and his party would evidently expect to
be able to work with much more effect upon the feelings of the*
Assembly, made up, as it was at this time, of the old, the
young, and the infirm (the. large majority of the able-bodied
' Cf. §§ 5, 23.
42 INTRODUCTION,
citizens being still on board the fleet), than upon the feelings of
a comparatively select body of sworn dicasts.
Accordingly at the first meeting of the Assembly Theramenes
and his followers appeared as the most prominent accusers of
the generals, maintaining, that if any one was to blame for the
death of the shipwrecked crews, it was the generals themselves,
who in their despatch had simply mentioned the storm as the
cause. In reply the generalsi made only a short defence, as the
leg^l time for speaking was not allowed them, relating how they
had given orders to Theramenes, Thrasybulus, and other capable
men to rescue the crews, while they themselves were sailing
against the enemy ; and repeating that really it was the storm
which had prevented the rescue*. Their defence was supported
by the evidence of the pilots and sailors of the fleet ; and short
as it was, produced such a favourable impression, that many
came forward to* go bail for the generals, and, it was quite
evident that, had a vote been taken, it would have been in their
favour. It was, however, too late in the evening for a show* of
hands to be seen ; so that it was resolved that the case should
be adjourned to a second meeting of the Assembly, and that
meantime the Senate should prepare a npofiovXevfia, as to the
method by which the generals should be tried.
In the interval occurred the festival of the Apaturia, which
the members of each family met to celebrate in common, and at
which the youths, just come of age, were registered on the roll
of their demes. This time many a place was seen to be vacant,
and many a family appeared in mourning garb. Theramenes
and his party, availing themselves of these natural feelings of
grief to kindle great indignation against the generals, seem to
have induced not only the kinsmen of the dead to attend the
second meeting of the Assembly, but, at least according to
Xenophon's narrative*, to have gone so far as to suborn men
to appear among the crowd of real mourners, clad in black
garments and with shaved heads, just as' if they had been
kinsmen.
At the same time too, they persuaded Callixenus to accuse the
^ This is a direct contradiction to Theramenes' statement in ii. 3. 35,
that the generals had asserted otSv r' ttvai auaai Tobs Sv^pas

§ 4. TRIAL OF THE GENERALS. 43
generals in the Senate, which met according to the decision of
the Assembly, and at his instigation drew up a most monstrous
Trpo/3ovX6v/ia, that since the accusation and defence had been
already heard at the previous Assembly (which of course was
not true), at the next meeting the people should vote at once by
tribes, without any further hearing of the case, upon aill the
generals collectively ; that the votes should be given openly
(i.e. not, as usual, by secret ballot) ; and that if the generals
were found guilty, they themselves should be put to death and
their goods should be confiscated. Thus in defiance of all
Athenian legal procedure and traditions no real trial was to be
granted to the generals at all, the voters were to be intimidated,
and sentence was to be passed upon all the accused collectively
instead of separately.
Accordingly at the next Assembly, Callixenus brought forward
this 7rpo0ov\€viJLa : and the general excitement thus produced
was still further heightened by the declaration of a sailor, who
had 'saved his own life by clinging to, a meal-tub, that his drown-
ing companions had bidden him, if he should escape, tell the
people that the generals had left the most patriotic of the citizens
to perish.
Hereupon Euryptolemus, who was cousin to Pericles, one of
the accused generals, together with some others, threatened
Callixenus with a ypa<l)ri napavSfKop for making so unconstitutional
a proposal ; but they were howled down by the people and
forced to withdraw their threat, one Lyciscus even proposing
that they should be included in the same vote as the generals,
unless they gave way. Now, however, some of the Prytanes,
who were presiding over the meeting, refused to put the
question to the vote : but when Callixenus menaced them
with the same treatment, they all withdrew their opposition
except Socrates.
Foiled in this attempt to procure justice for the accused,
Euryptolemus now came forward with an amendment to the
irpo/SouXev/xa, or rather perhaps with an alternative proposal,
in advocating which he was able to make a speech of consider-
able length in defence of the generals. In the course of it
he stated and restated the facts of the case, and pointed
out that two legal methods of procedure were open to the
44 INTRODUCTION,
people. Either the generals might be tried before the people ^
in accordance with the decree- of Cannonus^, which laid down
certain most severe penalties against such persons as had
injured the conmionwealth : or they might be tried before a
Heliastic court under the law against sacrilege and treason.
But whichever of these two methods the people preferred, they
ought to be tried separately^ fair time being allowed for the
accusation, defence, and taking of the votes. In conclusion
therefore', Euryptolemus formally moved that the former of
these two methods should be adopted, namely, that the accused
should be separately tried according to the decree of Cannonus.
When the two proposals were put to the vote, the people
preferred that of Euryptolemus : but virofioa-aficpov M€V€k\€ovs a
second vote was taken, at which the Senate's proposal was
adopted. Afterwards the eight generals were condemned to
death, the votes being taken presumably on the method laid
down in the npo^ovXtvfia, and the six of them, who had returned
to Athens, were inmiediately executed.
^ iv Tf) ^fjuf. Grote seems to be mistaken in laying so much em-
phasis on the fact that the people in the iKKkrjaia were not put on oath :
for this passage alone, where Euryptolemns is emphasizing the proper
legal procedure, wonld be sufficient to show that the Assembly had full
competence to try such cases itself without referring them to a Heliastic
court, and other analogous instances are- produced by Sch6mann (De
Comit. Athen., p. 206).
* t6 Kawaivov }frfi<pi(r/ia : cf. Aristophanes, Eccl. 1089. Although
there is no particular reason why the words dlxa %Kaarov should not have
occurred in the decree, the balance of evidence seems on the whole to be
against it. For in § 23 Euryptolemus insists just as much on the im-
portance of separate trial for each of the accused, if the other constitu-
tional alternative Kard. rbv v6fAov . . . o; iariv inl rois Upoavkois teed rrpod6-
rats should be adopted instead. Moreover, in § 34 he seems to put the
.words Blxa ticaarov into his amendment rather in opposition to the /u$
^fffypffi of Callixenus' itpofiovkfviia than in close connexion with the mar^
rh Kaw<avo{i if/^<tHafiau Finally, the Scholiast on Aristophanes (ad loc)
gives quite a different interpretation of the word biaktXrjfi/jUvov, which
commentators have assumed to refer to the supposed 8/xa ttcaxfrov of the
decree, viz. tcaT^x^/^fvov kKaripojOw dvoXorftToOai rbv kot* flaoYftXiav

lelkfiivov Awolkxetv,
§ 4. TRIAL OF THE GENERALS. 45
What however was the nature of this vTrfOfioaia ? Viewed
simply in relation to the context, the passage seems to
mean that Menecles challenged the vote on some formal
ground, which rendered it necessary for the cmaTdTrjs to
^put~'the question to the vote again. Ordinarily, however, a
vnafioaia meant much more : it meant a determination in
the mover of it to bring the question challenged under the
cognizance of a court of law, and had the effect of suspending
the validity of the resolution until the court had given its de-
cision^ But Xenophon never says a word about any such ad-
journment, and evidently implies that the second vote was
taken immediately after the first and on the same day. We have
therefore to suppose either that Menecles interposed a wra)/zo<rta
of a kind not otherwise known, or that the neglect to carry
into effect the adjournment that it entailed was merely one
more among the many unconstitutional incidents of the day,
unless • indeed we may believe the otherwise untrustworthy
author of the Axiochus^ (c. vii.) who speaks of Theramenes
and Callixenus having at a subsequent meeting^ rfj vtrrcpaia
' It is impossible to attach much weight to this statement in the
Axiochus, because, short as it is, it contains two obvions mistakes :
(i) it speaks of irpStdpoi, although none were instituted before the
archonship of Euclides, 403 B. c. ; (2) it speaks of rpifffxypiuv kxKXri-
cia(6vT03Vf which is evidently a fallacioas computation of the whole body
of Athenian freemen. Moreover, the whole dialogue, as Grote (Plato,
cap. iv.) shows, is a late production, and possesses no authority.
' Gilbert here raises the question as to what became of Socrates*
opposition, which both Plato and Xenophon represent to have been
unswerving ; and finds its solution in the hypothesis of an adjournment,
because at a second meeting Socrates would no longer have been
imffTdrrjs, Probably, however, Socrates' scruple, which was a strictly
legal one,'was satisfied by his putting Euryptolemus' alternative motion
to the vote, which contained a strictly legal proposal, although its rejection
.carried with it the passing of the Senate's Trpofiov\ev/ia ; for this
seems to be the force of the preposition in composition in the words
diaxfiporovovfxivcuv, diaxtipoTovias. Nor need the interposition of
Menecles' vircDfwaia have made any difference, if the question was
immediately put again on the same day : in this case all that Socrates
had to do was to put Euryptolemus' motion over again : and then,
when it was rejected, the irpojSovAcv/xa was ipso facto carried. Cf. Good-
win in the Transactions of the American Philo^. Assoc. 1885, p. 172.

INTRODUCTION^,
suborned the proedri and so procured the condemnation of
the generals.
However that may be, shortly afterwards the people repented
of their injustice, and voted that a public prosecution should be
instituted against those who had deceived the people. Callixenus
and four others were accordingly arrested, Theramenes not
being among the number, which seems to show that some dis-
tinction was drawn between his conduct and that of the rest,
possibly because it was felt, as Diodorus insists at some length,
that he was driven to it by the exigencies of self-defence. But
before the accused could be tried, they all escaped amid the
political confusion of the following year. Callixenus indeed ven-
tured to return with Thrasybulus and the exiled democrats in
403 B.C., but hated by all, says Xenophon, he died of starvation.

apparently the first (Thuc. viii. 106).

§ 4. Iirl ttJv 6<&XaTTav, i.e. to Abydos.
§ 5. I£ IcdOivoO. Mindarus had moved his fleet from Elaeus to Abydos
(cf. Diod. xiii. 45), so that, since Ilium is twenty miles from Abydos,
and since he saw Dorieus entering ifia ^/lifx}, in all probability the fight
must have been renewed the day after Dorieus' arrival in the Hellespont.
Moreover the Athenian ships seem (cf. §§ 2, 3) to have sailed from
Madytus, fought against Dorieus and returned to Madytus again before
the second battle — a process, which, considering the twenty or thirty
miles thus traversed, must have occupied several .hours. Further, since
Madytus was nearly opposite to Abydos, the second battle must have
been fought somewhere between the two cities, and consequently much
higher up the Hellespont than the first. Diodorus (1. c.) speaks of one
battle only, making Mindarus sail down from Abydos to the support of
Dorieus at the Dardanian promontory. Accordingly Breitenbach, wish-
ing to reconcile the two accounts, regards l£ kotdivov as an interpolation.

§ 9. avXXojp^y. Though after this Alcibiades could never again hope
to delude the Athenians with promises of Persian aid (Thuc. viii. 82),
his own naval successes round Samos and now in the Hellespont seem
to have been sufficient to secure for him their confidence. Tissaphemes

§ 12. OT]pa|jiivT)S. (Diod. xiii. 47, 49.) After trying in vain to prevent
the Euboeans and Boeotians from uniting Euboea with the mainland by a
bridge across the Euripus, Theramenes had sailed to the Aegean islands
in order to replace the democracies in the various states, had then lent
aid to king Archelaus of Macedon in the siege of Pydna, and finally
joined Thrasybulus (cf. supr. § 8) on the Thracian coast.

have to bear the unusual sense 'to give an opportunity of speaking,' and
the words fieixvrjfiivovs . . . vvdpxovffav must then be an appeal made by
the generals to their soldiers to give them a fair hearing, when they
returned to Syracuse, — an appeal quite uncalled for after the loyalty
which these soldiers had just shown them. If however the words be
transposed, withDindorf,to their present position in the text, the passage
at once becomes intelligible. When the soldiers refused to elect new
generals, notwithstanding the news that the present generals had been
exiled, Hermocrates told them that they ought not to rebel against the
home government ; but that if any one had any charge to make against
himself or his colleagues, both he and they were in duty bound to give
an account of their commands. As however no one brought any accu-
sation against them, they consented to continue in command till their
successors arrived.

§ 31. KaniYopifio-as. Thucydides (viii. 85) narrates, how in 41 1 B.C. Her-
mocrateis had accused Tissaphernes at Sparta of playing a double game
between the Peloponnesians and Athenians. He is mentioned (infr. i.
3. 13) as accompanying some Spartan envoys, who, at the same time as
some Athenian envoys, were to meet Pharnabazus at Cyzicus, 409 B.C.
Since Diodorus puts his expedition against Syracuse in 408 B. c, it must
have been shortly after this meeting that he obtained from Pharnabazus
the assistance described in this passage. Tissaphernes was the personal
enemy of Pharnabazus.
€v Tovnp 8i -TJKov, cf. ififivav tojs dfiteovro . . . AvewifjapciyTO. The
chronological sequence of events here seems to be hopelessly confused.
How could the old generals have at the same time waited for the new
ones to arrive and been sent on their way with promises of future help ?
Why in § 31 does Xenophon tell the story already narrated by Thucy-
dides (viii. 85) of what had already happened to Hermocrates early in 411,
and couple with that his visit to Pharnabazus, which must certainly have
been subsequent to his exile, mentioned in § 27 as apparently occurring
about the beginning of 410 B.C.? and why does he insert at this point his
preparations for his attack upon Syracuse, which was not actually made
• till 408 B. c. according to Diodorus (xiii. 63) ? Again, to what interval
of time does kv rovrqt refer ? for the new ships building at Antandros in
the spring of 410 cannot have been finished till the summer, i.e. after
the beginning of the next campaign. Perhaps it may be interpreted
to mean the time following the agreement made between the old generals
and the army, inclusive of the time required for building the ships. -Tikov
must therefore be translated as a pluperfect, * had arrived.'
els MCXtitov. This agrees with Thucydides, 1. c.
§ 32. *Ev 0d(rcp. Thasos had revolted from Athens in 411 B. c, two
months after Diotrephes, an Athenian oligarch, bad put down the
democracy, then existing, in favour of an oligarchy (cf. Thuc. viii. 64), and
had since submitted to the government of a Spartan harmost. Now it
appears that the popular party under Ecphantus had expelled Eteonicus
the harmost and his supporters, and admitted Thrasybnlus with an
Athenian force just after the battle of Cyzicus : cf. this section with
§§ 22. 12, and with Demosthenes (c. Lept. § 67), who adds that this
affair further led to t6v irepl Bpdicrjv t&itov entering the Athenian alliance.

was at this time garrisoned by some Messenians, and when they were
attacked by the Spartans, the Athenians sent a fleet of thirty vessels
under Anjrtus to raise the siege. Anytus, however, was unable to
weather Cape Malea, and therefore returned to Athens ; whereupon
the Messenians shortly after surrendered. Xenophon omits altogether
' to notice the important recapture of Nisaea by the Megarians about the

Otherwise it is hard to believe that Alcibiades would have chosen this
moment to return to Athens ; whereas, supposing him to have been in
ignorance, no moment could have seemed more propitious. He had
restored the Athenian dominion over the Bosporus, Propontis, and
Hellespont, had concluded a favourable treaty with Phamabazus, and
had sent an embassy to the Persian king in the hope of bringing him
over to the side of Athens.

rxfi vavapx^as. The origin of the admiralty at Sparta, like that of Book I.
other Lacedaemonian institutions, is shrouded in some obscurity. Hero- ^ — m —
dotus (}ii. 56) speaks of a Spartan naval expedition undertaken against -y
Polycrates, tyrant of Samos, about 525 B.a, but does not mention who
was the commander. He does however apply the title of vavapxos to
Eurybiades at the battle of Salamis (viii. 42), but he calls king Leoty-
chides, who commanded the Greek fleet at Mycale in '4'j^ B.C. arparrjy^s
Kal vavapxos (viii. 131), showing that at that date the office was not
permanently separated from the kingship. From this time, with the
doubtfiil exceptions of the regent Paiisanias and Dorcis (Thuc. i. 95), we
hear nothing of the admiralty till the time of the Peloponnesian War,
after the outbreak of which till its close a tolerably complete list of
admirals can be made out all the time that the Spartans maintained a
fleet at sea. The list begins with Cnemus 430-429 B.C. (Thuc. ii. 66, 80,
93), who seems, like the other Spartan magistrates, to Have entered on his
office in September. Alcidas succeeded after a year's interval, 428-427
(Thuc. iii. 16, 26), and then after another year's interval, Thrasymelidas^
426-425 (Thuc. iv. 11). In 425 the Spartans lost their entire fleet at
Pylos, and built no more ships until after the Athenian disaster at
Syracuse. In 413-412 Melancridas was admiral of the newly built
fleet : he was followed in the two next years by Astyochus (Thuc. viii.
20) and Mindarus (Thuc. viii. 85), who perished at the battle of Cyzicus
in the spring of 410 B.C. It is doubtful whether Pasippidas, who was
commissioned to collect together what ships he could (Xen. i. i. 32) was
actually admiral or not, and it is doubtful again, when the titular
admiral Cratesippidas took command over the ships that he had thus
collected, although Xenophon narrates the fact as occurring apparently
in the campaign of4ii-4io. At any rate Cratesippidas was not suc-
ceeded by Lysander till the autunm of 408 (Xen. i. 5. i). At the end
of his year of office Lysander was followed by Callicratidas, who was
drovmed at the battle of Arginusae in 406 B.C. (c. June). After an
interval of some months the fleet- was handed over to Lysander as
kmaroXevs or second in command, the nominal admiral being Aracus.
Then there is d. gap of one year in our information, during which
Lysander was again actual commander of the fleet, whoever may have
been the titular admiral, and for the following year (404-403) Libys, the
brother of Lysander, was appointed to be admiral.
As to the powers of the office Aristotle (Pol. ii. 9. 33) calls it o'x«8^i'
iripa fiaatXeia — a criticism which seems, however, to be true only of
Lysander, and possibly of Teleutias, the brother of king Agesilaus
(392-391 B.C.) ; and which seems tacitly to refer to Aristotle's previous
definition of the kingship as merely a ffTparrjyia BicL fiiov. In this respect
the admiral was indeed another king, having a power independent of
13
HELLENICA.
Book I. and parallel with that of the two ordinary kings. But in another respect
— M— his position was far inferior and more precarious : for the office was, as
•y a general rule (the case of Cratesippidas, who was sent out. to command
whatever ships he could find, being apparently an exception), an
annual one— at least so it would appear from the list of admirals that
can be made ont with tolerable certainty so long as the Spartans main-
tained a fleet at sea — and moreover the same individual could not legally
hold it twice (Xen. ii. 1.7). In the case of Lysander indeed the ephors
discovered an easy evasion of the law, by appointing him for two
years liriCToXcvs or second in command to a merely nominal admiral :
and it was while holding this subordinate position that Lysander attained
to his greatest power, and acted like a sovereign prince in the
Aegean. Thus at the siege of Athens (405-404) he appears as con^-
mander of the fleet quite on an equality with the kings Agis and Pausa-
nias in command of the army, and further to have the advantage over
them in that his action was not hampered by the presence of a colleague.
Again, when any admiral had proved himself inefficient or untrust-
worthy, the Spartan government preferred, as they did with the kings,
rather to send out ovyL^ovKoi to advise him than simply to deprive him of
his office (cf. Thuc. vi. 85, viii. 39), unless this was absolutely necessary.
The office of the kitioroK^^t^ or second in command has already been
referred to in the case of Lysander. But in ordinary cases the secretary
was appointed, as Pollux (i. 96) declares, to be simply b kir\ rov ut6\ov
itdSoxos rov vavdpxov. Thus after the death of Mindarus, his secretary
Hippocrates took the command of the fleet (Thuc. i. i, 23), and the
admiral Callicratidas left his secretary Eteonicus at the head of the
squadron blockading Conon atMytilene, while he himself sailed to meet
the Athenians at Arginusae, and after his death his place was filled by
Eteonicus until the arrival of a definitely appointed successor.
As to the method of election to the admiralship nothing at all is
known, though it is plain that the post must have been regarded as of
great significance in the struggle of political parties at Sparta. Thus
the choice of L3^sander three times to command the fleet, once as
admiral and twice as secretary, followed by the choice of his brother
Libys and later of his friend Anaxibius, points to the supremacy of his
party in the home government, and similarly the appointment of his
opponent Callicratidas in the autunm of 407 must mean a temporary
check to his policy, though but few details can be made out from the
confused and unchronological account of Plutarch.

412 B.C. (cf. Thuc. viii. 31), and after Arginusae, 406 B.C., the Pelopon-
nesians fled to it for refuge. But, like Cyzicus, it may have been un-
walled, and so liable to occupation by either side, so that there is no

of Thraso [to be distinguished from the famous Thrasybulus], return to
Aliens immediately after the battlq, and there formally impeach Al-
cibiades for general misconduct. Diodorus (xiii. 73, 74) here again gives
quite a different account : the general discontent at Athens was, accord-
ing to him, increased by the accusations of some Cymaean envoys, who ,
complained that, after the battle of Notium, Alcibiades had made a
descent upon Cyme and ravaged its land, notwithstanding that it \ifas
an allied state. But something must be wrong in Diodorus* account,
because Thucydides (-viii. 31, 100) distinctly states that Cyme was on the
Peloponnesian side. Nepos (Ale. 7) has yet another version, that
Alcibiades was accused at Athens, not for the defeat at Notium, which
he does not mention, but for his failure in an attempt upon Cyme.
dXXovs 84Ka. Since the battle of Notium must have taken place
in the spring of 407, and elections were held at Athens about May i,
it would seem that Xenophon must mean, not an extraordinary election
of generals to replace Alcibiades, but the ordinary elections for the
year 407-406, at which Alcibiades failed to secure re-election. Other-

the nomination of five ephors through the agency of the oligarchical,
clubs, the embitterment of internal dissensions, the arrest of the demo-
cratical leaders, and the invitation sent by the oligarchs' to Lysander,
who was still besieging Samos, to interfere in the domestic politics of
Athens (§ 9, in September). When he airived in Athens, his oligarchical
partisans easily procured the passing of the decree mentioned in the
text through the assembly with all the usual legal forms, backed
as they were by the threats of Lysander, on the ground that the
Athenians had not completed the demolition of the walls within the
time prescribed in the treaty. Of the Thirty ten were nominated by

war from the Theban attack on Plataea down to the capture of Athens m ■
lasted almost exactly twenty-seven years, and if to this the six months be TXL.
added down to Lysander's return to Sparta in Sept. 404, the total number
of years is twenty-seven and a half. Morus (Xenophon, Hellenic, p. xxiii)
ingeniously shows how the interpolator arrived at the mistaken total.
For it appears from Thuc. v. 36 that the ephors entered on their office
about the autumnal equinox. When the war began therefore, Aenesias,
who had entered on his office in Sept. 432, had still four months of his
ephorate to run. Twenty-seven more names would bring us down to
September 404. Then the interpolator adds a twenty-ninth, because
Eudicus must have entered on his office just before Lysander returned.

own statement in i. 7. 6. Probably Theramenes means, that if the
generals said that a rescue was possible, and yet in their despatch made
no mention of any orders given to himself and other subordinate officers,
they would themselves appear responsible for the death of the ship-
wrecked sailors. But the generals never said anything of the kind.

ing about the -second oligarchical revolution he is as skilful and successful Book II.
in his intrigues as he was in the first. So soon as he perceives that the '* '
policy of the Thirty is leading them to certain destruction, he opposes III,
them with the same skill as he had used in setting them up ; and when
at last his opposition brings him into personal danger, the nobler side
of his character shines out, till he drinks the cup of hemlock with the
courage and cheerfulness of Socrates. But after all that can be said in
his favour, it is hard to understand Aristotle's judgment on Theramenes,
quoted by Plutarch (Nicias 2), where he mentions him in the same
category with the statesmen Nicias and Thucydides, as ^iXntrroi rSw
voXirSav teal rtarpiic^v ^xoJ'tcs tvvoiav koI <l>i>dav irpds rhv drjfioVy though at
the same time admitting the justice of his nickname of K60opvos. Beloch
indeed" (Die Politik Athens seit Perikles), relying on Theramenes' own
words in § 48, tries to show that he consistently aimed to establish a
moderate democracy at Athens, based on the middle classes, who had
some stake in the state, both when he joined the conspiracy of the Four
Hundred in 411, and when he became one of the Thirty in 404 B.C., and
that he turned against his colleagues on both occasions, not from a mere
wish to save his own life, but because he really disapproved of the
extreme form of oligarchy, which they had introduced, based as it was
upon robbery and murder. From the epithet 6 K0fjaf/6sf which is given to
him by Aristophanes, we may conclude that he was in the habit of draw-
ing delicate distinctions ; and very delicate distinctions indeed are required
to free him from the charge of treachery in his conduct at the trial of the
generals and the capitulation of Athens.

Irt Kal vOv. It is impossible to fix with any exactitude what time
is denoted by these words. Xenophon accompanied C3TUS on his expe-
dition against his brother in 401 B.C., a time which allows too short an
interval to give the words any real meaning ; and he did not return to
Greece till 394 B.C. On the other hand it cannot be very long after
the events described, because the praise assigned to the Athenians must
mean that consistently with the amnesty they did not prosecute certain
definite persons, who had been implicated in the enormities of the
Thirty, and such prosecutions were only likely to have taken place in
the succeeding ten or fifteen years. We may therefore perhaps infer
that Xenophon wrote these words not very long after his return to
Greece.
NOTE ON THE BATTLE OF CYZICUS.
(1. 1. 16.)
^irctS^ JS* CTY^) «.T.X. Diodorus (xiii. 49-51) gives a much fuller
account of the battle, and conceives it quite differently. Plutarch (Ale.
28) seems to follow Xenophon in the main, but to add details frond the
same source as Diodorus.
According to Diodorus,. the several divisions of the Athenian fleet
united at Cardia, and then sailed up the Hellespont to Proconnesus,
taking care to pass Abydos by night, that the increase m their numbers
might not be noticed by the enemy. Mindarus, with the help of Phar-
nabazus, had just taken Cyzicus by storm. Next day the Athenians
disembarked their soldiers, under Chares, upon the Cyzicene territory,
and with their fleet in three divisions, under Alcibiades, Thrasybulus,
and Theramenes, sailed against the enemy at Cyzicus. Alcibiades went
ahead in order to vpo/ea\i<raa0cu rovs voXtfjiiovSj the other two generals
41
HELLENICA,
aiming to surronnd'them and cut them off from the city. Mindarus
saw only Alcibiades' ships, and, despising their numbers, sailed out to
meet them; whereupon Alcibiades by pretending flight drew him
voppojripo) Tfjs irdKeojSf till suddenly he faced about, and Theram«ies
and Thrasybulus, seeing his signal, sailed towards the city and cut off
the Peloponnesians. Mindarus, now seeing the whole Athenian fleet
(nothing is said about any mist), fled to shore at Cleri, where Phama-
bazus was encamped. Alcibiades hotly pursued him, sunk some of his
ships, took others, and tried to drag others off the beach. The Pelo-
ponnesian land forces and the troops of Phamabazus now came to the
assistance of Mindaiiis, whereupon Thrasybulus disembarked his marines
and sent word to Theramenes to bring up the soldiers under Chares.
Meanwhile Mindarus, supported by the mercenaries of Phamabazus and
also by Clearchus, firmly stood his ground. "When however Thera-
menes arrived with the reinforcements and joined Thrasybulus, first the
mercenaries broke the line and fled, and then Clearchus was obliged to
retire. Theramenes and his.troops jiow went off to the help of Alcibiades.
Mindarus was thus obliged to divide his forces : one division he sent to
oppose Theramenes, while he 'himself at the head of the other made
a brave resistance against Alcibiades, until after many heroic exploits
he was himself slain. His death was the signal for a general flight
among the Peloponnesians ; but the Athenians were unable to pursue
them far, because their retreat was covered by Phamabazus, who now
arrived on the scene.
According to Plutarch, Alcibiades, on arriving in the Athenian camp,
hearing that Mindams and Phamabazus were in Cyzicus, determined to
fight, and exhorted his troops accordingly. Then he sailed with the
whole fleet to Proconnesus, where he ordered ivrbs v€pifidk\€iv rSi XenrA
vkoia, that no news of his intended attack might reach the enemy, his
precaution being much aided by a great thunderstorm and thick mist.
Then the whole fleet set sail, and when the mist gradually lifted, Alci-
biades saw the Peloponnesian fleet vpo rov ki/iivos tSjv Kv(iKrjvSfv.
Thereupon he ordered the other generals to keep behind out of sight,
while he himself, sailing on in front with forty ships, vpovicaXuro rov^
voKffxious. The Peloponnesians, despising his small numbers, sailed to
meet him, and at once joined battle ; but when the rest of the Athenian
fleet came up, they turned and fled. At this juncture Alcibiades, 8tcic-
vXfwxas with twenty of his fastest vessels, made for the shore, disembarked,
and slew many of the enemy, as they fled from their ships. Mindams
(who is not mentioned as being on board the Peloponnesian fleet at all)
and Phamabazus now came up to the rescue, but in vain : for Alcibiades
quickly slew Mindarus and put Phamabazus to flight.
