In response to the revolts of Euboea and Megara and the Peloponnesian invasion of Attica, the Athenian army led by Pericles intervenes, eventually reconquering the whole of Euboea.
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα οὐ πολλῷ ὕστερον Εὔβοια ἀπέστη ἀπὸ Ἀθηναίων, καὶ ἐς αὐτὴν διαβεβηκότος ἤδη Περικλέους1 στρατιᾷ2 Ἀθηναίων ἠγγέλθη αὐτῷ ὅτι Μέγαρα ἀφέστηκε καὶ Πελοποννήσιοι μέλλουσιν ἐσβαλεῖν ἐς τὴν Ἀττικὴν καὶ οἱ φρουροὶ Ἀθηναίων διεφθαρμένοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ Μεγαρέων, πλὴν ὅσοι ἐς Νίσαιαν ἀπέφυγον· ἐπαγαγόμενοι δὲ Κορινθίους καὶ Σικυωνίους καὶ Ἐπιδαυρίους ἀπέστησαν οἱ Μεγαρῆς. ὁ δὲ Περικλῆς πάλιν κατὰ τάχος ἐκόμιζε τὴν στρατιὰν ἐκ τῆς Εὐβοίας.
Not long after this, Euboea revolted from the Athenians. When Pericles had already crossed over to it with an Athenian army, news was brought to him that Megara had revolted, that the Peloponnesians were about to invade Attica, and that the Athenian garrisons had been destroyed by the Megarians, except for those who had fled to Nisaea. The Megarians had revolted after calling to their aid the Corinthians, Sicyonians, and Epidaurians. So Pericles in all haste brought the army back from Euboea.
καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο οἱ Πελοποννήσιοι τῆς Ἀττικῆς3 ἐς Ἐλευσῖνα καὶ Θριῶζε ἐσβαλόντες ἐδῄωσαν Πλειστοάνακτος τοῦ Παυσανίου βασιλέως Λακεδαιμονίων ἡγουμένου, καὶ τὸ πλέον οὐκέτι προελθόντες ἀπεχώρησαν ἐπ’ οἴκου.
After this, the Peloponnesians, under the command of Pleistoanax, son of Pausanias, king of the Lacedaemonians, invaded Attica as far as Eleusis and the Thriasian plain and ravaged it, and without advancing any further, they withdrew homeward.
καὶ Ἀθηναῖοι πάλιν ἐς Εὔβοιαν διαβάντες Περικλέους στρατηγοῦντος κατεστρέψαντο πᾶσαν, καὶ τὴν μὲν ἄλλην ὁμολογίᾳ κατεστήσαντο, Ἑστιαιᾶς δὲ ἐξοικίσαντες4 αὐτοὶ τὴν γῆν ἔσχον.
And the Athenians, having crossed over again to Euboea under the command of Pericles, subjugated the whole of it; and while they settled the rest of the island by treaty, they expelled the Hestiaeans and occupied their land themselves.
- 1.114.1διαβεβηκότος ἤδη Περικλέους
Genitive absolute construction. The perfect participle διαβεβηκότος indicates that Pericles' crossing to Euboea had already taken place and was a completed action.
- 1.114.1στρατιᾷ
Dative of accompaniment. In military contexts, this dative is commonly used without a preposition to indicate the force accompanying a commander.
- 1.114.2τῆς Ἀττικῆς
Partitive genitive. Used in connection with ἐσβαλόντες ἐς... to limit the invasion to specific areas within the territory of Attica.
- 1.114.3Ἑστιαιᾶς δὲ ἐξοικίσαντες
The accusative plural Ἑστιαιᾶς serves as the direct object of the active participle ἐξοικίσαντες ('having expelled' or 'having driven out').
