After the replies from Rome were clarified, public hatred spread against the pro-Roman faction of Callicrates in the Peloponnese, illustrated by people avoiding the same bathwater, jeering at festivals, and children's insults.
ὅτι κατὰ τὴν Πελοπόννησον, παραγενομένων τῶν πρεσβευτῶν καὶ διασαφούντων τὰ κατὰ τὰς ἀποκρίσεις, οὐκέτι θόρυβος ἦν, ἀλλʼ ὀργὴ καὶ μῖσος ἐκφανὲς πρὸς τοὺς περὶ τὸν Καλλικράτην. —
ὅτι In the Peloponnese, when the ambassadors arrived and made clear the details of the replies, there was no longer any confusion, but an open anger and hatred towards Callicrates and his party. —
ὅτι τοῦ περὶ Καλλικράτην μίσους1 καὶ Ἀνδρωνίδαν καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς τοὺς ὁμογνώμονας τούτων οὕτως ἄν τις τεκμήραιτο.
ὅτι One might estimate the hatred felt towards Callicrates, Andronidas, and the rest who shared their views from the following.
τῆς γὰρ τῶν Ἀντιγονείων πανηγύρεως ἐν τῷ Σικυῶνι συντελουμένης, καὶ τῶν βαλανείων ἁπάντων ἐχόντων τάς τε κοινὰς μάκτρας καὶ πυέλους ταύταις παρακειμένας, εἰς ἃς οἱ κομψότεροι τῶν ἀνθρώπων εἰώθασι κατʼ ἰδίαν ἐμβαίνειν, εἰς ταύτας ὅτε τις καθείη τῶν περὶ τὸν Ἀνδρωνίδαν καὶ Καλλικράτην, οὐδεὶς ἐτόλμα τῶν ἐφεστώτων ἔτι καθιέναι, πρὶν ἢ τὸν βαλανείτην τὸ μὲν ὑπάρχον ὕδωρ ἀφεῖναι πᾶν, ἕτερον δὲ καθαρὸν ἐγχέαι.
For when the festival of the Antigoneia was being celebrated in Sicyon, and all the bathhouses had both the public basins and, lying adjacent to them, the private tubs in which the more refined people were accustomed to bathe individually, whenever any of the party of Andronidas and Callicrates let themselves down into these, no one else of those present dared to go in after them, until the bath-attendant had let out all the water there, and poured in other clean water.
τοῦτο δʼ ἐποίουν, ὑπολαμβάνοντες ὡσανεὶ μιαίνεσθαι καθιέντες2 εἰς ταὐτὸ τοῖς προειρημένοις ὕδωρ.
They did this because they imagined that they were defiled, as it were, if they let themselves down into the same water as the aforementioned men.
τοὺς δὲ συριγμοὺς τοὺς ἐν ταῖς κοιναῖς πανηγύρεσι τῶν Ἑλλήνων καὶ τοὺς χλευασμούς,3 ὅτε τις ἐπιβάλοιτο κηρύττειν τινὰ τῶν προειρημένων, οὐδʼ ἂν ἐξηγήσαιτο ῥᾳδίως οὐδείς.
As for the hissing and jeering in the general festivals of the Greeks, whenever anyone attempted to make a public proclamation of any of the aforementioned men, no one could easily describe it.
ἐθάρρει δὲ καὶ τὰ παιδάρια κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ἐκ τῶν διδασκαλείων ἐπανάγοντα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοὺς προδότας ἀποκαλεῖν. τοιαύτη τις ὑπέδραμε προσκοπὴ καὶ μῖσος κατὰ τῶν προειρημένων.
Even the young children, as they returned from school along the streets, had the courage to call them traitors to their faces. Such was the aversion and hatred that crept in against the aforementioned men.
- 30.29.2τοῦ ... μίσους
