§6.59.1τοιούτῳ μὲν τρόπῳ δι’ ἐρωτικὴν λύπην ἥ τε ἀρχὴ τῆς ἐπιβουλῆς καὶ ἡ ἀλόγιστος τόλμα ἐκ τοῦ παραχρῆμα περιδεοῦς Ἁρμοδίῳ καὶ Ἀριστογείτονι ἐγένετο.
In such a manner, prompted by the pain of love, both the beginning of the conspiracy and their reckless daring—arising from immediate panic—came about for Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
§6.59.2τοῖς δ’ Ἀθηναίοις χαλεπωτέρα μετὰ τοῦτο ἡ τυραννὶς κατέστη, καὶ ὁ Ἱππίας διὰ φόβου ἤδη μᾶλλον ὢν τῶν τε πολιτῶν πολλοὺς ἔκτεινε καὶ πρὸς τὰ ἔξω ἅμα διεσκοπεῖτο, εἴ ποθεν ἀσφάλειάν τινα ὁρῴη μεταβολῆς γενομένης ὑπάρχουσάν οἱ.
After this, the tyranny became more oppressive for the Athenians; and Hippias, now being in greater fear, put many of the citizens to death, and at the same time looked to foreign affairs, to see if he might discover from any quarter some security available for himself in the event of a revolution.
§6.59.3Ἱππόκλου γοῦν τοῦ Λαμψακηνοῦ τυράννου Αἰαντίδῃ τῷ παιδὶ θυγατέρα ἑαυτοῦ μετὰ ταῦτα Ἀρχεδίκην Ἀθηναῖος ὢν Λαμψακηνῷ ἔδωκεν, αἰσθανόμενος αὐτοὺς μέγα παρὰ βασιλεῖ Δαρείῳ δύνασθαι.
At any rate, he afterwards gave his daughter, Archedice, to Aiantides, the son of Hippoclus, the tyrant of Lampsacus—though he was himself an Athenian marrying her to a Lampsacene—because he perceived that they had great influence with King Darius.
καὶ αὐτῆς σῆμα ἐν Λαμψάκῳ ἐστὶν ἐπίγραμμα ἔχον τόδε· "
ἀνδρὸς ἀριστεύσαντος ἐν Ἑλλάδι τῶν ἐφ’ ἑαυτοῦ
Ἱππίου Ἀρχεδίκην ἥδε κέκευθε κόνις,
ἣ πατρός τε καὶ ἀνδρὸς ἀδελφῶν τ’ οὖσα τυράννων
παίδων τ’ οὐκ ἤρθη νοῦν ἐς ἀτασθαλίην.
And there is a monument to her in Lampsacus with this inscription: "This dust covers Archedice, the daughter of Hippias, who was the foremost man in Hellas among his contemporaries; she, though having a father, a husband, brothers, and children who were tyrants, did not raise her mind to pride.
" §6.59.4τυραννεύσας δὲ ἔτη τρία Ἱππίας ἔτι Ἀθηναίων καὶ παυθεὶς ἐν τῷ τετάρτῳ ὑπὸ Λακεδαιμονίων καὶ Ἀλκμεωνιδῶν τῶν φευγόντων, ἐχώρει ὑπόσπονδος ἔς τε Σίγειον καὶ παρ᾽ Αἰαντίδην ἐς Λάμψακον, ἐκεῖθεν δὲ ὡς βασιλέα Δαρεῖον, ὅθεν καὶ ὁρμώμενος ἐς Μαραθῶνα ὕστερον ἔτει εἰκοστῷ ἤδη γέρων ὢν μετὰ Μήδων ἐστράτευσεν.
"Having ruled over the Athenians for three more years, Hippias was deposed in the fourth year by the Lacedaemonians and the exiled Alcmaconidae. He departed under a truce both to Sigeum and to Aiantides at Lampsacus, and from there to King Darius, from where, twenty years later, though now an old man, he set out to march with the Medes to Marathon.
