§1.23.6ταύταις δὲ οὐκ ἐθέλειν νήσοις προσίσχειν τοὺς ναύτας οἷα πρότερόν τε προσσχόντας καὶ τῶν ἐνοικούντων οὐκ ἀπείρως ἔχοντας, βιασθῆναι δʼ οὖν καὶ τότε.
The sailors did not wish to put in at these islands, since they had put in before and were not unacquainted with the inhabitants, but nonetheless they were forced to do so on that occasion too.
ταύτας καλεῖσθαι μὲν ὑπὸ τῶν ναυτῶν Σατυρίδας, εἶναι δὲ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας καπυροὺς καὶ ἵππων οὐ πολὺ μείους ἔχειν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἰσχίοις οὐράς.
He said that these islands were called Satyrides by the sailors, and that the inhabitants were red-skinned and had tails on their loins not much smaller than those of horses.
τούτους, ὡς ᾔσθοντο, καταδραμόντας ἐπὶ τὴν ναῦν φωνὴν μὲν οὐδεμίαν ἱέναι, ταῖς δὲ γυναιξὶν ἐπιχειρεῖν ταῖς ἐν τῇ νηί·
When these people perceived them, they ran down to the ship and uttered no voice, but made attempts upon the women in the ship.
τέλος δὲ δείσαντας τοὺς ναύτας βάρβαρον γυναῖκα ἐκβαλεῖν ἐς τὴν νῆσον· ἐς ταύτην οὖν ὑβρίζειν τοὺς Σατύρους οὐ μόνον ᾗ καθέστηκεν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ πᾶν ὁμοίως σῶμα.
At last the sailors, being terrified, cast out a barbarian woman onto the island; and upon her the Satyrs committed outrages, not only where it is natural, but also over her whole body alike.
§1.23.7καὶ ἄλλα ἐν τῇ Ἀθηναίων ἀκροπόλει θεασάμενος οἶδα, Λυκίου τοῦ Μύρωνος χαλκοῦν παῖδα, ὃς τὸ περιρραντήριον ἔχει, καὶ Μύρωνος Περσέα τὸ ἐς Μέδουσαν ἔργον εἰργασμένον.
I also know other things from having seen them on the Athenian Acropolis: the bronze boy of Lycius, the son of Myron, who holds the sprinkling-vessel, and Myron’s Perseus, the work representing his deed against Medusa.
καὶ Ἀρτέμιδος ἱερόν ἐστι Βραυρωνίας, Πραξιτέλους μὲν τέχνη τὸ ἄγαλμα, τῇ θεῷ δέ ἐστιν ἀπὸ Βραυρῶνος δήμου τὸ ὄνομα καὶ τὸ ἀρχαῖον ξόανόν ἐστιν ἐν Βραυρῶνι, Ἄρτεμις ὡς λέγουσιν ἡ Ταυρική.
There is also a sanctuary of Brauronian Artemis; the statue is the art of Praxiteles, and the goddess has her name from the deme of Brauron, and the ancient wooden image is in Brauron, namely, as they say, the Tauric Artemis.
§1.23.8ἵππος δὲ ὁ καλούμενος Δούριος ἀνάκειται χαλκοῦς.
And the horse called the Wooden Horse is dedicated there in bronze.
καὶ ὅτι μὲν τὸ ποίημα τὸ Ἐπειοῦ μηχάνημα ἦν ἐς διάλυσιν τοῦ τείχους, οἶδεν ὅστις μὴ πᾶσαν ἐπιφέρει τοῖς Φρυξὶν εὐήθειαν· λέγεται δὲ ἔς τε ἐκεῖνον τὸν ἵππον ὡς τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἔνδον ἔχοι τοὺς ἀρίστους, καὶ δὴ καὶ τοῦ χαλκοῦ τὸ σχῆμά ἐστι κατὰ ταῦτα·
Now, that the creation of Epeius was an engine for the dismantling of the wall, anyone knows who does not attribute complete simplicity to the Phrygians; but it is said of that horse that it held the best of the Greeks inside, and indeed the shape of the bronze statue is in accordance with this.
καὶ Μενεσθεὺς καὶ Τεῦκρος ὑπερκύπτουσιν ἐξ αὐτοῦ, προσέτι δὲ καὶ οἱ παῖδες οἱ Θησέως.
Both Menestheus and Teucer peep out from it, and moreover also the sons of Theseus.
§1.23.9ἀνδριάντων δὲ ὅσοι μετὰ τὸν ἵππον ἑστήκασιν Ἐπιχαρίνου μὲν ὁπλιτοδρομεῖν ἀσκήσαντος τὴν εἰκόνα ἐποίησε Κριτίας, Οἰνοβίῳ δὲ ἔργον ἐστὶν ἐς Θουκυδίδην τὸν Ὀλόρου χρηστόν·
Of the statues that stand after the horse, Critias made the likeness of Epicharinus, who practiced the race in armor; and Oenobius has a good deed to his credit toward Thucydides, the son of Olorus.
ψήφισμα γὰρ ἐνίκησεν Οἰνόβιος κατελθεῖν ἐς Ἀθήνας Θουκυδίδην, καί οἱ δολοφονηθέντι ὡς κατῄει μνῆμά ἐστιν οὐ πόρρω πυλῶν Μελιτίδων.
For Oenobius succeeded in passing a decree for Thucydides to return to Athens, and for him, after he had been murdered as he was returning, there is a monument not far from the Melitid gates.
§1.23.10τὰ δὲ ἐς Ἑρμόλυκον τὸν παγκρατιαστὴν καὶ Φορμίωνα τὸν Ἀσωπίχου γραψάντων ἑτέρων παρίημι· ἐς δὲ Φορμίωνα τοσόνδε ἔχω πλέον γράψαι.
The story concerning Hermolycus the pancratiast and Phormio the son of Asopichus I pass over, since others have written of them; but about Phormio I have this much more to write.
Φορμίωνι γὰρ τοῖς ἐπιεικέσιν Ἀθηναίων ὄντι ὁμοίῳ καὶ ἐς προγόνων δόξαν οὐκ ἀφανεῖ συνέβαινεν ὀφείλειν χρέα· ἀναχωρήσας οὖν ἐς τὸν Παιανιέα δῆμον ἐνταῦθα εἶχε δίαιταν, ἐς ὃ ναύαρχον αὐτὸν Ἀθηναίων αἱρουμένων ἐκπλεύσεσθαι οὐκ ἔφασκεν·
For it happened to Phormio, who was like the best of the Athenians and not obscure in the fame of his ancestors, to fall into debt; having retired, therefore, to the deme of Paeania, he had his living there, until, when the Athenians elected him admiral, he said he would not sail out.
ὀφείλειν τε γὰρ καί οἱ, πρὶν ἂν ἐκτίσῃ, πρὸς τοὺς στρατιώτας οὐκ εἶναι παρέχεσθαι φρόνημα.
For he said that he owed money, and before he had paid it off, he could not show spirit before his soldiers.
οὕτως Ἀθηναῖοι—πάντως γὰρ ἐβούλοντο ἄρχειν Φορμίωνα—τὰ χρέα ὁπόσοις ὤφειλε διαλύουσιν.
Accordingly the Athenians—for they wished by all means for Phormio to command—discharged his debts to all those to whom he was indebted.
