§1.29.1τοῦ δὲ Ἀρείου πάγου πλησίον δείκνυται ναῦς ποιηθεῖσα ἐς τὴν τῶν Παναθηναίων πομπήν.
Near the Areopagus is exhibited a ship made for the Panathenaic procession.
καὶ ταύτην μὲν ἤδη πού τις ὑπερεβάλετο· τὸ δὲ ἐν Δήλῳ πλοῖον οὐδένα πω νικήσαντα οἶδα, καθῆκον ἐς ἐννέα ἐρέτας ἀπὸ τῶν καταστρωμάτων.
And this one indeed someone has already perhaps surpassed; but the vessel in Delos I know of no one yet having surpassed, which reaches down to nine rowers from the deck.
§1.29.2Ἀθηναίοις δὲ καὶ ἔξω πόλεως ἐν τοῖς δήμοις καὶ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς θεῶν ἐστιν ἱερὰ καὶ ἡρώων καὶ ἀνδρῶν τάφοι· ἐγγυτάτω δὲ Ἀκαδημία, χωρίον ποτὲ ἀνδρὸς ἰδιώτου, γυμνάσιον δὲ ἐπʼ ἐμοῦ.
And for the Athenians, even outside the city in the demes and along the roads, there are sanctuaries of gods and tombs of heroes and men; and the nearest is the Academy, once the property of a private man, but in my time a gymnasium.
κατιοῦσι δʼ ἐς αὐτὴν περίβολός ἐστιν Ἀρτέμιδος καὶ ξόανα Ἀρίστης καὶ Καλλίστης· ὡς μὲν ἐγὼ δοκῶ καὶ ὁμολογεῖ τὰ ἔπη τὰ Πάμφω, τῆς Ἀρτέμιδός εἰσιν ἐπικλήσεις αὗται, λεγόμενον δὲ καὶ ἄλλον ἐς αὐτὰς λόγον εἰδὼς ὑπερβήσομαι.
And as you go down to it, there is an enclosure of Artemis, and wooden images of Ariste and Calliste; as I believe, and the verses of Pamphos agree, these are surnames of Artemis, but though I know another story told about them, I shall pass it over.
καὶ ναὸς οὐ μέγας ἐστίν, ἐς ὃν τοῦ Διονύσου τοῦ Ἐλευθερέως τὸ ἄγαλμα ἀνὰ πᾶν ἔτος κομίζουσιν ἐν τεταγμέναις ἡμέραις.
And there is a temple, not large, into which they carry the image of Dionysus Eleuthereus every year on appointed days.
§1.29.3ἱερὰ μέν σφισι ταύτῃ τοσαῦτά ἐστι, τάφοι δὲ Θρασυβούλου μὲν πρῶτον τοῦ Λύκου, ἀνδρὸς τῶν τε ὕστερον καὶ ὅσοι πρὸ αὐτοῦ γεγόνασιν Ἀθηναίοις λόγιμοι τὰ πάντα ἀρίστου—παρέντι δέ μοι τὰ πλείω τοσάδε ἐς πίστιν ἀρκέσει τοῦ λόγου· τυραννίδα γὰρ ἔπαυσε τῶν τριάκοντα καλουμένων σὺν ἀνδράσιν ἑξήκοντα τὸ κατʼ ἀρχὰς ὁρμηθεὶς ἐκ Θηβῶν, καὶ Ἀθηναίους στασιάζοντας διαλλαγῆναι καὶ συνθεμένους ἔπεισε μεῖναι—, πρῶτος μέν ἐστιν οὗτος τάφος, ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτῷ Περικλέους τε καὶ Χαβρίου καὶ Φορμίωνος.
Sanctuaries indeed they have this many in this direction, but for tombs, there is first that of Thrasybulus, son of Lycus, a man in all things the best of both those of later times and all who before him became famous among the Athenians—and though I pass over most things, this much will suffice for the credibility of my account: for he put an end to the tyranny of the so-called Thirty, having started from Thebes at the beginning with sixty men, and he persuaded the Athenians, who were in sedition, to be reconciled and to remain by their agreements—this indeed is the first tomb, and after it are those of Pericles, Chabrias, and Phormio.
§1.29.4ἔστι δὲ καὶ πᾶσι μνῆμα Ἀθηναίοις ὁπόσοις ἀποθανεῖν συνέπεσεν ἔν τε ναυμαχίαις καὶ ἐν μάχαις πεζαῖς πλὴν ὅσοι Μαραθῶνι αὐτῶν ἠγωνίσαντο· τούτοις γὰρ κατὰ χώραν εἰσὶν οἱ τάφοι διʼ ἀνδραγαθίαν, οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν κεῖνται τὴν ἐς Ἀκαδημίαν, καὶ σφῶν ἑστᾶσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς τάφοις στῆλαι τὰ ὀνόματα καὶ τὸν δῆμον ἑκάστου λέγουσαι.
And there is also a monument for all the Athenians who happened to die in naval battles and in land battles, except for those of them who fought at Marathon; for to these, because of their valor, their tombs are on the spot, but the others lie along the road to the Academy, and stelae stand upon their tombs declaring the name and the deme of each.
πρῶτοι δὲ ἐτάφησαν οὓς ἐν Θρᾴκῃ ποτὲ ἐπικρατοῦντας μέχρι Δραβησκοῦ τῆς χώρας Ἠδωνοὶ φονεύουσιν ἀνέλπιστοι ἐπιθέμενοι· §1.29.5λέγεται δὲ καὶ ὡς κεραυνοὶ πέσοιεν ἐς αὐτούς.
And the first to be buried were those whom, when they once held sway in Thrace as far as the territory of Drabescus, the Edonians killed by attacking them unexpectedly; and it is also said that thunderbolts fell upon them.
στρατηγοὶ δὲ ἄλλοι τε ἦσαν καὶ Λέαγρος, ᾧ μάλιστα ἐπετέτραπτο ἡ δύναμις, καὶ Δεκελεὺς Σωφάνης, ὃς τὸν Ἀργεῖόν ποτε πένταθλον Νεμείων ἀνῃρημένον νίκην ἀπέκτεινεν Εὐρυβάτην βοηθοῦντα Αἰγινήταις.
And among the generals were others and especially Leagros, to whom the command of the force had been chiefly entrusted, and Sophanes of Decelea, who once killed the Argive pentathlete Eurybates, who had won a victory at the Nemean games, when he was helping the Aeginetans.
στρατὸν δὲ ἔξω τῆς Ἑλλάδος Ἀθηναῖοι τρίτον τοῦτον ἔστειλαν· Πριάμῳ μὲν γὰρ καὶ Τρωσὶ πάντες Ἕλληνες ἀπὸ κοινοῦ λόγου κατέστησαν ἐς πόλεμον, Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ ἰδίᾳ μετʼ Ἰολάου τε ἐς Σαρδὼ καὶ δευτέραν ἐς τὴν νῦν Ἰωνίαν ἐστράτευσαν καὶ τρίτον δὴ τότε ἐς τὴν Θρᾴκην.
And this was the third army the Athenians sent outside of Greece; for against Priam and the Trojans all the Greeks engaged in war by common agreement, but the Athenians by themselves campaigned with Iolaus to Sardò, and a second time to what is now Ionia, and then for the third time on that occasion to Thrace.
§1.29.6ἔστι δὲ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ μνήματος στήλη μαχομένους ἔχουσα ἱππεῖς· Μελάνωπός σφισίν ἐστι καὶ Μακάρτατος ὀνόματα, οὓς κατέλαβεν ἀποθανεῖν ἐναντία Λακεδαιμονίων καὶ Βοιωτῶν τεταγμένους, ἔνθα τῆς Ἐλεωνίας εἰσὶ χώρας πρὸς Ταναγραίους ὅροι.
And in front of the monument is a stele showing cavalry fighting; their names are Melanopus and Macartatus, whom death overtook when they were drawn up against the Lacedaemonians and Boeotians, where are the boundaries of the Eleonian territory towards the Tanagraeans.
καὶ Θεσσαλῶν τάφος ἐστὶν ἱππέων κατὰ παλαιὰν φιλίαν ἐλθόντων, ὅτε σὺν Ἀρχιδάμῳ Πελοποννήσιοι πρῶτον ἐσέβαλον ἐς τὴν Ἀττικὴν στρατιᾷ, καὶ πλησίον τοξόταις Κρησίν· αὖθις δέ ἐστιν Ἀθηναίων μνήματα Κλεισθένους, ᾧ τὰ ἐς τὰς φυλὰς αἳ νῦν καθεστᾶσιν εὑρέθη, καὶ ἱππεῦσιν ἀποθανοῦσιν ἡνίκα συνεπελάβοντο οἱ Θεσσαλοὶ τοῦ κινδύνου.
And there is a tomb of the Thessalian cavalry who came according to their ancient friendship, when the Peloponnesians with Archidamus first invaded Attica with an army, and near it one for Cretan archers; and again there are monuments of the Athenians: of Cleisthenes, by whom the arrangement of the tribes which now exist was devised, and of the cavalry who died when the Thessalians shared in the danger.
§1.29.7ἐνταῦθα καὶ Κλεωναῖοι κεῖνται, μετὰ Ἀργείων ἐς τὴν Ἀττικὴν ἐλθόντες· ἐφʼ ὅτῳ δέ, γράψω τοῦ λόγου μοι κατελθόντος ἐς τοὺς Ἀργείους.
Here also lie the Cleonaeans, who came with the Argives into Attica; and for what reason, I shall write when my account goes down to the Argives.
καὶ Ἀθηναίων δʼ ἔστι τάφος, οἳ πρὶν ἢ στρατεῦσαι τὸν Μῆδον ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς Αἰγινήτας.
And there is also a tomb of the Athenians who, before the Mede campaigned, fought against the Aeginetans.
ἦν δὲ ἄρα καὶ δήμου δίκαιον βούλευμα, εἰ δὴ καὶ Ἀθηναῖοι μετέδοσαν δούλοις δημοσίᾳ ταφῆναι καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα ἐγγραφῆναι στήλῃ· δηλοῖ δὲ ἀγαθοὺς σφᾶς ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ γενέσθαι περὶ τοὺς δεσπότας.
And it was, as it turns out, a just decree of the people, if indeed the Athenians shared with slaves a public burial and to have their names inscribed on a stele; and it shows that they proved themselves good towards their masters in the war.
ἔστι δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν ὀνόματα ἄλλων, διάφορα δέ σφισι τὰ χωρία τῶν ἀγώνων· καὶ γὰρ τῶν ἐπʼ Ὄλυνθον ἐλθόντων οἱ δοκιμώτατοι καὶ Μελήσανδρος ἐς τὴν ἄνω Καρίαν ναυσὶν ἀναπλεύσας διὰ τοῦ Μαιάνδρου, ἐτάφησαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τελευτήσαντες §1.29.8πολεμοῦντος Κασσάνδρου καὶ οἱ συμμαχήσαντές ποτε Ἀργείων.
And there are also names of other men, and the locations of their contests were various; for the most famous of those who went against Olynthus, and Melesander who sailed up with his ships into upper Caria through the Maeander, and those who died are also buried when Cassander was waging war, and those of the Argives who once fought as allies.
πραχθῆναι δὲ οὕτω σφίσι τὴν πρὸς Ἀργείους λέγουσι συμμαχίαν· Λακεδαιμονίοις τὴν πόλιν τοῦ θεοῦ σείσαντος οἱ εἵλωτες ἐς Ἰθώμην ἀπέστησαν, ἀφεστηκότων δὲ οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι βοηθοὺς καὶ ἄλλους καὶ παρὰ Ἀθηναίων μετεπέμποντο· οἱ δέ σφισιν ἐπιλέκτους ἄνδρας ἀποστέλλουσι καὶ στρατηγὸν Κίμωνα τὸν Μιλτιάδου.
And they say that their alliance with the Argives was brought about in this way: when the god shook the city of the Lacedaemonians, the Helots revolted to Ithome, and when they had revolted, the Lacedaemonians sent for helpers both others and from the Athenians; and they sent to them select men and Cimon, the son of Miltiades, as general.
τούτους ἀποπέμπουσιν οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι πρὸς ὑποψίαν·
These men the Lacedaemonians sent back out of suspicion;
