§1.29.9Ἀθηναίοις δὲ οὐκ ἀνεκτὰ ἐφαίνετο περιυβρίσθαι, καὶ ὡς ἐκομίζοντο ὀπίσω συμμαχίαν ἐποιήσαντο Ἀργείοις Λακεδαιμονίων ἐχθροῖς τὸν ἅπαντα οὖσι χρόνον.
To the Athenians it did not seem tolerable to have been treated with insult, and as soon as they returned, they made an alliance with the Argives, who were enemies of the Lacedaemonians for all time.
ὕστερον δὲ μελλούσης Ἀθηναίων ἐν Τανάγρᾳ γίνεσθαι πρὸς Βοιωτοὺς καὶ Λακεδαιμονίους μάχης, ἀφίκοντο Ἀθηναίοις Ἀργεῖοι βοηθοῦντες· καὶ παραυτίκα μὲν ἔχοντας πλέον τοὺς Ἀργείους νὺξ ἐπελθοῦσα ἀφείλετο τὸ σαφὲς τῆς νίκης, ἐς δὲ τὴν ὑστεραίαν ὑπῆρξε κρατῆσαι Λακεδαιμονίοις Θεσσαλῶν προδόντων Ἀθηναίους.
And later, when a battle was about to take place at Tanagra for the Athenians against the Boeotians and Lacedaemonians, the Argives came to help the Athenians; and at the moment indeed, although the Argives had the advantage, the coming of night deprived them of the decisiveness of victory, but on the next day the Lacedaemonians succeeded in winning because the Thessalians betrayed the Athenians.
§1.29.10καταλέξαι δέ μοι καὶ τούσδε ἐπῆλθεν, Ἀπολλόδωρον ξένων ἡγεμόνα, ὃς Ἀθηναῖος μὲν ἦν, ἐκπεμφθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ Ἀρσίτου σατράπου τῆς ἐφʼ Ἑλλησπόντῳ Φρυγίας διεφύλαξε Περινθίοις τὴν πόλιν ἐσβεβληκότος ἐς τὴν Περινθίαν Φιλίππου στρατῷ·
It also came to my mind to list these men: Apollodorus, a leader of mercenaries, who was an Athenian, but having been sent out by Arsites, satrap of Phrygia on the Hellespont, preserved their city for the Perinthians when Philip had invaded the territory of Perinthus with an army.
οὗτός τε οὖν ἐνταῦθα τέθαπται καὶ Εὔβουλος ὁ Σπινθάρου καὶ ἄνδρες οἷς ἀγαθοῖς οὖσιν οὐκ ἐπηκολούθησε τύχη χρηστή, τοῖς μὲν ἐπιθεμένοις τυραννοῦντι Λαχάρει, οἱ δὲ τοῦ Πειραιῶς κατάληψιν ἐβούλευσαν Μακεδόνων φρουρούντων, πρὶν δὲ εἰργάσθαι τὸ ἔργον ὑπὸ τῶν συνειδότων μηνυθέντες ἀπώλοντο.
He, therefore, is buried here, as well as Eubulus, the son of Spintharus, and men who, although they were brave, were not followed by good fortune—some having attacked the tyrant Lachares, while others planned the capture of the Piraeus while the Macedonians were keeping guard, but before the deed was accomplished, having been betrayed by those who were privy to it, they perished.
§1.29.11κεῖνται δὲ καὶ οἱ περὶ Κόρινθον πεσόντες· ἐδήλωσε δὲ οὐχ ἥκιστα ὁ θεὸς ἐνταῦθα καὶ αὖθις ἐν Λεύκτροις τοὺς ὑπὸ Ἑλλήνων καλουμένους ἀνδρείους τὸ μηδὲν ἄνευ Τύχης εἶναι, εἰ δὴ Λακεδαιμόνιοι, Κορινθίων τότε καὶ Ἀθηναίων, ἔτι δὲ καὶ Ἀργείων καὶ Βοιωτῶν κρατήσαντες, ὕστερον ὑπὸ Βοιωτῶν μόνων ἐν Λεύκτροις ἐς τοσοῦτον ἐκακώθησαν.
And those who fell around Corinth also lie here; and the god showed not least here, and again at Leuctra, that those called brave by the Greeks are nothing without Fortune, if indeed the Lacedaemonians, having then defeated the Corinthians and Athenians, and further also the Argives and Boeotians, were later so badly ruined by the Boeotians alone at Leuctra.
μετὰ δὲ τοὺς ἀποθανόντας ἐν Κορίνθῳ στήλην ἐπὶ τοῖσδε ἑστάναι τὴν αὐτὴν σημαίνει τὰ ἐλεγεῖα, τοῖς μὲν ἐν Εὐβοίᾳ καὶ Χίῳ τελευτήσασι, τοὺς δὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐσχάτοις τῆς Ἀσιανῆς ἠπείρου διαφθαρῆναι δηλοῖ, τοὺς δὲ ἐν Σικελίᾳ.
And after those who died in Corinth, the elegiac verses show that the same stele stands for these: for those who died in Euboea and Chios, and they show that some were destroyed at the extremities of the Asian continent, and others in Sicily.
§1.29.12γεγραμμένοι δέ εἰσιν οἵ τε στρατηγοὶ πλὴν Νικίου, καὶ τῶν στρατιωτῶν ὁμοῦ τοῖς ἀστοῖς Πλαταιεῖς· Νικίας δὲ ἐπὶ τῷδε παρείθη, γράφω δὲ οὐδὲν διάφορα ἢ Φίλιστος, ὃς ἔφη Δημοσθένην μὲν σπονδὰς ποιήσασθαι τοῖς ἄλλοις πλὴν αὑτοῦ καὶ ὡς ἡλίσκετο αὑτὸν ἐπιχειρεῖν ἀποκτεῖναι, Νικίᾳ δὲ τὴν παράδοσιν ἐθελοντῇ γενέσθαι· τούτων ἕνεκα οὐκ ἐνεγράφη Νικίας τῇ στήλῃ, καταγνωσθεὶς αἰχμάλωτος ἐθελοντὴς εἶναι καὶ οὐκ ἀνὴρ πολέμῳ πρέπων.
And there are inscribed both the generals, except Nicias, and of the soldiers, together with the citizens, the Plataeans; and Nicias was passed over for this reason, and I write nothing different from Philistus, who said that Demosthenes indeed made a treaty for the others except himself, and when he was being captured, attempted to kill himself, but for Nicias the surrender was voluntary; on account of these things Nicias was not inscribed on the stele, having been condemned as being a voluntary prisoner and not a man fit for war.
§1.29.13εἰσὶ δὲ ἐπʼ ἄλλῃ στήλῃ καὶ οἱ μαχεσάμενοι περὶ Θρᾴκην καὶ ἐν Μεγάροις καὶ ἡνίκα Ἀρκάδας τοὺς ἐν Μαντινείᾳ καὶ Ἠλείους ἔπεισεν Ἀλκιβιάδης Λακεδαιμονίων ἀποστῆναι καὶ οἱ πρὶν ἐς Σικελίαν ἀφικέσθαι Δημοσθένην Συρακουσίων κρατήσαντες.
And on another stele are also those who fought around Thrace and in Megara, and when Alcibiades persuaded the Arcadians in Mantinea and the Eleans to revolt from the Lacedaemonians, and those who defeated the Syracusans before Demosthenes arrived in Sicily.
ἐτάφησαν δὲ καὶ οἱ περὶ τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον ναυμαχήσαντες καὶ ὅσοι Μακεδόνων ἐναντία ἠγωνίσαντο ἐν Χαιρωνείᾳ καὶ οἱ μετὰ Κλέωνος ἐς Ἀμφίπολιν στρατεύσαντες, οἵ τε ἐν Δηλίῳ τῷ Ταναγραίων τελευτήσαντες καὶ ὅσους ἐς Θεσσαλίαν Λεωσθένης ἤγαγε καὶ οἱ πλεύσαντες ἐς Κύπρον ὁμοῦ Κίμωνι, τῶν τε σὺν Ὀλυμπιοδώρῳ τὴν φρουρὰν ἐκβαλόντων τριῶν καὶ δέκα ἄνδρες οὐ πλείους.
And those who fought naval battles around the Hellespont are also buried, and as many as fought against the Macedonians at Chaeronea, and those who campaigned with Cleon to Amphipolis, and those who died at Delium of the Tanagraeans, and those whom Leosthenes led into Thessaly, and those who sailed to Cyprus with Cimon, and of those who with Olympiodorus expelled the garrison, thirteen men and no more.
§1.29.14φασὶ δὲ Ἀθηναῖοι καὶ Ῥωμαίοις ὅμορόν τινα πολεμοῦσι πόλεμον στρατιὰν οὐ πολλὴν πέμψαι, καὶ ὕστερον ναυμαχίας Ῥωμαίων πρὸς Καρχηδονίους γινομένης τριήρεις πέντε Ἀττικαὶ παρεγένοντο· ἔστιν οὖν καὶ τούτοις ἐνταῦθα τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ὁ τάφος.
And the Athenians say that they also sent a small army to the Romans when they were fighting a neighboring war, and later, when a naval battle of the Romans against the Carthaginians was taking place, five Attic triremes arrived; therefore, for these men too there is a tomb here.
Τολμίδου δὲ καὶ τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ δεδήλωται μὲν ἤδη μοι τὰ ἔργα καὶ ὅν τρόπον ἐτελεύτησαν· ἴστω δὲ ὅτῳ φίλον κειμένους σφᾶς κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ταύτην.
And the deeds of Tolmides and those with him, and in what manner they died, have already been declared by me; and let anyone to whom it is pleasing know that they lie along this road.
κεῖνται δὲ καὶ οἱ σὺν Κίμωνι τὸ μέγα ἔργον πεζῇ καὶ ναυσὶν αὐθημερὸν κρατήσαντες· §1.29.15τέθαπται δὲ καὶ Κόνων καὶ Τιμόθεος, δεύτεροι μετὰ Μιλτιάδην καὶ Κίμωνα οὗτοι πατὴρ καὶ παῖς ἔργα ἀποδειξάμενοι λαμπρά.
And those with Cimon who achieved the great deed on land and ships on the same day also lie here; and Conon and Timotheus are also buried, who, second after Miltiades and Cimon, as father and son, displayed brilliant deeds.
κεῖται δὲ καὶ Ζήνων ἐνταῦθα ὁ Μνασέου καὶ Χρύσιππος ὁ Σολεύς, Νικίας τε ὁ Νικομήδους ζῷα ἄριστος γράψαι τῶν ἐφʼ αὑτοῦ, καὶ Ἁρμόδιος καὶ Ἀριστογείτων οἱ τὸν Πεισιστράτου παῖδα Ἵππαρχον ἀποκτείναντες, ῥήτορές τε Ἐφιάλτης, ὃς τὰ νόμιμα τὰ ἐν Ἀρείῳ πάγῳ μάλιστα ἐλυμήνατο, καὶ Λυκοῦργος ὁ Λυκόφρονος.
And Zeno, the son of Mnaseas, also lies here, and Chrysippus of Soli, and Nicias, the son of Nicomedes, the best of his time at painting animals, and Harmodius and Aristogeiton, who killed Hipparchus, the son of Pisistratus, and the rhetoricians Ephialtes, who did the greatest damage to the customs of the Areopagus, and Lycurgus, the son of Lycophron.
§1.29.16Λυκούργῳ δὲ ἐπορίσθη μὲν τάλαντα ἐς τὸ δημόσιον πεντακοσίοις πλείονα καὶ ἑξακισχιλίοις ἢ ὅσα Περικλῆς ὁ Ξανθίππου συνήγαγε, κατεσκεύασε δὲ πομπεῖα τῇ θεῷ καὶ Νίκας χρυσᾶς καὶ παρθένοις κόσμον ἑκατόν, ἐς δὲ πόλεμον ὅπλα καὶ βέλη καὶ τετρακοσίας ναυμαχοῦσιν εἶναι τριήρεις· οἰκοδομήματα δὲ ἐπετέλεσε μὲν τὸ θέατρον ἑτέρων ὑπαρξαμένων, τὰ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτοῦ πολιτείας ἃ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Πειραιεῖ νεώς εἰσιν οἶκοι καὶ τὸ πρὸς τῷ Λυκείῳ καλουμένῳ γυμνάσιον.
And for Lycurgus, six thousand five hundred more talents were provided for the public treasury than as many as Pericles, the son of Xanthippus, collected, and he prepared vessels for the procession to the goddess and golden Victories and ornaments for one hundred maidens, and for war, arms and missiles and four hundred triremes to be ready for naval battles; and as for buildings, he completed the theater, others having begun it, and the things built during his administration in the Piraeus are ship-houses and the gymnasium near the place called the Lyceum.
ὅσα μὲν οὖν ἀργύρου πεποιημένα ἦν καὶ χρυσοῦ, Λαχάρης καὶ ταῦτα ἐσύλησε τυραννήσας· τὰ δὲ οἰκοδομήματα καὶ ἐς ἡμᾶς ἔτι ἦν.
Now, as many things as were made of silver and gold, Lachares plundered these too when he became tyrant; but the buildings remained even to our time.
