§3.10.1οὐ πολλῷ δὲ ὕστερον τὸν ἀγῶνα ἔθηκαν τῶν Ἰσθμίων οἱ ἐπὶ λακωνισμῷ φεύγοντες Κορίνθιοι.
Not long afterwards, those Corinthians who were in exile on account of their Lacedaemonian sympathies celebrated the Isthmian games.
οἱ δὲ ἐν τῇ πόλει τότε μὲν τῷ Ἀγησιλάου δείματι ἡσύχαζον· ἀναζεύξαντος δὲ ἐς τὴν Σπάρτην, οὕτω καὶ αὐτοὶ μετὰ Ἀργείων τὰ Ἴσθμια ἄγουσιν.
At that time, those in the city remained quiet through fear of Agesilaus; but when he withdrew to Sparta, they too in this way celebrated the Isthmian games with the Argives.
ἀφίκετο δὲ καὶ αὖθις ἐπὶ Κόρινθον στρατιᾷ· καὶ—ἐπῄει γὰρ Ὑακίνθια—ἀφίησι τοὺς Ἀμυκλαιεῖς οἴκαδε ἀπελθόντας τὰ καθεστηκότα τῷ τε Ἀπόλλωνι καὶ Ὑακίνθῳ δρᾶσαι.
Agesilaus came again with an army against Corinth; and—for the Hyacinthia was approaching—he dismissed the Amyclaeans to go home and perform the customary rites for Apollo and Hyacinthus.
ταύτην τὴν μοῖραν ἐπιθέμενοι καθʼ ὁδὸν Ἀθηναῖοι καὶ Ἰφικράτης διέφθειραν·
The Athenians and Iphicrates, attacking this detachment on the road, destroyed them.
§3.10.2Ἀγησίλαος δὲ καὶ ἐς Αἰτωλίαν ἐπικουρήσων ἀφίκετο Αἰτωλοῖς ὑπὸ Ἀκαρνάνων πολέμῳ πιεζομένοις, καὶ Ἀκαρνᾶνας ἠνάγκασε καταλύσασθαι τὸν πόλεμον οὐ πολὺ ἀποδέοντας Καλυδῶνα καὶ τὰ ἄλλα Αἰτωλῶν πολίσματα ᾑρηκέναι.
Agesilaus also arrived in Aetolia to help the Aetolians when they were hard pressed in war by the Acarnanians, and he forced the Acarnanians to make peace, when they were not far from having captured Calydon and the other towns of the Aetolians.
χρόνῳ δὲ ὕστερον ἔπλευσε καὶ ἐς Αἴγυπτον, ἀφεστηκότων ἀπὸ βασιλέως τῶν Αἰγυπτίων βοηθήσων· καὶ ἔστιν Ἀγησιλάῳ πολλά τε εἰργασμένα καὶ μνήμης ἄξια ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ.
At a later time, he sailed to Egypt as well, to help the Egyptians who had revolted from the King; and there are many deeds accomplished by Agesilaus in Egypt that are worthy of mention.
καὶ—ἦν γὰρ δὴ ἤδη γέρων—τὸν μὲν κατὰ τὴν πορείαν ἐπέλαβεν ἡ μοῖρα· Λακεδαιμόνιοι δέ, ὡς ἐκομίσθη σφίσιν ὁ νεκρός, θάπτουσιν αὐτὸν βασιλέων τιμήσαντες μάλιστα.
And—for indeed he was already an old man—death overtook him on the journey; and the Lacedaemonians, when his body was brought home to them, buried him, honoring him more than any other of their kings.
§3.10.3Ἀρχιδάμου δὲ τοῦ Ἀγησιλάου βασιλεύοντος κατέλαβον τὸ ἱερὸν Φωκεῖς τὸ ἐν Δελφοῖς.
While Archidamus, the son of Agesilaus, was king, the Phocians seized the sanctuary at Delphi.
Θηβαίοις μὲν δὴ πολεμεῖν τοῖς Φωκεῦσιν ἀφίκετο μὲν καὶ ἰδίᾳ συμμαχικὰ ἐπὶ χρήμασιν, ἀπὸ δὲ κοινοῦ λόγου Λακεδαιμόνιοί τε καὶ Ἀθηναῖοί σφισιν ἤμυνον, οἱ μὲν ἀρχαίαν δή τινα ἐκ τῶν Φωκέων μνημονεύοντες εὐεργεσίαν, Λακεδαιμόνιοι δὲ προφάσει μὲν καὶ οὗτοι φιλίας, κατὰ ἔχθος δὲ ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν τὸ Θηβαίων.
To help the Phocians in their war against the Thebans, allied forces indeed came privately for money; but by public agreement, both the Lacedaemonians and the Athenians aided them, the latter remembering some ancient service on the part of the Phocians, and the Lacedaemonians, though they too alleged friendship as a pretext, did so, in my opinion, out of hatred for the Thebans.
Θεόπομπος δὲ ὁ Δαμασιστράτου τόν τε Ἀρχίδαμον μετασχεῖν τῶν χρημάτων αὐτὸν καὶ ἔτι Δεινίχαν τὴν Ἀρχιδάμου γυναῖκα παρὰ τῶν δυναστευόντων ἐν Φωκεῦσιν ἔφη λαμβάνουσαν δωρεὰν ἑτοιμότερον ποιεῖν σφισιν ἐς τὴν συμμαχίαν Ἀρχίδαμον.
And Theopompus, the son of Damasistratus, said that Archidamus himself shared in the money, and furthermore, that Deinicha, the wife of Archidamus, by receiving gifts from the rulers of the Phocians, made Archidamus more ready to enter into the alliance with them.
§3.10.4τὸ μὲν δὴ χρήματα ἱερὰ δέξασθαι καὶ ἀνδράσιν ἀμῦναι μαντείων πορθήσασι τὸ ἐπιφανέστατον οὐκ ἐς ἔπαινον τίθεμαι, τοσοῦτον δέ οἱ πρόσεστιν ἐς ἔπαινον· Δελφῶν γὰρ τούς τε ἡβῶντας ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ γυναῖκας καὶ τέκνα ἐξανδραποδίσασθαι, καταβαλεῖν δὲ καὶ αὐτὴν ἐς ἔδαφος τὴν πόλιν ἐτόλμων οἱ Φωκεῖς· ταῦτα οὖν μὴ παθεῖν ὑπὸ τῶν Φωκέων αὐτοὺς παρῃτήσατο Ἀρχίδαμος.
Indeed, I do not count it as a credit to him to have accepted sacred money and to have aided men who plundered the most famous of oracles, but this much credit belongs to him: the Phocians were daring to put to death the Delphians of military age, to reduce the women and children to slavery, and to raze the city itself to the ground; Archidamus, therefore, interceded for them that they should not suffer these things at the hands of the Phocians.
§3.10.5διέβη δὲ καὶ ἐς Ἰταλίαν ὕστερον Ταραντίνοις βαρβάρων πόλεμον συνδιοίσων σφίσιν ὁμόρων· καὶ ἀπέθανέ τε αὐτόθι ὑπὸ τῶν βαρβάρων καὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν νεκρὸν ἁμαρτεῖν τάφου τὸ μήνιμα ἐγένετο ἐμποδὼν τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος.
He also crossed over to Italy later to help the Tarentines in their war against the neighboring barbarians; and he died there at the hands of the barbarians, and the anger of Apollo prevented his body from receiving a burial.
τοῦ δὲ Ἀρχιδάμου τούτου τὸν μὲν πρεσβύτερον παῖδα Ἆγιν κατέλαβεν ἀποθανεῖν Μακεδόσιν ἐναντία καὶ Ἀντιπάτρῳ μαχεσάμενον, Εὐδαμίδας δὲ ὁ νεώτερος Λακεδαιμονίοις ἐβασίλευσεν ἄγουσιν εἰρήνην.
Of this Archidamus, his elder son Agis met his death fighting against the Macedonians and Antipater, while Eudamidas, the younger, reigned over the Lacedaemonians while they were at peace.
τὰ δὲ ἐς Ἆγιν τὸν Εὐδαμίδου καὶ ἐς Εὐρυδαμίδαν τὸν Ἄγιδος ὡς ἔσχεν, ἤδη μοι καὶ τάδε ἡ Σικυωνία συγγραφὴ διεξῄει.
The fortunes of Agis the son of Eudamidas, and of Eurydamidas the son of Agis, have already been detailed for me by the Sicyonian narrative.
§3.10.6ἰοῦσι δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν Ἑρμῶν ἐστιν ὁ τόπος οὗτος ἅπας δρυῶν πλήρης·
To those going from the Hermas, this whole district is full of oak trees.
τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῷ χωρίῳ Σκοτίταν οὐ τὸ συνεχὲς τῶν δένδρων ἐποίησεν, ἀλλὰ Ζεὺς ἐπίκλησιν ἔσχε Σκοτίτας, καὶ ἔστιν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ δέκα μάλιστά που στάδια ἐκτραπομένοις ἱερὸν Σκοτίτα Διός.
The name Scotitas was given to the place not because of the thickness of the trees, but because Zeus has the surname Scotitas, and on the left of the road, about ten stades away if you turn off, is a sanctuary of Zeus Scotitas.
ἐπανελθόντων δὲ ἐντεῦθεν προελθοῦσιν ὀλίγον καὶ τραπεῖσιν αὖθις ἐς ἀριστερὰν ἄγαλμά ἐστιν Ἡρακλέους καὶ τρόπαιον· ἀναστῆσαι δὲ ἐλέγετο Ἡρακλῆς ἀποκτείνας Ἱπποκόωντα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας.
Returning thence, if you go on a little and turn again to the left, there is an image of Heracles and a trophy; Heracles was said to have set it up after killing Hippocoon and his sons.
§3.10.7τρίτη δὲ ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς εὐθείας ἐκβολὴ κατὰ τὰ δεξιὰ ἐς Καρύας ἄγει καὶ ἐς τὸ ἱερὸν τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος.
The third branch leading from the straight road on the right brings you to Caryae and to the sanctuary of Artemis.
τὸ γὰρ χωρίον Ἀρτέμιδος καὶ Νυμφῶν ἐστιν αἱ Κάρυαι καὶ ἄγαλμα ἕστηκεν Ἀρτέμιδος ἐν ὑπαίθρῳ Καρυάτιδος·
For Caryae is a place sacred to Artemis and the Nymphs, and an image of Artemis Caryatis stands there in the open air.
χοροὺς δὲ ἐνταῦθα αἱ Λακεδαιμονίων παρθένοι κατὰ ἔτος ἱστᾶσι καὶ ἐπιχώριος αὐταῖς καθέστηκεν ὄρχησις.
Here the Lacedaemonian maidens hold choral dances every year, and a local dance is established among them.
ἀναστρέψαντι δὲ καὶ κατὰ τὴν λεωφόρον ἰόντι ἐρείπια Σελλασίας ἐστί· ταύτην, καθὰ καὶ πρότερον ἔγραψα, ἠνδραποδίσαντο Ἀχαιοὶ Λακεδαιμονίους καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Κλεομένην τὸν Λεωνίδου μάχῃ νικήσαντες.
If you turn back and go along the highway, there are the ruins of Sellasia; this town, as I wrote previously, the Achaeans reduced to slavery after defeating the Lacedaemonians and Cleomenes, the king who was the son of Leonidas, in battle.
§3.10.8ἐν δὲ Θόρνακι—ἐς γὰρ τοῦτον ἀφίξῃ προϊών—ἄγαλμά ἐστι Πυθαέως Ἀπόλλωνος κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ τῷ ἐν Ἀμύκλαις πεποιημένον· τὸ δὲ σχῆμα ὁποῖόν ἐστιν, ἐπʼ ἐκείνῳ γράψω.
In Thornax—for you will come to this if you go forward—there is an image of Apollo Pythaeus, made after the same fashion as the one at Amyclae; what its shape is, I will describe in my account of the latter.
Λακεδαιμονίοις γὰρ ἐπιφανέστερά ἐστι τὰ ἐς τὸν Ἀμυκλαῖον, ὥστε καὶ τὸν χρυσόν, ὃν Κροῖσος ὁ Λυδὸς τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι ἔπεμψε τῷ Πυθαεῖ, τούτῳ ἐς κόσμον τοῦ ἐν Ἀμύκλαις κατεχρήσαντο ἀγάλματος.
For to the Lacedaemonians the affairs of the Amyclaean Apollo are more famous, so that they even used the gold, which Croesus the Lydian sent to Apollo Pythaeus, to adorn the image at Amyclae.
