Andocides, Against Alcibiades, section 13 (search)
I am astonished, furthermore, at those who are persuaded that Alcibiades is a lover of democracy, that form of government which more than any other would seem to make equality its end. They are not using his private life as evidence of his character, in spite of the fact that his greed and his arrogance are plain to them. On his marriage with the sister of Callias he received a dowry of ten talents; yet after HipponicusFor Hipponicus and Callius cf. Andoc. 1.115, 130. had lost his life as one of the generals at Delium,In 424 B.C. Demosthenes and Hippocrates planned a joint invasion of Boeotia. The scheme miscarried; and the Athenians were heavily defeated at Delium. he exacted another ten, on the ground that Hipponicus had agreed to add this further sum as soon as Alcibiades should have a child by his daughter.

Artaxerxes, the king
of the Persians, diedIn the spring of 424 B.C. after a reign of forty years, and Xerxes succeeded to the throne and
ruled for a year.In Italy, when the Aequi revolted from the Romans, in the war which followed Aulus
Postumius was made Dictator and Lucius Julius was named Master of the Horse. And the Romans, having marched against the territory of the rebels with
a large and strong army, first of all plundered their possessions, and when the Aequi later
drew up against them, a battle ensued in which the Romans were victorious, slaying many of the
enemy, taking not a few captive, and capturing great quantities of booty. After the battle the revolters, being broken in spirit because of the
defeat, submitted themselves to the Romans, and Postumius, because he had conducted the war
brilliantly, as the Romans thought, celebrated the customary triumph. And Postumius, we are
told, did a peculiar thing and altogether unbelievabl
424 B.C.At the close of this year, in Athens the
archon was Isarchus and in Rome the consuls elected
were Titus Quinctius and Gaius Julius, and among the Eleians the Eighty-ninth Olympiad was
celebrated, that in which SymmachusOf Messene; cp. chap. 49.1. won the "stadion" for the
second time. This year the Athenians chose as general Nicias, the son of Niceratus, and
assigning to him sixty triremes and three thousand hoplites, they ordered him to plunder the
allies of the Lacedaemonians. He sailed to Melos as the first place, where he ravaged their territory and
for a number of days laid siege to the city; for it was the only island of the Cyclades which was maintaining its alliance with the
Lacedaemonians, being a Spartan colony. Nicias was unable to
take the city, however, since the Melians defended themselves gallantly, and he then sailed to

after disregarding the agreement which we all make with the state, he insists on his private contract with me, as if anyone would believe that a man who made light of his duty to you would have cared about his obligations to me. He is so degraded and so true to type wherever he is, that even after his arrival at Troezen when they had made him a citizen he became the tool of Mnesias the ArgiveMnesias the Argive is mentioned as a traitor by Demosthenes. (See Dem. 18.295, where, however, the name is spelt *mnase/as.) and, after being made a magistrate by him, expelled the citizens from the city. The men themselves will bear witness to this; for they are here in exile.As these men were still in Athens, Alexander's decree of 424 B.C., providing that exiles should return, cannot yet have been issued. Hence we have a terminus ante quem for the spee
As Agesipolis died childless, the kingdom devolved upon Cleombrotus, who was general in the battle at Leuctra against the Boeotians.371 B.C. Cleombrotus showed personal bravery, but fell when the battle was only just beginning. In great disasters Providence is peculiarly apt to cut off early the general, just as the Athenians lost Hippocrates the son of Ariphron, who commanded at Delium, and later on Leosthenes in Thessaly.424 B.C.
Agesipolis, the elder of the sons of Cleombrotus, is not a striking figure in history, and was succeeded by his younger brother Cleomenes. His first son was Acrotatus, his second Cleonymus. Acrotatus did not outlive his father, and when Cleomenes afterwards died, there arose a dispute about the throne between Cleonymus the son of Cleomenes and Areus the son of Acrotatus. So the senators acted as arbitrators, and decided that the dignity was the inheritance of Areus the son of Acrotatus, and not of Cleonymus.
Deprived of his kingship Cleonymus became violentl
