Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, Book 1, chapter 94 (search)
Meanwhile Pausanias, son of Cleombrotus, was
sent out from Lacedaemon as commander-in-chief of the Hellenes, with twenty
ships from Peloponnese.
With him sailed the Athenians with thirty ships, and a number of the other
allies.
They made an expedition against Cyprus and subdued most of the island, and
afterwards against Byzantium, which was in the hands of the Medes, and
compelled it to surrender.
This event took place while the Spartans were still supreme.

Before held in high honor by the Hellenes as
the hero of Plataea, Pausanias, after the receipt of this letter, became
prouder than ever, and could no longer live in the usual style, but went out
of Byzantium in a Median dress, was attended on his march through Thrace by
a bodyguard of Medes and Egyptians, kept a Persian table, and was quite
unable to contain his intentions, but betrayed by his conduct in trifles
what his ambition looked one day to enact on a grander scale.
He also made himself difficult of access, and displayed so violent a temper
to every one without exception that no one could come near him.
Indeed, this was the principal reason why the confederacy went over to the
Athenians.

The above-mentioned conduct, coming to the
ears of the Lacedaemonians, occasioned his first recall.
And after his second voyage out in the ship of Hermione, without their
orders, he gave proofs of similar behavior.
Besieged and expelled from Byzantium by the Athenians, he did not return to
Sparta; but news came that he had settled at Colonae in the Troad, and was
intriguing with the barbarians, and that his stay there was for no good
purpose; and the Ephors, now no longer hesitating, sent him a herald and a scytale
with orders to accompany the herald or be declared a public enemy.
Anxious above everything to avoid suspicion, and confident that he could
quash the charge by means of money, he returned a seco

On the fourth day after the sea-fight the
Athenians in Sestos having hastily refitted their ships sailed against
Cyzicus, which had revolted.
Off Harpagium and Priapus they sighted at anchor the eight vessels from
Byzantium, and sailing up and routing the troops on shore, took the ships,
and then went on and recovered the town of Cyzicus, which was unfortified,
and levied money from the citizens.
In the meantime the Peloponesians sailed from Abydos to Elaeus, and
recovered such of their captured galleys as were still uninjured, the rest
having been burned by the Elaeusians, and sent Hippocrates and Epicles to
Euboea to fetch the squadron from that island.
