Immediately afterwards an Elean embassy
arrived, and first making an alliance with Corinth went on from thence to
Argos, according to their instructions, and became allies of the Argives,
their country being just then at enmity with Lacedaemon and Lepreum.
Some time back there had been a war between the Lepreans and some of the
Arcadians; and the Eleans being called in by the former with the offer of half their
lands, had put an end to the war, and leaving the land in the hands of its
Leprean occupiers had imposed upon them the tribute of a talent to the
Olympian Zeus.
Till the Attic war this tribute was paid by the Lepreans, who then took the
war as an excuse for no longer doing so, and upon t

Although the treaty and alliances were thus
concluded, still the treaty between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians was not
renounced by either party.
Meanwhile Corinth, although the ally of the Argives, did not accede to the
new treaty, any more than she had done to the alliance, defensive and
offensive, formed before this between the Eleans, Argives, and Mantineans,
when she declared herself content with the first alliance, which was
defensive only, and which bound them to help each other, but not to join in
attacking any.
The Corinthians thus stood aloof from their allies, and again turned their
thoughts towards Lacedaemon.

The same summer war broke out between the
Epidaurians and Argives.
The pretext was that the Epidaurians did not send an offering for their
pasture-land to Apollo Pythaeus, as they were bound to do, the Argives
having the chief management of the temple; but, apart from this pretext, Alcibiades and the Argives were determined,
if possible, to gain possession of Epidaurus, and thus to insure the
neutrality of Corinth and give the Athenians a shorter passage for their
reinforcement from Aegina than if they had to sail round Scyllaeum.
The Argives accordingly prepared to invade Epidaurus by themselves, to
exact the offering.

While the battle was impending, Pleistoanax,
the other king, set out with a reinforcement composed of the oldest and
youngest men, and got as far as Tegea, where he heard of the victory and
went back again.
The Lacedaemonians also sent and turned back the allies from Corinth and
from beyond the Isthmus, and returning themselves dismissed their allies,
and kept the Carnean holidays, which happened to be at that time.
The imputations cast upon them by the Hellenes at the time, whether of
cowardice on account of the disaster in the island, or of mismanagement and
slowness generally, were all wiped out by this single action: fortune, it
was thought, might have humbled them, but the men themselves w
