Meanwhile Orestes, son of Echecratidas, the
Thessalian king, being an exile from Thessaly, persuaded the Athenians to
restore him.
Taking with them the Boeotians and Phocians their allies, the Athenians
marched to Pharsalus in Thessaly.
They became masters of the country, though only in the immediate vicinity
ofThessaly.
They became masters of the country, though only in the immediate vicinity
of the camp; beyond which they could not go for fear of the Thessalian cavalry.
But they failed to take the city or to attain any of the other objects of
their expedition, and returned home with Orestes without having effected
anything.
Not long after this a thousand of the Athenians embarked in the vessels
that were at Pegae (Pegae, it must be remembered, was now

In this way Brasidas hurried through Thessaly
before any one could be got ready to stop him, and reached Perdiccas and
Chalcidice.
The departure of the army from Peloponnese had been procured by the
Thracian towns in revolt against Athens and by Perdiccus, alarmed at the
successes of the Athenians.
The Chalcidians thought that they would be the first objects of an Athenian
expedition, not that the neighbouring towns which had not yet revolted did
not also secretly join in the invitation; and Perdiccas also had his apprehensions on account of his old quarrels
with the Athenians, although not openly at war with them, and above all
wished to reduce Arrhabaeus king of the Lyncestians.

With the beginning of the winter following
Ramphias and his companions penetrated as far as Pierium in Thessaly; but as the Thessalians opposed their further advance, and Brasidas whom
they came to reinforce was dead, they turned back home, thinking that the
moment had gone by, the Athenians being defeated and gone, and themselves
not equal to the execution of Brasidas' designs.
The main cause however of their return was because they knew that when they
set out, Lacedaemonian opinion was really in favour of peace.

Indeed it so happened that directly after the
battle of Amphipolis and the retreat of Ramphias from Thessaly, both sides
ceased to prosecute the war and turned their attention to peace.
Athens had suffered severely at Delium, and again shortly afterwards at
Amphipolis, and had no longer that confidence in her strength which had made
her before refuse to treat, in the belief of ultimate victory which her
success at the moment had inspired;
besides, she was afraid of her allies being tempted by her reverses to
rebel more generally, and repented having let go the splendid opportunity
for peace which the affair of Pylos had offered.
Lacedaemon, on the other hand, found the event of the war falsify her
