Lysias, Funeral Oration, section 11 (search)
In a later time, when Heracles had vanished from amongst men, and his children were fleeing from Eurystheus and were expelled by all the Greeks, who were ashamed of these acts but afraid of Eurystheus' power, they came to this city, and seated themselves as suppliants at our altars.The sons of Heracles (Heracleidae; cf. Euripides' play of this name) were protected by the Athenians against their father's oppressor, Eurystheus, king of Argos, before their conquest of the Peloponnese
Lysias, Funeral Oration, section 13 (search)
Eurystheus marched against them with the people who held the Peloponnese at that time; yet they did not falter at the approach of the danger, but maintained the same resolve as before, though they had received no particular benefit at the father's hands, and could not tell what manner of men the sons would grow to be.
Lysias, Funeral Oration, section 15 (search)
So high was the spirit of both sides that Eurystheus and his forces sought no advantage from any offer of the Athenians, while the Athenians would not suffer Eurystheus, even at his own supplication, to take away their suppliants. Having arrayed their own sole force against the host assembled from the whole Peloponnese, they conquered them in battle, rescued the sons of Heracles from bodily peril, liberating also their souls by ridding them of fear, and by their own daring crowned the sons with the meed of their father's valor.
Lysias, Funeral Oration, section 45 (search)
Then the Athenians, in anger, advised them, if they meant to be of this mind, to encompass the whole Peloponnese with a wall: for if they themselves, betrayed by the Greeks, should be united with the barbarians, these on their part would have no need of a thousand ships, nor would the wall at the Isthmus help its builders, since the empire of the sea would belong without hazard to the King.

Lysias, Against Andocides, section 6 (search)
For Andocides is by no means unknown either to foreigners or to our own people, such has been the impiety of his conduct; since it needs must be that, if they are specially outstanding, either good or evil deeds make their doers well-known. And besides, during his absence abroad he has caused commotion in many cities, in Sicily, Italy, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, the Hellespont, Ionia and Cyprus: he has flattered many kings—everyone with whom he has had dealings, except Dionysius of Syracuse
Lysias, On the Property of Aristophanes, section 12 (search)
Now I will inform you, in the first place, of the way in which theyThe family of Aristophanes. became connected with us. Conon, who was in command of operations around the Peloponnese,393 B.C., when he succeeded in reestablishing some strongholds of the Athenians on the coasts of Laconia. and who had formed a friendship long before with my father when he equipped a warship, requested him to bestow my sister on her suitor, the son of Nicophemus.
