Mindarus, the
Lacedaemonian admiral, after his flight to Abydus from
the scene of his defeat repaired the ships that had been damaged and also sent the Spartan
Epicles to the triremes at Euboea with orders to bring
them with all speed. When Epicles arrived at Euboea, he gathered the ships, which amounted to fifty, and
hurriedly put out to sea; but when the triremes were off Mt. Athos there arose a storm of such fury that all the ships were lost and of their
crews twelve men alone survived. These facts are set forth by
a dedication, as Ephorus states, which stands in the temple at Coroneia and bears the following
inscription:
These from the crews of fifty ships, escaping destruction,
Brought their bodies to land hard by Athos' sharp crags;
Only twelve, all the rest the yawning depth of the waters
Took to their death with their ships, meeting with terrible winds.
