Melos refused to pay the increased tribute demanded of her, and during the years which followed displayed a general defiance of Athens. Athens finally acted in the summer of 416. A fleet attacked the island, the male population was massacred, and the women and children sold as slaves.

Besides all this, my mother is shown to have

Pylos,This was in 425 B.C. The account is given in Thuc.
4.3 ff. and won greater renown than any other man in the
state; so it was not fitting that the son of that famous man should wed my
mother without a dowry, nor is it likely that Menexenus and Bathyllus, who had
large fortunes themselves, and who, after Cleomedon's death, received back the
dowry, defrauded their own sister; rather, they would themselves have added to
her portion, when they gave her in marriage
425 B.C.When Stratocles was archon in Athens, in
Rome in place of consuls three military tribunes
were elected, Lucius Furius, Spurius Pinarius, and Gaius Metellus.These names are badly confused. They should be L. Pinarius Mamercinus Rufus,
L. Furius Medullinus Fusus, and Sp. Postumius Albus Regillensis. This year the
Athenians chose Demosthenes general and sent him forth with thirty ships and an adequate body
of soldiers. He added to his force fifteen ships from the Cercyraeans and soldiers from the
Cephallenians, Acarnanians, and the Messenians in Naupactus, and then sailed to Leucas.
After ravaging the territory of the Leucadians he sailed to Aetolia and plundered many of its villages. But the Aetolians rallied to oppose
him and there was a battle in which the Athenians were defeated, whereupon they withdrew to
Naupactus. The
Aetolians, elated by their victory, after adding to their army three thousand Lacedaemonian
soldiers
The Dorian Messenian who received Naupactus from the Athenians dedicated at Olympia the image of Victory upon the pillar. It is the work of Paeonius of Mende, and was made from the proceeds of enemy spoils,circa 430 B.C. I think from the war with the Arcarnanians and Oeniadae. The Messenians themselves declare that their offering came from their exploit with the Athenians in the island of Sphacteria,425 B.C. and that the name of their enemy was omitted through dread of the Lacedaemonians; for, they say, they are not in the least afraid of Oeniadae and the Acarnanians.
The offerings of Micythus I found were numerous and not together. Next after Iphitus of Elis, and Echecheiria crowning Iphitus, come the following offerings of Micythus: Amphitrite, Poseidon and Hestia; the artist was Glaucus the Argive.circa 460 B.C. Along the left side of the great temple Micythus dedicated other offerings: the Maid, daughter of Demeter, Aphrodite, Ganymedes and Artemis, the poets Homer and Hesiod, then
and they were the first to be honored by the State and laid to rest in this tomb. Later on, when there was widespread war, and all the Greeks had marched against us and ravaged our country, most evilly requiting our city, and our men had defeated them by sea and had captured their Lacedaemonian leaders in Sphagia,i.e. Sphacteria. These events took place in 425 B.C., the seventh year of the Peloponnesian War. although they had it in their power to destroy them, yet they spared their lives and gave them back
