Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, Book 1, chapter 57 (search)
These precautions against the Potidaeans were taken by the Athenians
immediately after the battle at Corcyra.
Not only was Corinth at length openly hostile, but Perdiccas, son of
Alexander, king of the Macedonians, had from an old friend and ally been
made an enemy.
He had been made an enemy by the Athenians entering into alliance with his
r Philip and Derdas, who were in league against him.
In his alarm he had sent to Lacedaemon to try and involve the Athenians in
a war with the Peloponnesians,
and was endeavoring to win over Corinth in
order to bring about the revolt of Potidaea.
He also made overtures to the Chalcidians in the direction of Thrace, and
to the Bottiaeans, to persuade them to join in the

The Athenians and Peloponnesians had these
antecedent grounds of complaint against each other: the complaint of Corinth
was that her colony of Potidaea, and Corinthian and Peloponnesian citizens
within it, were being besieged; that of Athens against the Peloponnesians that they had incited a town of
hers, a member of her alliance and a contributor toans that they had incited a town of
hers, a member of her alliance and a contributor to her revenue, to revolt,
and had come and were openly fighting against her on the side of the
Potidaeans.
For all this, war had not yet broken out: there was still truce for a
while; for this was a private enterprise on the part of Corinth.

In the retreat of the vanquished army, a considerable division, pressed by
the pursuers and mistaking the road, dashed into a field on some private
property, with a deep trench all round it, and no way out.
Being acquainted with the place, the Athenians hemmed their front with
heavy infantry, and placing the light troops round in a circle, stoned all
who had gone in.
Corinth here suffered a severe blow.
The bulk of her army continued its retreat home.

Meanwhile the Athenians in the hundred
vessels were still cruising round Peloponnese.
After taking Sollium, a town belonging to Corinth, and presenting the city
and territory to the Acarnanians of Palaira, they stormed Astacus, expelled
its tyrant Evarchus, and gained the place for their confederacy.
Next they sailed to the island of Cephallenia and brought it over without
using force.
Cephallenia lies off Acarnania and Leucas, and consists of four states, the
Paleans, Cranians, Samaeans, and Pronaeans.
Not long afterwards the fleet returned to Athens.

Such were the events of the summer.
The ensuing winter the Athenians sent twenty ships round Peloponnese, under
the command of Phormio, who stationed himself at Naupactus and kept watch
against any one sailing in or out of Corinth and the Crissaean gulf.
Six others went to Caria and Lycia under Melesander, to collect tribute in
those parts, and also to prevent the Peloponnesian privateers from taking up
their station in those waters and molesting the passage of the merchantmen
from Phaselis and Phoenicia and the adjoining continent.
However, Melesander, going up the country into Lycia with a force of
Athenians from the ships and the allies, was defeated and killed in battle,
with the loss of a number of

The Acarnanians, finding themselves invaded
by a large army by land, and from the sea threatened by a hostile fleet,
made no combined attempt at resistance, but remained to defend their homes,
and sent for help to Phormio, who replied that when a fleet was on the point
of sailing from Corinth, it was impossible for him to leave Naupactus
unprotected.
The Peloponnesians meanwhile and their allies advanced upon Stratus in
three divisions, with the intention of encamping near it and attempting the
wall by force if they failed to succeed by negotiation.
The order of march was as follows: the center was occupied by the Chaonians
and the rest of the barbarians, with the Leucadians and Anactorians and

Meanwhile the fleet from Corinth and the rest
of the confederates in the Crissaean gulf, which was to have co-operated
with Cnemus and prevented the coast Acarnanians from joining their
countrymen in the interior, was disabled from doing so by being compelled
about the same time as the battle at Stratus to fight with Phormio and the
twenty Athenian vessels stationed at Naupactus.
For they were watched, as they coasted along out of the gulf, by Phormio,
who wished to attack in the open sea.
But the Corinthians and allies had started for Acarnania without any idea
of fighting at sea, and with vessels more like transports for carrying
soldiers; besides which, they never dreamed of the twenty Athen
