Andocides, On the Peace, section 31 (search)
Later,Actually in 419. Andocides is thinking of Alcibiades' descent on Epidaurus in support of the Argives, who had already invaded her territory by land. The expedition was made in virtue of the alliance of the previous year between Athens, Argos, Elis, and Mantinea. the same Argives who are here today to persuade us to continue the war, induced us to arouse Sparta's anger by making a naval descent upon Laconia while at peace with her, an act which was responsible for endless disasters; from it sprang a war which ended with our being forced to demolish our walls, to surrender our fleet, and to restore our exiles. Yet what help did we receive in our misfortunes from Argos who had drawn us into the war? What danger did she brave for Athens?

But perhaps we shall
admit that that is how matters ought to stand, but feel that it is monstrous to
choose as our allies the men whose ranks we faced at Mantinea,The Athenians fought on the left wing of the Lacedaemonians at Mantinea against Thebans, Arcadians
and other allies of Thebes. and even to help them against those with whom we
shared the dangers of that battle. And I too am of that opinion, but I think us to
choose as our allies the men whose ranks we faced at Mantinea,The Athenians fought on the left wing of the Lacedaemonians at Mantinea against Thebans, Arcadians

must add the saving clause, “if the others consent to do what is
just.

But if the Lacedaemonians act unjustly and insist on
fighting, then, on the one hand, if the only question to be decided is whether
we shall abandon Megalopolis to
them or not, just indeed it is not, but I for my part agree to allow it and to
offer no opposition to the people who shared the same dangers with usAt Mantinea.; but, on the other hand, if you are all
aware that the capture of Megalopolis will be followed by an attack on Messene, I ask any of those who are now so
hard on the Megalopolitans to tell me what he will advise us to do then.

Then there
is another argument that astonishes me; that if we make an alliance with the
Arcadians and act upon it, our city will seem to be changing its policy and
breaking faith. For to me, men of Athens, the exact opposite seems to be the case. How so?
Because I do not think any one man would deny that Athens has saved the Lacedaemonians, and
the Thebans before them, and the Euboeans recently,The references are to the battle of Mantinea (362), the
alliance with Thebes against
Sparta in 378, and the
deliverance of Euboea from the
Thebans in 357. and has afterwards made alliance with them, having
always one and the same object in vi
