Andocides, On the Peace, section 13 (search)
Now it is argued by some that present circumstances oblige us to continue fighting. Let us begin, then, gentlemen, by considering exactly why we are to fight. Everyone would agree, I think, that war is justified only so long as one is either suffering a wrong oneself or supporting the cause of another who has been wronged. Now we were both suffering a wrong ourselves and also supporting the cause of the Boeotians who had been wronged. If, then, Sparta guarantees that our wrongs shall cease, and if the Boeotians have decided to allow Orchomenus its independence and make peace, why are we to continue fighting?

remaining places they should attack next.
The Eleans were urgent for Lepreum; the Mantineans for Tegea; and the Argives and Athenians giving their support to the Mantineans,

Meanwhile the Lacedaemonians, upon their
return from Argos after concluding the four months' truce, vehemently blamed
Agis for not having subdued Argos, after an opportunity such as they thought

But when the news arrived of the capture of Orchomenos, they became more
angry than ever, and, departing from all precedent, in the heat of the
moment had almost decided to raze his house, and to fine him ten thousand
drachmae.
Agis however entreated them to do none of these things, promising to atone

to him whatever they pleased;

Virg., as Heyne remarks, has imitated
the reminiscences of the Homeric
heroes, e. g. Il. 3. 205 foll., where Antenor
recollects having entertained Menelaus and
Ulysses. Dido's recollection 1. 619 foll. is
of the same kind. Anchises was connected
with Arcadia in legend, his tomb being
shown at Mount Anchisia near Orchomenos,
Pausanias 8. 12. Hesione was
married to Telamon. Hesionae, which
is virtually the reading of Pal., Rom., and
Med., was restored by Heins. for Hesiones.
