Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, Book 1, chapter 108 (search)
The battle was fought at Tanagra in Boeotia.
After heavy loss on both sides victory declared for the Lacedaemonians and
their allies.
After entering the Megarid and cutting down the fruit trees, the
Lacedaemonians returned home across Geraneia and the isthmus.
Sixty-two days after the battle the Athenians marched into Boeotia under
the command of Myronides,
defeated the Boeotians in battle at Oenophyta, and became masters of
Boeotia and Phocis.
They dismantled the walls of the Tanagraeans, took a hundred of the richest
men of the Opuntian Locrians as hostages, and finished their own long walls.
This was followed by the surrender of the Aeginetans to Athens on

were mustering at Tanagra, and by the time that they had come in from all

The rest of the eleven Boeotarchs were against giving battle, as the enemy
was no longer in Boeotia, the Athenians being just over the Oropian border,
when they halted; but Pagondas, son of Aeolidas, one of the Boeotarchs of Thebes
(Arianthides, son of Lysimachidas, being the other), and
then commander-in-chief, thought it best to hazard a battle.
He accordingly called the men to him, company after company, to prevent
their all leaving their arms at once, and urged them to attack the
Athenians, and stand the issue of a battle, speaki

The Boeotians set up a trophy, took up their
own dead, and stripped those of the enemy, and leaving a guard over them
retired to Tanagra, there to take measures for attacking Delium.
Meanwhile a herald came from the Athenians to ask for the dead, but was met
and turned back by a Boeotian herald, who told him that he would effect
nothing until the return of himself the Boeotian herald, and who then went
on to the Athenians, and told them on the part of the Boeotians that they
had done wrong in transgressing the law of the Hellenes.
Of what use was the universal custom protecting the temples in an invaded
country if the Athenians were to fortify Delium and live there, acting
exactly as if they we
