Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, Book 3, chapter 92 (search)
About this time the Lacedaemonians founded
their colony of Heraclea in Trachis, their object being the following.
The Malians form in all three tribes, the Paralians, the Hiereans, and the
Trachinians.
The last of these having suffered severely in a war with their neighbors
the Oetaeans, at first intended to give themselves up to Athens; but afterwards fearing not to find in her the security that they sought,
sent to Lacedaemon, having chosen Tisamenus for their ambassador.
In this embassy joined also the Dorians from the mother country of the
Lacedaemonians, with the same request, as they themselves also suffered from
the same enemy.
After hearing them, the Lacedaemonians determined to send out

The same summer the Aetolians, who before the
Athenian expedition had sent an embassy to Corinth and Lacedaemon, composed
of Tolophus, an Ophionian, Boriades, an Eurytanian, and Tisander, an
Apodotian, obtained that an army should be sent them against Naupactus,
which had invited the Athenian invasion.
The Lacedaemonians accordingly sent off towards autumn three thousand heavy
infantry of the allies, five hundred of whom were from Heraclea, the
newly-founded city in Trachis, under the command of Eurylochus, a Spartan,
accompanied by Macarius and Menedaius, also Spartans.

About the same time in the summer, Brasidas
set out on his march for the Thracian places with seventeen hundred heavy
infantry, and arriving at Heraclea in Trachis, from thence sent on a
messenger to his friends at Pharsalus, to ask them to conduct himself and
his army through the country.
Accordingly there came to Melitia in Achaia Panaerus, Dorus, Hippolochidas,
Torylaus, and Strophacus, the Chalcidian Proxenus, under whose escort he
resumed his march,
being accompanied also by other Thessalians, among whom was Niconidas from
Larissa, a friend of Perdiccas.
It was never very easy to traverse Thessaly without an escort; and throughout all Hellas for an armed force to pass without leave through

About the same time three
Lacedaemonians—Ramphias, Autocharidas, and
Epicydidas—led a reinforcement of nine hundred heavy infantry to
the towns in the direction of Thrace, and arriving at Heraclea in Trachis
reformed matters there as seemed good to them.
While they delayed there, this battle took place and so the summer ended.
