Do you know?CompanionFrom Crete, so they say.SocratesThen the people there use the most ancient laws in Greece?CompanionYes.SocratesThen do you know who were their good kings? Minos and Rhadamanthus, the sons of Zeus and Europa; those laws were theirs.CompanionRhadamanthus, they do say, Socrates, was a just man; but Minos was a savage sort of person, harsh and unjust.SocratesYour tale, my excellent friend, is a fiction of Attic tragedy.
So it was that these men, being themselves of the character described and always justly administering in some such fashion both their own land and Hellas, were famous throughout all Europe and Asia both for their bodily beauty and for the perfection of their moral excellence, and were of all men then living the most renowned. And now, if we have not lost recollection of what we heard when we were still children,Cf. Tim. 21 A ff. we will frankly impart to you all, as friends, our story of the men who warred against our Athenians, what their state was and how it originally came about.
This they now proved by their triumph in the war when the Greeks were at feud, and by their conquest of those who were the leaders of the rest of Greece, when, alone by themselves, they defeated that city by whose allied aid they had formerly defeated the barbarians. This peace was followed by a third war, as formidable as it was unexpected, wherein many brave men lost their lives and now lie here. Many of these reared up numerous trophies of victory in Sicily,The second Sicilian expedition took place in 413 B.C. fighting for the freedom
that the rest of the Greeks were trained and accustomed to have no fear of the barbarians, neither by land, as our soldiers taught them, nor yet, as our sailors taught them, by sea. The exploit at PlataeaAt Plataea the Persians under Mardonius were defeated in 479 B.C. I put third both in order and in merit of those which secured the salvation of Greece; and in this exploit, at last, the Lacedaemonians cooperated with the Athenians. By the action of all these men the greatest and most formidable danger was warded off, and because of this their valor
and him the king ordered to bring back the Eretrians and Athenians in captivity, if he wished to keep his own head. He then sailed to Eretria against men who were amongst the most famous warriors in Greece at that time, and by no means few in number; them he overpowered within three days, and lest any should escape he made a thorough search of the whole of their country and his method was this. His soldiers marched to the limits of Eretria and posted themselves at intervals from sea to sea;
deeming it their duty to fight in the cause of freedom alike with Greeks on behalf of Greeks and with barbarians on behalf of the whole of Greece. The story of how they repulsed EumolpusEumolpus, a Tracian bard and chieftain, son of Poseidon, said to have aided the Eleusinians in invading Attica. and the Amazons,The Amazons, a race of female warriors in Pontus, said to have attacked Athens and been driven back to Asia by the hero Theseus. and still earlier invaders, when they marched upon our country, and how they defended the Argives against the Cadmeiansi.e. in the war of “the Seven against Thebes” (of which city Cadmus was the founder). and the Heracleidae against the Argives,The Athenians aided “the sons of Heracles” against Eurystheus, King of Tiryns in Argolis. is a story which our time is too short to relate as it deserves, and already their valor has been adequately celebrated in song by poets who have made it known throughout the

the sea-fight at the Eurymedon,The Athenians, under Cimdon, defeated the Persian forces, both by land and sea, at the river Eurymedon, in Pamphylia, in 468 (cf. Thucyd. i. 100). the men who served in the expedition against Cyprus, the men who voyaged to Egypt and to many another quarter,These naval operations (against Persia) took place about 461-458 B.C.—men whom we ought to hold in memory and render them thanks, seeing that they put the king in fear and caused him to give his whole mind to his own safety in place of plotting the destruction of Greece.Now this war was endured to the end by all our citizens who warred against the barbarian
and at Artemisium.These battles took place during Xeres' invasion of Greece in 480 B.C. And truly concerning these men also one might have much to relate, regarding the manner of onsets they endured both by land and sea, and how they repelled them; but the achievement I shall mention is that which was, in my judgement, the noblest that they performed, in that it followed up the achievement of the men of Marathon. For whereas the men of Marathon had only proved to the Greeks thus much,—that it was possible to repe
