Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, Book 1, chapter 10 (search)
Now Mycenae may have been a small place, and many of the towns of that age
may appear comparatively insignificant, but no exact observer would
therefore feel justified in rejecting the estimate given by the poets and by
tradition of the magnitude of the armament.
For I suppose if Lacedaemon were to become desolate, and the temples and
the foundations of the public buildings were left, that as time went on
there would be a strong disposition with posterity to refuse to accept her
fame as a true exponent of her power.
And yet they occupy two-fifths of Peloponnese and lead the whole, not to
speak of their numerous allies without.
Still, as the city is neither built in a compact form nor adorned with

The policy of Lacedaemon was not to exact
tribute from her allies, but merely to secure their subservience to her
interests by establishing oligarchies among them;
Athens, on the contrary, had by degrees deprived hers of their ships, and
imposed instead contributions in money on all except Chios and Lesbos.
Both found their resources for this war separately to exceed the sum of
their strength when the alliance flourished intact.

When the Corcyraeans heard of their
preparations they came to Corinth with envoys from Lacedaemon and Sicyon,
whom they persuaded to accompany them, and bade her recall the garrison and
settlers, as she had nothing to do with Epidamnus.
If, however, she had any claims to make, they were willing to submit the
matter to the arbitration of such of the cities in Peloponnese as should be
chosen by mutual agreement,
and that the colony should remain with the city
to whom the arbitrators might assign it.
They were also willing to refer the matter to the oracle at Delphi.
If, in defiance of their protestations, war was appealed to,
they should be

If it be urged that your reception of us will
be a breach of the treaty existing between you and Lacedaemon, the answer is
that we are a neutral state,
and that one of the express provisions of that treaty is that it shall be
competent for any Hellenic state that is neutral to join whichever side it
pleases.
And it is intolerable for Corinth to be allowed to obtain men for her navy
not only from her allies, but also from the rest of Hellas, no small number
being furnished by your own subjects; while we are to be excluded both from the alliance left open to us by
treaty, and from any assistance that we might get from other quarters, and
you are to be accused of political immorality if you comply wit

It is now our turn to benefit by the principle that we laid down at
Lacedaemon, that every power has a right to punish her own allies.
We now claim to receive the same from you, and protest against your
rewarding us for benefiting you by our vote by injuring us by yours.
On the contrary, return us like for like, remembering that this is that
very crisis in which he who lends aid is most a friend, and he who opposes
is most a foe.
And for these Corcyraeans—neither receive them into alliance in
our despite, nor be their abettors in crime.
So do, and you will act as we have a right to expect of you, and at the
same time best consult your own interest.

Meanwhile the Potidaeans sent envoys to
Athens on the chance of persuading them to take no new steps in their
matters; they also went to Lacedaemon with the Corinthians to secure support in case
of need.
Failing after prolonged negotiation to obtain anything satisfactory from
the Athenians; being unable, for all they could say, to prevent the vessels that were
destined for Macedonia from also sailing against them; and receiving from the Lacedaemonian government a promise to invade Attica,
if the Athenians should attack Potidaea, the Potidaeans, thus favoured by
the moment, at last entered into league with the Chalcidians and Bottiaeans,
and revolted.
And Perdiccas induced the Chalcidians to abandon and
