Mantinea (Greece) (search for this): book 2, chapter 57
The Treatment of Mantinea
Now the people of Mantinea had in the first instance
B. C. 227.
abandoned the league, and voluntarily submitted, first to
the Aetolians, and afterwards to Cleomenes.
Being therefore, in accordance with this
policy, members of the Lacedaemonian community, in the
fourth year before the coming of Antigonus, their city was
forcibly taken possession of by the Achaeans owing to the
skilful plotting of Aratus. But on that occasion, so far from
being subjected to any severity Mantinea had in the first instance
B. C. 227.
abandoned the league, and voluntarily submitted, first to
the Aetolians, and afterwards to Cleomenes.

policy, members of the Lacedaemonian community, in the

forcibly taken possession of by the Achaeans owing to the
skilful plotting of Aratus. But on that occasion, so far from
being subjected to any severity for their act of treason, it
became a matter of general remark how promptly the feelings of the conquerors and the conquered underwent a
revolution. As soon as he had got possession of the town,
Aratus issued orders to his own men that no one was to lay a
finger on anything that did not belong to him; and then,
having summoned the Mantineans to a meeting, he bade them
be of good cheer, and stay in their own houses; for that, as
long as they remained members of the league, their safety was
secure
