Attica (Greece) (search for this): book 3, chapter 1
The next summer, just as the corn was getting
ripe, the Peloponnesians and their allies invaded Attica under the command
of Archidamus, son of Zeuxidamus, king of the Lacedaemonians,
and sat down and ravaged the land; the Athenian horse as usual attacking them, wherever it was practicable,
and preventing the mass of the light troops from advancing from their camp
and wasting the parts near the city.
After staying the time for which they had taken provisions, the invaders
retired and dispersed to their several cities.
Sicily (Italy) (search for this): book 4, chapter 1
Next summer, about the time of the corn's
coming into ear, ten Syracusan and as many Locrian vessels sailed to
Messina, in Sicily, and occupied the town upon the invitation of the
inhabitants; and Messina revolted from the Athenians.
The Syracusans contrived this chiefly because they saw that the place
afforded an approach to Sicily, and feared that the Athenians might
hereafter use it as a base for attacking them with a larger force; the Locrians because they wished to carry on hostilities from both sides of
the Strait and to reduce their enemies, the people of Rhegium.
Meanwhile, the Locrians had invaded the Rhegian territory with all their
forces, to prevent their succoring Messina, and also at the instance of some

Delos (Greece) (search for this): book 5, chapter 1
The next summer the truce for a year ended,
after lasting until the Pythian games.
During the armistice the Athenians expelled the Delians from Delos,
concluding that they must have been polluted by some old offense at the time
of their consecration, and that this had been the omission in the previous
purification of the island, me
of their consecration, and that this had been the omission in the previous
purification of the island, which as I have related, had been thought to
have been duly accomplished by the removal of the graves of the dead.
The Delians had Atramyttium in Asia given them by Pharnaces, and settled
there as they removed from Delos.

Sicily (Italy) (search for this): book 6, chapter 1
The same winter the Athenians resolved to
sail again to Sicily, with a greater armament than that under Laches and
Eurymedon, and, if possible, to conquer the island; most of them being ignorant of its size and of the number of its
inhabitants, Hellenic and barbarian, and of the fact that they were
undertaking a war not much inferior to that against er of its
inhabitants, Hellenic and barbarian, and of the fact that they were
undertaking a war not much inferior to that against the Peloponnesians.
For the voyage round Sicily in a merchantman is not far short of eight
days; and yet, large as the island is, there are only two miles of sea to prevent
its being mainland.
Sicily (Italy) (search for this): book 7, chapter 1
After refitting their ships, Gylippus and
Pythen coasted along from Tarentum to Epizephyrian Locris.
They now received the more correct information that Syracuse was not yet
completely invested, but that it was still possible for an army arriving by
Epipolae to effect an entrance; and they consulted, accordingly, whether they should keep Sicily on their
right and risk sailing in by sea, or leaving it on their left, should first
sail to Himera, and taking with them the Himeraeans and any others that
might agree to join them, go to Syracuse by land.
Finally they determined to sail for Himera, especially as the four Athenian
ships which Nicias had at length sent off, on hearing that they were at
Locris,
