After this appeal to the gods Archidamus put
his army in motion.
First he enclosed the town with a palisade formed of the fruit-trees which
they cut down, to prevent further egress from Plataea; next day they threw up a mound against the city, hoping that the largeness
of the force employed would insure the speedy reduction of the place.
They accordingly cut down timber from Cithaeron, and built it up on either
side, laying it like lattice-work to serve as a wall to keep the mound from
spreading abroad, and carried to it wood and stones and earth and whatever
other material might help to complete it.
They continued to work at the mound for seventy days and nights without
intermission, being divided

The same summer and simultaneously with the
expedition against Plataea, the Athenians marched with two thousand heavy
infantry and two hundred horse against the Chalcidians in the direction of
Thrace and the Bottiaeans, just as the corn was getting ripe, under the
command of Xenophon, son of Euripides, with two colleagues.
Arriving before Spartolus in Bottiaea, they destroyed the corn and had some
hopes of the city coming over through the intrigues of a faction within.
But those of a different way of thinking had sent to Olynthus; and a garrison of heavy infantry and other troops arrived accordingly.
These issuing from Spartolus were engaged by the Athenians in front of the
town:

Upon the arrival of the prisoners with
Salaethus, the Athenians at once put the latter to death, although he
offered, among other things, to procure the withdrawal of the Peloponnesians
from Plataea, which was still under siege;
and after deliberating as to what they should do with the former, in the
fury of the moment determined to put to death not only the prisoners at
Athens, but the whole adult male population of Mitylene, and to make slaves
of the women and children.
It was remarked that Mitylene had revolted without being, like the rest,
subjected to the empire; and what above all swelled the wrath of the Athenians was the fact of the
Peloponnesian fleet having ventured over to Ionia to her sup

At daybreak the Boeotians joined him.
Having determined to relieve Megara, whose danger they considered their
own, even before hearing from Brasidas, they were already in full force at
Plataea, when his messenger arrived to add spurs to their resolution; and they at once sent on to him two thousand two hundred heavy infantry,
and six hundred horse, returning home with the main body.
The whole army thus assembled numbered six thousand heavy infantry.
The Athenian heavy infantry were drawn up by Nisaea and the sea; but the light troops being scattered over the plain were attacked by the
Boeotian horse and driven to the sea, being taken entirely by surprise, as
on previous occasions no relief had ever come to the Megarians from any
quarter.
