Andocides, On the Peace, section 28 (search)
Such are the prospects to which we are committed; and we have a choice between two alternatives, that of joining Argos in fighting Sparta, and that of joining Boeotia in making common peace with her. Now what alarms me above all else, gentlemen, is our old, old fault of invariably abandoning powerful friends in preference for weak, and of going to war for the sake of others when, as far as we ourselves are concerned, we could perfectly well remain at peace.

Later,Actually in 419. Andocides is thinking of Alcibiades' descent on Epidaurus in support of the Argives, who had already invaded her territory by land. The expedition was made in virtue of the alliance of the previous year between Athens, Argos, Elis, and Mantinea. the same Argives who are here today to persuade us to continue the war, induced us to arouse Sparta's anger by making a naval descent upon Laconia while at peace with her, an act which was responsible for endless disasters; from it sprang a war which ended with our being forced to demolish our walls, to surrender our fleet, and to restore our exiles.

Then still another fact makes it easy to see that the law is a bad one: we are the only Greeks to observe it, and no other state is prepared to imitate us.The evidence on the subject of ostracism in Greece at large is too inconclusive to enable us either to accept or to reject this statement with confidence. It is known that the institution existed for a time at least at Argos (Aristot. Pol. 8.3, 1302b 18), at Miletus (Schol. Aristoph. Kn. 855), at Megara (ibid.), and at Syracuse (Dio. Sic. 11.87.6). It was introduced at Syracuse in 454 B.C. under the name of petalismo/s, definitely in imitation of Athens.

of Mantineus. Th he course of the war they were the first to invent shields. And Acrisius gained
the mastery and drove Proetus from Argos; and
Proetus went to Lycia to the court of Iobates or,
as some say, of Amphianax, and married his daughter, 8.6.8. They divided the whole of the Argive territory between them and settled in it, Acrisius reigning over
Argos and Proetus over Tiryns. And Acrisius
had a daughter Danae by Eurydice, daughter of
Lacedaemon, and Proetu ccording to Diodorus Siculus, with whom
Pausanias in the same passage (Paus.
2.18.4) agrees, the king of Argos at the time of the affair was not Proetus but Anaxagoras, son of
Megapenthes. As to Megapenthes, see Apollod. 2.4
