On hearing this the first thought of the army
was to fall upon the chief authors of the oligarchy and upon all the rest
concerned.
Eventually, however, they desisted from this idea upon the men of moderate
views opposing it and warning them against ruining their cause, with the
enemy close at hand and ready for battle.
[2]
After this Thrasybulus, son of Lycus, and Thrasyllus, the chief leaders in
the revolution, now wishing in the most public manner to change the
government at Samos to a democracy, bound all the soldiers by the most
tremendous oaths, and those of the oligarchical party more than any, to
accept a democratic government, to be united, to prosecute actively the war
with the Peloponnesians, and to be enemies of the Four Hundred, and to hold
no communication with them.
[3]
The same oath was also taken by all the Samians of full age; and the soldiers associated the Samians in all their affairs and in the
fruits of their dangers, having the conviction that there was no way of
escape for themselves or for them, but that success of the Four Hundred or
of the enemy at Miletus must be their ruin.
