His preparations completed, Eurylochus lodged
the hostages in Kytinium, in Doris, and advanced upon Naupactus through the
country of the Locrians, taking upon his way Oeneon and Eupalium, two of
their towns that refused to join him.
[2]
Arrived in the Naupactian territory, and having been now joined by the
Aetolians, the army laid waste the land and took the suburb of the town,
which was unfortified; and after this Molycrium also, a Corinthian colony subject to Athens.
[3]
Meanwhile the Athenian Demosthenes, who since the affair in Aetolia had
remained near Naupactus, having had notice of the army and fearing for the
town, went and persuaded the Acarnanians, although not without difficulty
because of his departure from Leucas, to go to the relief of Naupactus.
[4]
They accordingly sent with him on board his ships a thousand heavy
infantry, who threw themselves into the place and saved it; the extent of its wall and the small number of its defenders otherwise
placing it in the greatest danger.
[5]
Meanwhile Eurylochus and his companions, finding that this force had
entered and that it was impossible to storm the town, withdrew, not to
Peloponnese, but to the country once called Aeolis and now Calydon and
Pleuron, and to the places in that neighborhood and Proschium in Aetolia;
[6]
the Ambraciots having come and urged them to combine with them in attacking
Amphilochian Argos and the rest of Amphilochia and Acarnania; affirming that the conquest of these countries would bring all the
continent into alliance with Lacedaemon.
[7]
To this Eurylochus consented, and dismissing the Aetolians, now remained
quiet with his army in those parts, until the time should come for the
Ambraciots to take the field, and for him to join them before
Argos.Summer was now over.
