rmament, were slain, being defeated in battle by the Phenicians
and the men of Egesta; and Euryleon only of the joint-founders survived
this disaster. This man then having collected the survivors of the
expedition, took possession of Minoa the colony of Selinus, and he
helped to free the men of Selinus from their despot Peithagoras.
Afterwards, when he had deposed him, he laid hands himself upon the
despotism in Selinus and became sole ruler there, though but for a short
time; for the men of Selinus rose in revolt against him and slew
him, notwithstanding that he had fled for refuge to the altar of Zeus

subject of Cleomenes and had remained in Sparta, he would have been king
of Lacedemon; for Cleomenes reigned no very long time, and died leaving
no son to succeed him but a daughter only, whose name was Gorgo.

49. However, Aristagoras the despot of Miletos arrived at Sparta while
Cleomenes was reigning: and accordingly with him he came to speech,
having, as the Lacedemonians say, a tablet of bronze, on which was
engraved a map 31 of the whole Earth, with all the sea and all the
rivers. And when he came to speech with Cleomenes he said to him as
follows: "Marvel not, Cleomenes, at my earnestness in coming hither, for

of all others most to you, inasmuch as ye are the leaders of Hellas. Now
therefore I entreat you by the gods of Hellas to rescue from slavery the
Ionians, who are your own kinsmen: and ye may easily achieve this, for
the Barbarians are not valiant in fight, whereas ye have atta
