ith many ornaments of gold, and her
attendants likewise, and she had put on the fairest robe of those which
she had; and when she saw that Pausanias was directing everything there,
being well acquainted before with his name and with his lineage, because
she had heard it often, she recognised Pausanias and taking hold of his
knees she said these words: "O king of Sparta, deliver me thy suppliant
from the slavery of the captive: for thou hast also done me service
hitherto in destroying these, who have regard neither for demigods nor
yet for gods. 87 I am by race of Cos, the daughter of Hegetorides the
son of Antagoras; and the Persian took me by force in Cos and kept me
a prisoner." He made answer in these words: "Woman, be of good courage,
both because thou art a suppliant, and also if in addition to this
it chances that thou art speaking the truth and art the daughter of
Hegetorides the Coan, who is bound to me as a guest-friend more than any
other of the men who dwell in those parts." Having thus spoken, for
that time her gave her in charge to those Ephors who were present, and
afterwards he sent her away to Egina, whither she herself desired to go.

they deserved to be punished: and being informed that the Medes with
Artabazos were in flight, they pursued after them as far as Thessaly,
though the Lacedemonians endeavoured to prevent them from pursuing after
fugitives. 88 Then returning back to their own country they sent the
leaders of their army into exile from the land. After the Mantineians
came the Eleians; and they, like the Mantineians, were greatly grieved
by it and so departed home; and these also when they had returned sent
their leaders into exile. So much of the Mantineians and Eleians.

78. At Plataia among the troops of the Eginetans was Lampon the son of
Pytheas, one of the leading men of the Eginetans, who was moved to go to
Pausanias with a most impious proposal, and when he had come with haste,
he said as follows: "Son of Cleombrotos, a deed has been done by
thee which is of marvellous greatness and glory, and to thee God has
permitted by rescuing Hellas to lay up for thyself the greatest renown
of all the Hellenes about whom we have any knowledge. Do thou then
perform also that which remains to do aft
