n appointed to do this, not only for that end but also for fear that,
if they were present in the camp, they might make some hostile move: 113
but they did in fact the opposite of that which they were appointed
to do; for they not only directed them in the flight by other than the
right paths, by paths indeed which led towards the enemy, but also at
last they themselves became their worst foes and began to slay them.
Thus then for the second time Ionia revolted from the Persians.

105. In this battle, of the Hellenes the Athenians were the best men,
and of the Athenians Hermolycos the son of Euthoinos, a man who had
trained for the pancration. This Hermolycos after these events, when
there was war between the Athenians and the Carystians, was killed in
battle at Kyrnos in the Carystian land near Geraistos, and there was
buried. After the Athenians the Corinthians, Troizenians and Sikyonians
were the best.

106. When the Hellenes had slain the greater number of the Barbarians,
some in the battle and others in their flight, they set fire to the
ships and to the whole of the wall, having first brought out the spoil
to the sea-shore; and among the rest they found some stores of money. So
having set fire to the wall and to the ships they sailed away; and
when they came to Samos, the Hellenes deliberated about removing the
inhabitants of Ionia, and considered where they ought to settle them in
those parts of Hellas of which they had command, leaving Ionia to the
Barbarians: for it was evident to them that it was impossible on the one
hand for them to be always stationed as guards to protect the Ionians,
and on the other hand, if they were not stationed to protect them,
they had no hope that the Ionians would escape with impunity from the
Persians. Therefore it seemed good to those of the Peloponnesians that
were in authority that they should remove the inhabitants of the trading
ports which belonged to those peoples of Hellas who had taken the side
of the Medes, and give that land to the Ionians to dwell in; but the
Athenians did not think it good that the inhabitants of Ionia should
be removed at all, nor that the Peloponnesians should consult about
Athenian colonies; and as these vehemently resisted the proposal, the
Peloponnesians gave way. So the end was that they joined as allies to
their league the Samians, Chians, Lesbians, and the other islanders who
chanced to be serving with the Hellenes, binding them by assurance a
