Epaminondas, on the contrary, had formed of his cavalry a strong wedge-like body, and had posted companies of foot to support them, judging that when he had broken through the cavalry of the enemy, he would have defeated their whole force, since it is hard to find men that will stand when they see some of their own party in flight; and that the Athenians might not send succour from their left wing to the part of the enemy nearest them, he posted over against them, upon some high grounds, parties of horse and heavy-armed foot, wishing to inspire them with the apprehension that if they stirred to aid others his own troops would attack them in the rear.

25. Such was the mode in which he commenced the engagement; nor was he deceived in his expectations; for, being successful in the part on which he made his attack, he forced the whole body of the enemy to take to flight. But when he himself fell, those who survived him could make no efficient use of their victory; for though the main body of the enemy fled before them, his heavy-armed troops killed none of them, nor even advanced beyond the spot where the charge took place; and though the cavalry also retreated, his own cavalry did not pursue, or make any slaughter either of horse or foot, but, like men who had been conquered, slipped away in trepidation amidst their fleeing adversaries. The other parties of foot, indeed, and the peltasts, who had shared in the success of the cavalry, advanced up to the enemy's left wing, as if masters of the field, but there the greater part of them were put to the sword by the Athenians.

26. When the conflict was ended, the result of it was quite contrary to what all men had expected that it would be; for as almost the whole of Greece was assembled on the occasion, and arrayed in the field, there was no one who did not suppose that, if a battle took place, one side would conquer and be masters, and the other be conquered and become subjects; but the divine power so ordered the event, that both parties erected trophies as being victorious, neither side hindering the cavalry, or interspersed among them; as those of the Germans mentioned by Cæsar, B. G. i. 48, and those of the Dahæ, by Quintus Curtius, vii. 7. Weiske.

He fell by the hand of Gryllus, the son of Xenophon, as Pausanias, viii. 11, is inclined to think. Others have been named as the authors of the blow, but Pausanias considers that there is most evidence in favour of Gryllus.

the other in the erection; both parties, as conquerors, restored the dead under a truce, and both parties, as defeated, received them under truce; and neither party, though each asserted the victory to be its own, was seen to gain any more, either in land, or towns, or authority, than it possessed before the battle took place. Indeed there was still greater confusion and disturbance in Greece after the conflict than there had been before it.

Let it suffice for me to have written to this point; subsequent occurrences will perhaps be an object of attention to some other author.

THE END.

CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE

TO THE HELLENICS.

The second column of this Table shows the dates of the events related in the pas sages to which references are given in the first. The expression, Ol. XCII. denotes that the occurrences to which it alludes, happened in the third and fourth years of the ninety-second Olympiad.

The dates B. c. are those of the ordinary Chronological Tables; but it is to be remembered that the Olympic year commenced at Midsummer, the time at which the Olympic games were celebrated, and that, consequently, if an event took place in the latter half of the Olympic year, the date B. c. must be diminished by one.

INDEX.

The Numbers to which C. is prefixed refer to the Cyropædia; those to which no letter
is prefixed, to the Hellenics. The first number refers to the Book, the second to
the Chapter, the third to the Section.
