| Tóm tắt: | After this [battle], the Chians [now under siege] no longer came out against
[the Athenians], though the Athenians ravaged their land, their land being well
stocked and untouched from the time of the Persian wars until now. For, next to
the Spartans, I have observed only the Chians being both fortunate and moderate,
and to the extent that their polis prospered, to that extent they ordered [their
polis] more securely. And even as regards this revolt, [for people] might think
they did it contrary to the safer path, but they did not dare to do it until they
would be putting themselves in danger with many good allies and observing that,
after the disaster in Sicily, not even the Athenians themselves denied any longer
that their affairs were entirely and certainly desperate. And if [the Chians] were
overthrown by that which is unexpected in human life, they held the opinion that
was in error with many others who thought the same things, that the [power] of
Athens would be quickly and utterly destroyed.1 |
