  • Summary

    A mission to Athens from the Persian commanders is followed by an Athenian embassy headed by Callias son of Hipponicus and by a settlement. In the years immediately following the Cyprus expedition, Thucydides reports only one pair of events, a Spartan expedition to Delphi, which entrusted the shrine to the Delphians, followed by an Athenian counter expedition handing it over to the Phocians. The Chersonese had been subject to a prolonged period of Thracian raids, and Pericles not only strengthened the cities population with his thousand Athenian settlers, but fortified the isthmus from sea to sea. Although Athens had made her attempt to bolster the Phocian position in Delphi, more effort was done to sustain her naval empire. The first event after the Thirty Years' Peace thought worthy of report by Thucydides is in 440, a war between Samos and Miletus about Priene.
