Meanwhile the Athenians, making a descent
from their fleet upon Haliae, were engaged by a force of Corinthians and
Epidaurians; and the Corinthians were victorious.
Afterwards the Athenians engaged the Peloponnesian fleet off Cecruphalia; and the Athenians were victorious.
[2]
Subsequently war broke out between Aegina and Athens, and there was a great
battle at sea off Aegina between the Athenians and Aeginetans, each being
aided by their allies; in which victory remained with the Athenians, who took seventy of the
enemy's ships, and landed in the country and commenced a siege under the
command of Leocrates, son of Stroebus.
[3]
Upon this the Peloponnesians, desirous of aiding the Aeginetans, threw into
Aegina a force of three hundred heavy infantry, who had before been serving
with the Corinthians and Epidaurians.
Meanwhile the Corinthians and their allies occupied the heights of
Geraneia, and marched down into the Megarid, in the belief that with a large
force absent in Aegina and Egypt, Athens would be unable to help the
Megarians without raising the siege of Aegina.
[4]
But the Athenians, instead of moving the army of Aegina, raised a force of
the old and young men that had been left in the city, and marched into the
Megarid under the command of Myronides.
[5]
After a drawn battle with the Corinthians, the rival hosts parted, each
with the impression that they had gained the victory.
[6]
The Athenians, however, if anything, had rather the advantage, and on the
departure of the Corinthians set up a trophy.
Urged by the taunts of the elders in their city, the Corinthians made their
preparations, and about twelve days afterwards came and set up their trophy
as victors.
Sallying out from Megara, the Athenians cut off the party that was employed
in erecting the trophy, and engaged and defeated the rest.
