Such were the preparations and such the feelings with which the contest
opened.The allies of the two belligerents
were the following.
[2]
These were the allies of Lacedaemon: all the Peloponnesians within the
Isthmus except the Argives and Achaeans, who were neutral; Pellene being the only Achaean city that first joined in the war, though
her example was afterwards followed by the rest.
Outside Peloponnese the Megarians, Locrians, Boeotians, Phocians,
Ambraciots, Leucadians, and Anactorians.
[3]
Of these, ships were furnished by the Corinthians, Megarians, Sycyonians,
Pellenians, Eleans, Ambraciots, and Leucadians; and cavalry by the Boeotians, Phocians, and Locrians.
The other states sent infantry.
This was the Lacedaemonian confederacy.
[4]
That of Athens comprised the Chians, Lesbians, Plateans, the Messenians in
Naupactus, most of the Acarnanians, the Corcyraeans, Zacynthians, and some
tributary cities in the following countries, viz., Caria upon the sea with
her Dorian neighbors, Ionia, the Hellespont, the Thracian towns, the islands
lying between Peloponnese and Crete towards the east, and all the Cyclades
except Melos and Thera.
[5]
Of these, ships were furnished by Chios, Lesbos, and Corcyra, infantry and
money by the rest.
[6]
Such were the allies of either party and their resources for the war.
