The same winter the Athenians in Sicily made
a descent from their ships upon the territory of Himera, in concert with the
Sicels, who had invaded its borders from the interior, and also sailed to
the islands of Aeolus.
[2]
Upon their return to Rhegium they found the Athenian general, Pythodorus,
son of Isolochus, come to supersede Laches in the command of the fleet.
[3]
The allies in Sicily had sailed to Athens and induced the Athenians to send
out more vessels to their assistance, pointing out that the Syracusans who
already commanded their land were making efforts to get together a navy, to
avoid being any longer excluded from the sea by a few vessels.
[4]
The Athenians proceeded to man forty ships to send to them, thinking that
the war in Sicily would thus be the sooner ended, and also wishing to
exercise their navy.
[5]
One of the generals, Pythodorus, was accordingly sent out with a few ships; Sophocles, son of Sostratides, and Eurymedon, son of Thucles, being
destined to follow with the main body.
[6]
Meanwhile Pythodorus had taken the command of Laches' ships, and towards
the end of winter sailed against the Locrian fort, which Laches had formerly
taken, and returned after being defeated in battle by the Locrians.
