After this the departure for Sicily took
place, it being now about midsummer.
Most of the allies, with the corn transports and the smaller craft and the
rest of the expedition, had already received orders to muster at Corcyra, to
cross the Ionian sea from thence in a body to the Iapygian promontory.
But the Athenians themselves, and such of their allies as happened to be
with them, went down to Piraeus upon a day appointed at daybreak, and began
to man the ships for putting out to sea.
[2]
With them also went down the whole population, one may say, of the city,
both citizens and foreigners; the inhabitants of the country each escorting those that belonged to them,
their friends, their relatives, or their sons, with hope and lamentation
upon their way, as they thought of the conquests which they hoped to make,
or of the friends whom they might never see again, considering the long
voyage which they were going to make from their country.
