Upon this revolution taking place, the party
of Pisander and Alexicles, and the chiefs of the oligarchs immediately
withdrew to Decelea, with the single exception of Aristarchus, one of the
generals, who hastily took some of the most barbarian of the archers and
marched to Oenoe.
[2]
This was a fort of the Athenians upon the Boeotian border, at that moment
besieged by the Corinthians, irritated by the loss of a party returning from
Decelea, who had been cut off by the garrison.
The Corinthians had volunteered for this service, and had called upon the
Boeotians to assist them.
[3]
After communicating with them, Aristarchus deceived the garrison in Oenoe
by telling them that their countrymen in the city had compounded with the
Lacedaemonians, and that one of the terms of the capitulation was that they
must surrender the place to the Boeotians.
The garrison believed him as he was general, and besides knew nothing of
what had occurred owing to the siege, and so evacuated the fort under truce.
[4]
In this way the Boeotians gained possession of Oenoe, and the oligarchy and
the troubles at Athens ended.
