Archidamus

Remember the men who at Dipaea[*](In 471 B.C. See Hdt. 9.35, and Paus. 8.8.4.) fought against the Arcadians, of whom we are told that, albeit they stood arrayed with but a single line of soldiery, they raised a trophy over thousands upon thousands; remember the three hundred who at Thyrea[*](In 542 B.C. See Hdt. 1.82, and Paus. 2.38.5. lsocrates confuses two contests, one earlier, where three hundred Argives fought against three hundred Spartans, one later, where both sides matched their full forces.) defeated the whole Argive force in battle; remember the thousand who went to meet the foe at Thermopylae,
