Histories

When Aristodemus returned to Sparta [22.416,37.83] (inhabited place), Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Lacedaemon, he was disgraced and without honor. He was deprived of his honor in this way: no Spartan would give him fire or speak with him, and they taunted him by calling him Aristodemus the Trembler. In the battle at Plataea [23.2667,38.2] (Perseus) Plataea, however, he made up for all the blame brought against him.

It is said that another of the three hundred survived because he was sent as a messenger to +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly. His name was Pantites. When he returned to Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, he was dishonored and hanged himself.
