These were the Hellenes who marched out in a body to the Isthmus: the Lacedaemonians and all the Arcadians, the Eleans and Corinthians and Sicyonians and Epidaurians and Phliasians and Troezenians and Hermioneans. These were the ones who marched out and feared for Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas in her peril. The rest of the Peloponnesians cared nothing, though the Olympian and Carnean festivals were now past.

Seven nations inhabit the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese. Two of these are aboriginal and are now settled in the land where they lived in the old days, the Arcadians and Cynurians. One nation, the Achaean, has never left the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese, but it has left its own country and inhabits another nation's land.
