Histories

In that battle those of the Greeks who fought best were the Athenians, and the Athenian who fought best was one who practised the pancratium,[*](The “pancratium” was a mixture of boxing and wrestling.) Hermolycus son of Euthoenus. This Hermolycus on a later day met his death in a battle at Cyrnus in Carystus during a war between the Athenians and Carystians, and lay dead on Geraestus. Those who fought best after the Athenians were the men of Corinth [22.9083,37.9083] (Perseus) Corinth and Troizen [23.375,37.5] (Perseus)Troezen and Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus)Sicyon.

When the Greeks had made an end of most of the barbarians, either in battle or in flight, they brought out their booty onto the beach, and found certain stores of wealth. Then after burning the ships and the whole of the wall, they sailed away.
