This was the opinion which he declared, either because he had been bribed by Mardonius, or because the plan pleased him. The Athenians in the council were, however, very angry; so too were those outside when they heard of it. They made a ring round Lycidas and stoned him to death. Murychides the Hellespontian, however, they permitted to depart unharmed.

There was much noise at Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis over the business of Lycidas; and when the Athenian women learned what was afoot, one calling to another and bidding her follow, they went on their own impetus to the house of Lycidas and stoned to death his wife and his children.

Now this was how the Athenians had crossed over to Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis. As long as they expected that the Peloponnesian army would come to their aid, they remained in Attica [23.5,38.83] (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Attica. But when the Peloponnesians took longer and longer to act and the invader was said to be in Boeotia (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Boeotia already, they then conveyed all their goods out of harms way and themselves crossed over to Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis. They also sent envoys to Sparta [22.416,37.83] (inhabited place), Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Lacedaemon, who were to upbraid the Lacedaemonians for permitting the barbarian to invade Attica [23.5,38.83] (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Attica and not helping the Athenians to meet him in Boeotia (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Boeotia; and who were to remind the Lacedaemonians of the promises which the Persian had made to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens if she would change sides, and warn them that the Athenians would devise some means of salvation for themselves if the Lacedaemonians sent them no help.
