"But when it [the arrest of Alexicles, one of the oligarchs]
was announced to the Four Hundred (they happened to be sitting together
in the Bouleuterion), immediately everyone, except those who were
not wishing these things to be so, was ready to rush to arms and began
to threaten Theramenes and those with him," Thucydides
8.92.6-8
"And Theramenes, coming to the Piraeus (he himself was a general),
became angry at the hoplites on account of the shouting," Thucydides
8.92.9-11
"On the next day, the Four Hundred, though much disturbed, nevertheless
gathered in the Bouleuterion," Thucydides
8.93
The End of the Peloponnesian War and the Rule of the
Thirty (Xenophon, Hellenica, Book 2 selections)
"Once the Paralus arrived at night, the disaster [at Aegospotami]
was announced, and wailing from the Piraeus through the long walls
arrived at the city, one person announcing the news to the next,"
Hellenica
2.2.3-4
The Lacedaimonians surrounded Athens: the army under the leadership
of Pausanias set up camp at the Academy just outside Athens and the
fleet led by Lysander anchored at Piraeus. "The Athenians, beseiged
by land and sea, were at a loss what they should do since the had
neither ships, allies, or grain," Hellenica
2.2.10-12
"When they [the ambassadors] were at Sellasia, near Laconia,
and the ephors learned what they were proposing, being the very things
they had proposed to Agis, they ordered them to go back," Hellenica
2.2.13-15
Theramenes then proposes to speak to Lysander about keeping the long
walls, but he was detained three months. "When Theramenes and
the other ambassadors were in Sellasia, upon being asked with what
proposal they had come, they said that they had full power concerning
peace," Hellenica
2.2.19-20
"Theramenes and the ambassadors with him brought back these
terms to Athens," Hellenica
2.2.21-23
"The oligarchy came into being in the following way," Hellenica
2.3.2-3
Long
Walls between Piraeus and Athens (Perseus)
"The Thirty had been chosen as soon as the long walls and the
walls around the Piraeus were demolished," Hellenica
2.3.11-12
"When the Thirty began to consider how it might be possible
to take advantage of the city for themselves however thay wished,
they sent Aeschines and Aristoteles to Sparta and persuaded Lysander
to come and help them with garrisons," Hellenica
2.3.13-14
"At first, Critias and Theramenes were of similar opinion and
friendly," Hellenica 2.3.15-16
"When becaue of the many dying--wrongly--many were clearly gathering
together and wondering what the state would become, Theramenes again
spoke," Hellenica
2.3.17-19
"[Theramenes] spoke these things. But the Thirty, making a review
of the Three Thousand in the agora, and of those who were not on the
'roll' here or there," Hellenica
2.3.20-21
"And they were ordering Theramenes to seize whomever he wished,"
Hellenica
2.3.22-23
In what continues, first Critias accuses (24-34), and then Theramenes
speaks in his defense (35-49).
"When he stopped speaking these things, it was clear that the
Boule was shouting approval, Critias, realizing that if he handed
it over to the Boule to vote on the matter, Theremanes would escape,"
Hellenica
2.3.50-51
"When Theramenes heard these things, he sprang to the hearth
and said," Hellenica
2.3.52-54
"When Critias had spoken these things, Satyrus dragged Theramenes
from the altar, and his servants also dragged him," Hellenica
2.3.55-56
"In this way, Theramenes died," Hellenica
2.4.1
