210 - THE FALL OF THE ATHENIAN EMPIRE scribed on a bronze stele to be placed near the ones bearing the decrees concerning Phrynichus, and stones were to be placed on the former sites of their houses bearing the legend "Land of Archeptolemus and Antiphon the two traitors. m 6 The fate of Archeptolemus and Antiphon should have been enough to drive any remaining extremists into flight and to end any further threat of betrayal of the city to the enemy. It probably also succeeded in gaining the moderates greater confidence from the masses who still may have been suspicious about their role in the Four Hundred. Certainly, Thymochares retained his naval command, and Theramenes sailed to the Hellespont, where he served in close collaboration with Thrasybulus and Alcibiades. 77 It seems likely that the moderates now thought the new regime sufficiently secure and could turn their attention to prosecuting the war. 76 [Piut.] Mor. 834. 77 Thymochares: Xen 1.1.1; Theramenes; Andrewes,JHS LXXIII (1953), 2-3.
9· The War m the Hellespont The moderate regime had moved to defend its position in Athens from betrayal by oligarchic extremists and from suspicions that its leaders were too closely associated with them. Before long, however, it faced a new external challenge to Athens' control of the Hellespont, its grain supply, and the very survival of the city. In August of 411, a small but effective Peloponnesian fleet had made its way to Byzantium and caused a rebellion there and in some neighboring towns.' The Spartans were unable to exploit the opportunity fully because of quarrels within the Peloponnesian forces and the hopes some of them still had that Tissaphernes would bring on the Phoenician fleet. We may be sure that the new navarch Mindarus received instructions before he left, and it is more than likely that the orders reflected a growing disenchantment with Tissaphernes. The satrap was not meeting his financial commitments; was oppressing Greeks in Ionia, at least in the eyes of many Peloponnesians on the spot; and seemed to be flirting with the enemy now that Alcibiades was back in the Athenian camp at Samos. 2 The political situation in Sparta had also changed. The original decision to move into lonia in collaboration with Tissaphernes had been strongly influenced by Alcibiades and his friend Endius.' Since that time Alcibiades had turned his coat twice and had returned to the Athenian camp, Endius was no longer an ephor, and Tissaphernes had become an object of suspicion. Mindarus, therefore, •see above, S.Bo.J-4· 2 For a useful discussion of possible Spartan thinking at this moment, see Lewis, Sparta and Persia, 110-114. JB.s-6. 2 I I
