| #### CHAPTER 67 |

| #### #### As for the Greeks upon the king's side, while most of them played the coward purposely, the Boeotians, on the contrary, had a long struggle with the Athenians. Those of the Thebans who were attached to the Medes, displayed especially no little zeal; far from playing the coward, they fought with such fury that three hundred of the best and bravest among them were slain by the Athenians in this passage of arms. But at last they too were routed, and fled away - not, however, in the same direction as the Persians and the crowd of allies, who, having taken no part in the battle, ran off without striking a blow - but to the city of Thebes. ####  |
