Xenophon

“ So, too, on this occasion, Agesilaus had left behind all the Amyclaeans serving in any part of his army at Lechaeum. At the right moment the general in command of the garrison at that place had posted the garrison troops of the allies to guard the walls during his absence, and put himself at the head of his division of heavy infantry with that of the cavalry, [14] and led the Amyclaeans past the walls of Corinth. ”

“ The same night the sky was lit up by the blaze of the temple of Poseidon--set on fire no one knows how.
5When the men in Piraeum perceived that the pass was occupied, they at once abandoned all thought of self-defence and fled for refuge to the Heraion [5] --men and women, slaves and free-born, with the greater part of their flocks and herds. Agesilaus, with the main body, meanwhile pursued his march by the sea-shore, and the division, simultaneously descending from the heights, captured the fortified position of Oenoe, appropriating its contents. ”

“ With this clearly-conceived idea they led out their troops; 14and while Callias drew up his heavy infantry in line at no great distance from the city, Iphicrates and his peltasts made a dash at the returning division.
The Lacedaemonians were presently within range of the javelins. [17] Here a man was wounded, and there another dropped, not to rise again. Each time orders were given to the attendant shield-bearers [18] to pick up the men and bear them into Lechaeum ”

“ Then the polemarch ordered the ten-years-service men [19] to charge and drive off their assailants. 15Charge, however, as they might, they took nothing by their pains--not a man could they come at within javelin range. ”
