The battle was long, obstinate, and even: when in the midst of it, the Thessalian cavalry suddenly deserted to the Spartans. Despite this treachery, the Athenians, well supported by the Argives, long maintained their ground with advantage. But when night separated the armies , victory remained with the Spartans and their allies.
The king of Macedonia had to submit to be accused by the sovereign rabble before the Roman senate, and to accept justice or injustice as the senate chose; he was compelled to witness judgment constantly going against him; he had with deep chagrin to withdraw his garrisons from the Thracian coast and from the Thessalian and Perrhaebian towns, and courteously to receive the Roman commissioners, who came to see whether everything required had been carried out in accordance with instructions.
Fool that I am shall I save her? yes, for I love Glaucus better than myself. When she arrived at the house of the Athenian, she learnt that he had gone out with a party of his friends, and none knew whither. He probably would not be home before midnight. The Thessalian groaned; she sank upon a seat in the hall and covered her face with her hands as if to collect her thoughts.
Alpheus and Eleusa, Thessalian Greeks, travelled in their old age, to escape poverty and misfortune, which had surely taken joint lease with themselves of a certain hut among the hills, and managed both household and flock.

In a few moments the heavy bars were heard suddenly to yield, and the porter, half opening the door, demanded who was there.

'Who art thou? I know the burden of thy voice. 'Blind girl! what dost thou here at this late hour? Fie! is this seeming thy sex or years? Home, girl!
'It has ever been celebrated for its sorcerers, returned Nydia, timidly. 'Knowest thou, then, blind Thessalian, of any love-charms? 'I! said the flower-girl, coloring; 'I! how should I? No, assuredly not! 'The worse for thee; I could have given thee gold enough to have purchased thy freedom hadst thou been more wise.
His vanity was gratified in every particular. And what a splendid fellow was the slave who now with a superbly reverential bow-presented him with a roast chicken and who was to walk behind him in the afternoon to the council-chamber. The tall Thessalian who marched after the Archidikastes to the Hall of justice, carrying his papers, was hardly grander than his "body-servant."
