In a work in my possession, and which is now lying before me, entitled "Every Young Man's Companion, etc., by W.

Persia, too, was waiting for that Greek military cycle; until it should rise, however, something had to be going on in West Asia. The Athenian first half-cycle sixty-five years from the inception of the hegemony ended in 413, when the Peloponnesian War entered its last, and for Athens, disastrous, phase.
The cairn was a substantial pile of rocks, surmounted by a strong oaken guide-post, with arms pointing "North 413 miles to the Pole"; "East, to Cape Morris K.

We have already seen how the Athenian fleet was destroyed at the siege of Syracuse, where Nicias and Demosthenes were so lamentably defeated, which defeat resulted in the humiliation of Athens and the loss of her power as the leading State of Greece. The destruction of this great Athenian armament in September, B.C. 413, created an intoxication of triumph in the Sicilian cities.
