Shortly afterwards ambassadors appeared from Argos with the proposals indicated; and the Boeotarchs approved of the terms and dismissed the ambassadors with a promise to send envoys to Argos to negotiate the alliance.
Epaminondas, too, marched in the ranks; for, now that his term of office was ended, he had contentedly returned to his former obscure position. The new Boeotarchs were unfortunately very poor generals. They met the Thessalian army, but were defeated and driven back.
The priests crowned them with wreaths, while the people hailed them with joyful acclamations. With a single voice they nominated Pelopidas, Mellon, and Charon as Boeotarchs, a Theban title of authority which had for a number of years been dropped. Such was the hatred which the long oppression had aroused, that the very women trod underfoot the slain jailer, and spat upon his corpse.
In the meantime it was decided by the Boeotarchs, the Corinthians, the Megarians, and the envoys from Thrace first to interchange oaths together to give help to each other whenever it was required and not to make war or peace except in common; after which the Boeotians and Megarians, who acted together, should make the alliance with Argos.
