The Mystery Fleet of Xenophon, Hellenica 4.6.14

By Vivien Howan

Scholia, Vol.14 (2005)

Abstract: The Athenian fleet that hindered the withdrawal of the Spartan king Agesilaus from Acarnania in 389 may have arrived during the campaign. The fleet was commanded perhaps by Chabrias, appointed recently to a command at Corinth, but it faced no serious challenge in view of the Spartan failure to invade. When the Acarnanians made peace in 388, the fleet could be used to supply aid to Evagoras of Cyprus.
