为了维护与斯巴达的友谊,狄奥尼修斯不得不将美塞尼亚人从墨西拿城迁出,在距离墨西拿不远、并不引人注目的地方修建了廷达瑞斯城,来安置这些美塞尼亚人。

Daresto speak the last wordsSyracuseonlyperhapsonly thensouthintentoverlordTheoniahasthisstrength.墨西拿的重建和廷达瑞斯的新建让海峡对岸的利吉姆如芒在背,利吉姆人感到了狄奥尼修斯对自己城邦的觊觎,他们甚至觉得加入南意同盟也不是很保险,因为此刻的锡拉库扎不但一统西西里的东部的希腊城邦,同时还基本征服了西凯尔人,实力太过惊人,南意同盟中的其他城邦是否愿意为了利吉姆去对抗强大的锡拉库扎,这是一个很大的疑问!唯一敢叫板锡拉库扎的恐怕只有南意霸主戴奥尼亚有这个实力。Therefore, the Rhegionpersonconvenesecclesia, firsteven/includingdiscussed that severaldaysdo not have the result.
于是,利吉姆人召开公民大会,一连讨论几天都没有结果。At this moment, a Syracusefleetdrives into the Messinaharbor, thisfleetcontinued the Western ExpeditionSicilyNorth coastto escortfor the Syracusearmy, whoknewactuallystimulates the sensitiveRhegionperson, ecclesiarapidthrough the bill, the envoyis dispatchedThuriirapidly.
就在这时,一只锡拉库扎的舰队驶入墨西拿港口,原本这支舰队是为锡拉库扎军队继续西征西西里北海岸来保驾护航的,谁知却刺激了敏感的利吉姆人,公民大会迅速通过议案,使者迅速被派往图里伊。WhenTheoniacouncil, when the Rhegionenvoyproposed„Rhegionis willingto join the Theoniaunion”, the senior statesmenincludingDavos is quite shocking. In the Theoniaunion, Laos, Roscianum, Metapontum, Elliade, Heraclea, Garagusoismediumsmallcity-state of southintent, Potentia, althoughis the bignation in union, butwas the situationcompelledat that time, is forcedto joinfaced with the Theoniasoldier/weaponfront, was not quite amenabletoTheonia, butTheoniawas busy with the reorganizationin the two yearsandgovernsBruttiiandPyxous, but alsodid not have the timeto pay attentioninPotentia of Theonianorthmountainous areaedge.
在戴奥尼亚元老院里,当利吉姆使者提出“利吉姆愿意加入戴奥尼亚同盟”时,包括戴弗斯在内的元老们都相当震惊。要知道,在戴奥尼亚同盟中,拉俄斯、卡斯特隆、梅塔蓬图姆、埃利亚、赫拉克利亚、加拉古索都是南意的中小城邦,波腾提亚虽然是同盟中的大邦,但当时是形势所迫、面临戴奥尼亚的兵锋才被迫加入,对戴奥尼亚并不太顺从,而戴奥尼亚这两年忙于整顿和治理布鲁提和皮科西斯,还没有时间来理会远在戴奥尼亚北部山区边缘的波腾提亚。ButnowRhegionrequeststo join the Theoniaunionunexpectedlyvoluntarily! MustknowRhegion is not only the Magna Graeciastrongnation, but alsocomes first inMagna Graeciacity-stateinseatradewealthhigh. Hadjoining of Rhegion, the Theoniamerchant ship and fleetcansuccessfullypass the Messinachannel, not onlyand other farwesternMediterraneanbusinessis more convenientwithIberia and Gaularea. Meanwhile, more advantageousguardYu HaijunTheoniaincityKernerPetija, Pyxous of west coast of Italy, as well asunioncity-stateLaosandElliade, connects the Theoniaterritorial waters.
而如今利吉姆居然自愿要求加入戴奥尼亚同盟!要知道利吉姆不但是大希腊的强邦,而且在海贸财富方面更是高居大希腊城邦之首。有了利吉姆的加入,戴奥尼亚的商船和舰队可以顺利通过墨西拿海峡,不但与伊比利亚、高卢地区等远西地中海的商贸更加便捷。同时,也更有利于海军护卫戴奥尼亚在意大利西海岸的城市克纳佩提亚、皮科西斯,以及同盟城邦拉俄斯、埃利亚,将戴奥尼亚的领海连通起来。
The senior statesmenextremelyjoyfulpreparation of Theoniaadmits certainlyjoining of Rhegion, however the Rhegionenvoyput forward a precondition: Theoniaarchon Davosmustmarry a Rhegionfemaleis a wife, moreoverthisfemale, the Rhegionpersonhas also elected, shecalledto loveGorney.戴奥尼亚的元老们当然万分欣喜的准备接纳利吉姆的加入,然而利吉姆使者却提出了一个先决条件:戴奥尼亚执政官戴弗斯必须娶一位利吉姆女子为妻,而且这位女子,利吉姆人也已经选好了,她叫爱葛妮丝。WholovingGorneyis? Sheis honored as„the Rhegionrose”, at age 16becameverybeautiful, evenbrought inoverstepping authority of Syracuseto advocateproposing of Dionysius, finallyencountered the firmrejection of vigilantRhegionperson.
爱葛妮丝是谁?她被誉为“利吉姆的玫瑰”,16岁时就出落的十分美丽,甚至引来锡拉库扎的僭主狄奥尼修斯的求婚,结果遭到了警惕的利吉姆人的坚决拒绝。
The angrySyracuseenvoyabandonsone: „Ourversatilegeneralswill open eyesto look,whoalsohas the qualificationsto marryto loveGorneycompared withhim!”
愤怒的锡拉库扎使者扔下一句:“我们的全能将军将睁眼看着,谁比他还有资格娶爱葛妮丝!”Then, Dionysiusthenstrove formarrying the Locriwoman, andwill greethisLocriwife'spassenger shipto decorate the fulljewelry, the decorationresulted in the golden lightto be dazzling, thisbecameat that time a Magna Graeciahot topic.
然后,狄奥尼修斯转而求娶了洛克里的女人,并且将迎接其洛克里妻子的客船缀满珠宝,装饰得金光耀眼,这成为当时大希腊的一个热门话题。ButinRhegion, those words that because the Syracuseenvoyabandons, likeGorneynot being ableto marry, asbecauseSyracuseexpandsunceasingly, is getting more and more powerful, is not only the Rhegionmanandentirecity-statedoes not wantto enrageDionysius, thusmakesRhegionSyracuseto overstep authority the mainangrytarget.
而在利吉姆,由于锡拉库扎使者扔下的那句话,爱葛妮丝一直未能嫁出去,因为随着锡拉库扎不断扩张,越来越强大,不光是利吉姆的男人、整个城邦都不想激怒狄奥尼修斯,从而让利吉姆成为锡拉库扎僭主愤怒的攻击目标。Finally, suchseveralyearspass by, lovingGorneyare the 21-year-oldsingle woman( Greekwomanmarriageable agegenerallyafter age 14, namelypubertyendedcanmarriage), no onedaresto marry, has tobecomepriestesses of GreekgodfamousplacegoddessAlveryNice.
结果,就这样几年过去,爱葛妮丝都已经是21岁的大龄单身女人(希腊女人结婚年龄一般在14岁之后,即青春期结束就可以结婚),还是没人敢娶,不得不成为希腊神祗中有名的处女神阿尔忒尼斯的女祭司。Nowfaced with the Syracusethreat, the realityworldly-wiseRhegionpersonthinks: Davosis the Theoniatruehierarch, thereforewantsthroughlovingGorneyDavosandRhegionbinds together, jointlydeals withDionysius.
现在面临锡拉库扎威胁的、现实世故的利吉姆人认为:戴弗斯才是戴奥尼亚的真正掌权者,所以才想通过爱葛妮丝将戴弗斯与利吉姆绑在一起,共同应对狄奥尼修斯。Davoscompletely understood that the thoughts of Rhegionperson, flatly refuseimmediately.戴弗斯看透利吉姆人的心思,当即一口回绝。Whoknowsseveraldayslater, thisRhegionenvoypersuadedcouncilmostsenior statesmenunexpectedly, evenincludingMersis, Marigi, Kunogelata, Corneliusand the others, the jointsecret artvisitsDavos, hopes that hecanaccept the request of Rhegion, andalsorefutes„mustobserve the Theoniamonogamy that”Davossaid the law, becausein the Theonialawnotthisstrongstipulation, thisis only a well-establishedcustom, even ifinonceclearly stipulated„monogamy”Athens, bigplagueperiodbeforePeloponnesian War, becausestill the largereduction of population, butadvocatemanywifesystems.
谁知几天后,这位利吉姆使者居然说动了元老院的大部分元老,甚至包括梅尔西斯、马里吉、库诺戈拉塔、科尔内鲁斯等人,联诀拜访戴弗斯,希望他能答应利吉姆的要求,并且还驳斥了戴弗斯所说的“要遵守戴奥尼亚一夫一妻”的法律,因为戴奥尼亚的法律中并无这项强硬性的规定,这只是一个约定俗成的习惯,即使是在曾经明文规定“一夫一妻”的雅典,在伯罗奔尼撒战争之前的大瘟疫时期,也因为人口的大幅减少,而提倡多妻制。Meanwhile, theyalsoemphasized: SyracuseDionysiusas well asotherSicilycity-stateoverstepped authoritymainmarriedmanywife, thereforesouthintentoverlordTheonialifelongarchon naturally.
同时,他们还强调:锡拉库扎的狄奥尼修斯以及其他西西里城邦僭主就娶了多位妻子,因此南意霸主戴奥尼亚的终身执政官当然也可以。Theyalsorefutedto think that aboutDavosTheoniawill draw in worrywithSyracusewarbyRhegion. Philesius, Antoniosand the othersthink: Do not look that Syracuseis seemingly powerful, Carthaginianswill beitsarchenemy, howDionysiushas daredto brave the danger of both sidescombat, will offendsimilarlypowerfulTheoniarashly.
他们还反驳了关于戴弗斯认为戴奥尼亚会被利吉姆拖入与锡拉库扎战争中的担忧。斐利修斯、安东尼奥斯等人认为:别看锡拉库扎看似强大,迦太基人将一直是它的大敌,狄奥尼修斯怎么敢冒着两面作战的危险,贸然得罪同样强大的戴奥尼亚。In fact, the news that the Sicilyislandspreadsas ifalsoprovedthis point: The Syracusearmysweepsto the westalong the SicilyNorth coast, startsto approachSzoLusecity, finally before letting, becauseDionysiuscommands the armyto besiegeTauromenion, butangryCarthagecouncilsets firm resolvefinally, appointsHillMick'syounger brotherMagonas the commander, the military recruit, preparesto command the armyto rush toSicilyagain, resists the attack of Syracuseperson.
事实上,西西里岛传来的消息似乎也证明了这一点:锡拉库扎大军沿着西西里北海岸向西扫荡,开始逼近索鲁斯城,终于让之前就因为狄奥尼修斯率军围攻陶罗美尼昂而愤怒的迦太基元老院终于下定了决心,任命希尔米科之弟玛哥为统帅,招募士兵,准备再率军奔赴西西里,抵御锡拉库扎人的进攻。
Be responsible for the government affairssenior statesmanregardingTheoniacouncil, admitsRhegion, the riskis not big, on the contraryobtains benefitsmany;Tobeing responsible formilitarysenior statesman, Rhegionhas a powerfulnaval fleet, happen tocanmake up for the Theoniaweak point.
对于戴奥尼亚元老院中负责政务元老而言,接纳利吉姆,风险不大,相反获益甚丰;对负责军事的元老而言,利吉姆有一只较强大的海军舰队,正好可以弥补戴奥尼亚的短处。Underpeople'spersuasion, Davosis somewhat indecisive. At this time, his wifeCheiristoyastand, tocouncilhopes that Davosremarried a Rhegionwifeto express the support, andurgedDavosto admitto loveGorney.
在众人的劝说下,戴弗斯有些犹豫不决。这时,他的妻子克莉斯托娅站了出来,对元老院希望戴弗斯再娶一位利吉姆妻子表示了支持,并劝戴弗斯接纳爱葛妮丝。BirthAsia MinorMiletus'sCheiristoyawas influenced byPersiaculturesince childhood, toodid not resisttoplural marriage, initiallyCyrus the Youngerhadmore than tenfavorite imperial concubines. Moreoverisshe of successfulmerchantknowspledging allegiance to of Rhegionregarding the importance of Theoniabusiness.
出生小亚细亚米利都的克莉斯托娅从小受波斯文化的影响,对一夫多妻并不太抗拒,当初小居鲁士就有十几位宠妃。而且已经是一名成功商人的她更知道利吉姆的归顺对于戴奥尼亚商贸的重要性。Davoswas convincedfinally, likedGorneymarrying the Theoniaarchon official mansion the 21-year-oldRhegionfemale, Rhegionalsosmoothlyjoined the Theoniaunion.戴弗斯终于被说服,将21岁的利吉姆女子爱葛妮丝娶进了戴奥尼亚执政官的官邸,利吉姆也顺利的加入了戴奥尼亚同盟。ThismattershockedentireMagna Graecia.
这件事震惊了整个大希腊。WhenDionysiusknew when thisnews, is commanding the armyto besiegeSzoLuse, had orderedto retreat, finallyhealsoordered: Sounds the bugle of attack......
当迪奥尼修斯得知这个消息时,正率军围攻索鲁斯,本已下令撤退,结果他又重新下令:吹响进攻的军号……...........................
………………………Inthese two years, on the Asia Minorland, GreekAllied armies that DejiRiedaledcaused very bigtroubletoPersia.
在这两年,在小亚细亚的土地上,德基里达斯率领的希腊联军给波斯制造了很大的麻烦。Therefore in 396 B. C., KingPersiaArtaxerxesat the suggestion ofhisRoyal Mother, appointment: Listed the Atheniansbranchagriculture of Persiais the Persianavyprovincial commanders( branchagricultureisAthensnauarch, disastrousinsheeprivercampaigntoLaishanvirtue of Sparta, eventuallycausesAthensto the Spartasurrender).
于是在公元前396年,波斯国王阿尔塔薛西斯在其母后的提议下,任命:暂居波斯的雅典人科农为波斯海军提督(科农原是雅典海军统帅,在羊河战役中惨败给斯巴达的莱山德,最终导致雅典向斯巴达投降)。
The KuwaitagricultureescapesPersia, did not forgetto take revengetoSpartadiligently, thereforeflattersPersiakingQueenPalluySardisfrequently. Nowfinally the military powerin the hand, heleads300Persiawarshipsimmediately, activelycoordinates the Persialand army, quickto give the Spartaarmyto cause very bigcasualties, andmakesitbe bogged down in difficulties.
科农逃到波斯,一直孜孜不忘向斯巴达复仇,因此经常去讨好波斯的王太后帕吕萨蒂斯。现在终于兵权在手,他立刻率领300艘波斯战船,积极配合波斯陆上部队,很快就给斯巴达军队造成很大伤亡,并使其陷入困境。Therefore, Persiaproposed the trucepeace talks, butSpartarejection.
于是,波斯提出停战和谈,但斯巴达拒绝了。At this timeisSparta of Greekoverlorddoes not want, when the waris passiveaccepts the peace talks, suchnot only the peace talksconditiondoes not favorSparta, but also harmsprestige of SpartainGreekcity-state. Therefore, the elderpowwowdecided that sends outkingAgesilausto replaceDejiRieda, launches a biggerwarinAsia Minor.
此时已经是希腊霸主的斯巴达不愿意在战争被动的时候接受和谈,那样不但和谈条件非常不利于斯巴达,而且也有损斯巴达在希腊城邦中的威望。于是,长老议事会决定派出国王阿格西劳斯替换德基里达斯,在小亚细亚发动更大的战争。WhatAgesilaushas displayedbefore the Sparta people are heamiable, treats peopleamiableside, butinabiding by the law the Spartatraditionandundermask, heis hiding a notknowngreat ambition. Helongs for that the hugeglory, the worshipancient timeshero, hopescanuse the unprecedentedvictory, making the worldforget that hisbeing lame, butonlyremembershismerit. When heaccepts the orderfrom the elderpowwow, in the hearthad regarded itselfAgamemnon of thistime, mustconquernewTroy, namelyPersia.阿格西劳斯一直在斯巴达民众面前表现出的是他平易近人、待人谦和的一面,但在遵守斯巴达传统和法律的面具下,他隐藏着一颗从不曾为人所知的雄心。他渴望巨大的荣耀,崇拜远古的英雄,希望能用前所未有的胜利,使世人忘记他的跛足,而只记得他的功绩。所以当他从长老议事会中接受命令时,心中就已经把自己当成了这个时代的阿伽门农,要去征服新的特洛伊,即波斯。Therefore, heleadspart of armiesto go toOristhiscity( itspositionin the Piaoxiaarea, thislocalmost famouscity-stateisThebes), such that beforeking of Agamemnonpastkingcommanded the entireGreekarmyto cross the seato attackTroymakes, tothereArtMeesetempleoffersacrificial offering.
于是,他率领一部分军队前往奥利斯这座城市(它位在皮奥夏地区内,这个地区最有名的城邦是底比斯),就像当年众王之王阿加门农统帅全希腊军队渡海进攻特洛伊之前所做的那样,向那里的阿尔特米斯神庙奉献祭品。Howeverin the worshippingprocess of solemn silence, the Thebespersonappeared, theydeclared that the behavior of Spartapersonhas not informedThebes, thusinterrupted the ceremonyforcefully.
但是在庄严肃穆的祭拜过程中,底比斯人出现了,他们宣称斯巴达人的行为并未通知底比斯,从而强行中断了仪式。ThismatteroriginallybetweenrelationalanxiousSpartaandThebes, cast a shadow. Buttoextremelyself-respectAgesilaus, thissimplyis the great shame! HenceforthherememberedThebes.
这件事给原本就关系紧张的斯巴达和底比斯之间,蒙上了一层阴影。而对极其自尊的阿格西劳斯而言,这简直是奇耻大辱!从此他记住了底比斯。Finally, Agesilaus the armyand that leads2000Spartanewcitizensto composeinclude the Laishan30 -memeber military committeesheaded by Germany, crosses the seato arrive atAsia Minorquietly, entersEphesus.
最后,阿格西劳斯带领两千名斯巴达新公民组成的军队和一个包括莱山德为首的30人军事委员会,悄悄地渡海到达小亚细亚,进驻以弗所。Laishanvirtuethinks oneself infallibleAgesilaus that hesupports, after arriving atAsia Minor, thismoderatekingwill certainlydepend upon his onceto conquertrue of Asia Minorin the past„king”, andwill hand overin the command jurisdiction of Spartaarmyhishand.
莱山德自以为是他扶持起来的阿格西劳斯,到达小亚细亚之后,这位性格温和的国王必将依靠他这个当年曾征服小亚细亚的真正“国王”,并且会将斯巴达军队的指挥权交到他手中。
