Athens obtained the liberation, grasped political power Thrasybulus and the others to restore the Athens original democratic government, has not actually retaliated the supporter who the original oligarch sent the tyranny, but promulgated the announcement of political pardon, and fulfiling exactly, meanwhile closed the contradiction and envious hatred between civilian and rich, Democratic Party and aristocrat with every effort, when causes today's Athens instead compared with Peloponnesian War united. But outward, Thrasybulus they also use a discrete and soft policy, forgot to raise in Union past the betrayal of allied country, equality of treatment and associated each city-state, caused these city-state gradually gathers side Athens through the trade and diplomacy, Athens not like Perikles rule period overbearing, but the national strength quickly is actually restoring past the honor. 雅典得到了解放,重新掌握政权的色拉西布洛斯等人恢复了雅典原来的民主政体,却并未报复原来寡头派暴政的支持者,而是颁布了政治大赦的公告,并严格执行,同时还尽力去弥合平民和富人、民主派与贵族之间的矛盾和嫉恨,使得今天的雅典反而比伯罗奔尼撒战争时更加团结。而对外,色拉西布洛斯他们则同样采用一种谨慎而温和的政策,忘记昔日提洛同盟中盟邦的背叛,平等对待和交往每一个城邦,使得这些城邦又渐渐通过贸易和外交聚拢到雅典身旁,雅典没有像伯里克利执政时期那样霸道,但国力却在迅速恢复昔日荣光。 This is Isocrates admires the Thrasybulus place, moreover regarding the revival of Athens, he is freely eminent, but people, because is worried about him to rule as a dictatorship, several years do not elect him for the general intentionally, he still did not have the complaint is the city-state positive suggestions offers advice as always. 这正是伊索克拉底钦佩色拉西布洛斯的地方,而且尽管对于雅典的复兴,他居功至伟,但民众由于担心他独裁,有几年故意不推选他为将军,他仍然没有怨言的一如既往为城邦建言献策。 „Isocrates, believes that a while ago Theonia you had known to the matter that Locri declared war.” Thrasybulus concerned asking: „You have gone to Thurii, by your judgment, you thought that Theonia does handle jointly with Syracuse to have the war?” “伊索克拉底,相信前段时间戴奥尼亚对洛克里宣战的事你已经知道了。”色拉西布洛斯关切的问道:“你去过图里伊,以你的判断,你觉得戴奥尼亚会同锡拉库扎发生战争吗？” „Certainly will have the war!” Isocrates almost does not have hesitant said decisively. “一定会发生战争！”伊索克拉底几乎没有犹豫的断然说道。 „?” Thrasybulus surprisedly in Isocrates such affirmation. “哦？”色拉西布洛斯惊奇于伊索克拉底如此的肯定。 „I have not gone to Syracuse, but from Dionysius the cruel performance of Sicily, he destroyed Catania, Leontium and other Sicily Greece city-state, this person to land extremely greedy, but also once sent people to disrupt the Theonia political order, Theonia archon that a short time ago had was assassinated the event to fear him is the back chief instigator, obviously Magna Graecia is he next goal that wants to annex, therefore Theonia wants to belittle him in the Magna Graecia only union, how he may ignore, will send out the reinforcements to battle with Theonia surely! But Theonia-” “我没有去过锡拉库扎,但从狄奥尼修斯在西西里的残暴表现来看,他先后摧毁了卡塔奈、列奥提尼等好几个西西里希腊城邦,此人对土地极其的贪婪,还曾派人扰乱戴奥尼亚的政治秩序,前不久发生的戴奥尼亚执政官被刺杀事件恐怕他才是背后的主谋,可见大希腊是他想要吞并的下一个目标,所以戴奥尼亚想要蔑掉他在大希腊唯一的同盟,他又怎么可能会置之不理,必定会派出援军同戴奥尼亚作战！而戴奥尼亚-” Isocrates is considering the spoken language, slowly said: „I think that it will not dread with Syracuse makes war, although its strength weak in Syracuse, but the citizens of this city-state alliance saw mouse earnest regarding the war like the cat, they combat enthusiastically, and perhaps they have the assistance that the Crotone, Rhegion and other south intent pledges help...... they to prepare to give Syracuse to hit hard in Magna Graecia.” 伊索克拉底斟酌着言语,慢慢说道:“我想它不会畏惧与锡拉库扎开战,尽管它的实力弱于锡拉库扎,但这个城邦联盟的公民对于战争就像猫见了老鼠一样的热切,他们会踊跃的参战,并且他们还有克罗托内、利吉姆等南意盟帮的协助……说不定他们正准备着在大希腊给予锡拉库扎以重击。” „Like the cat catch mouse...... hehe, Isocrates your word usage was exaggerating, no one is very fond of the war.” Thrasybulus said with a smile, the expression on face also relaxed: „Listened to your such saying, I also felt relieved. Theonia can make war with Syracuse, the pressure that then our anti- Sparta allied armies receive will also be smaller, hoping Theonia can defeat Syracuse, is cut off thoroughly the Sparta backing, enabling us to be able more dedicated tackled Sparta.” “像猫捉老鼠一样……呵呵,伊索克拉底你用词过于夸张了,没有人是酷爱战争的。”色拉西布洛斯笑道,脸上的表情也放松下来:“听你这么一说,我也就放心了。戴奥尼亚能够与锡拉库扎开战,那么我们反斯巴达的盟军所受到的压力也会小一些,希望戴奥尼亚能够打败锡拉库扎,彻底断掉斯巴达的后援,让我们可以更专注的对付斯巴达。” „Thrasybulus, my idea is just the opposite with you, you best to pray to Athena, making these two city-state influences mutually wounded.” Isocrates serious saying. “色拉西布洛斯,我的想法与你恰恰相反,你最好是向雅典娜祈祷,让这两个城邦势力两败俱伤。”伊索克拉底神情严肃的说道。 „Why?” Thrasybulus is surprised. “为什么？”色拉西布洛斯感到吃惊。 „I did not deny, I the impression to Theonia am very good.” Isocrates said with his unique hoarse voice sinking sound: „But this type the impression, ponders, actually frightening...... the Theonia citizen is very fond of the fight, this is not a joke, because «Theonia Law» stipulated, ‚citizen has the military exploit, can obtain a better land’. Greeks can make any crazy matter for the land, believes that you can realize. In fact, Theonia the law and another ‚are willing to accept the freeman are the Theonia citizen’ the Immigration Law case( i.e. Davos Immigration Law), attracted tens of thousands of freemen and foreign land people rushes to Theonia. But in turn, these became the Theonia citizen or they are called ‚prepare citizen’ once freemen to promote Theonia to expand suddenly outward, to obtain more lands. Although Theonia not the land of unscrupulous embezzling Greece compatriot like Syracuse, but its rapid of territory expansion, is obvious. Except that recruits the Greek freemen to become the Theonia citizen, they even also make the alien race person his alliance citizen......” “我不否认,我对戴奥尼亚的印象很好。”伊索克拉底用他那独特的嘶哑嗓音沉声说道:“但是这种好印象,细想起来,却让人心惊……戴奥尼亚公民酷爱战斗,这并不是笑话,因为《戴奥尼亚法律》规定,‘公民拥有军功,才能获得更好的土地’。希腊人为了土地能做出什么疯狂的事,相信你能够体会。事实上,正是戴奥尼亚的这条法律和另一条‘愿意接受自由民为戴奥尼亚公民’的移民法案(即戴弗斯移民法),吸引了成千上万的自由民和异邦人涌向戴奥尼亚。而反过来,这些成为戴奥尼亚公民或者他们叫做‘预备公民’的曾经的自由民们又推动了戴奥尼亚急剧向外扩张,以获得更多的土地。戴奥尼亚虽然不像锡拉库扎那样肆无忌惮的侵吞希腊同胞的土地,但它的领地扩张之迅速,也是显而易见的。除了吸收希腊自由民成为戴奥尼亚公民,他们甚至还让异族人成为其联盟公民……” Thrasybulus nods: „Aristophanes «Theonian» I have looked.” 色拉西布洛斯点点头:“阿里斯托芬的《戴奥尼亚人》我看过。” „ The Theonia alliance makes the alien race person the citizen not only, but also makes the leaders of these alien race people the Theonia council senior statesman, becomes high-level general of army! Also because of this, the Bruttii mountainous area and Lucania area becomes the Theonia territory one after another, perhaps the Theonia present land area has surpassed and of our Athens and Sparta. “戴奥尼亚联盟不光让异族人成为公民,还让这些异族人的首领成为戴奥尼亚元老院的元老,成为军队的高级将领！也因为这样,布鲁提山区、卢卡尼亚地区相继成为戴奥尼亚的领地,戴奥尼亚现在的土地面积恐怕已经超过我们雅典和斯巴达之和了。 Moreover under initiatives of their archon , in Theonia vigorous construction path and bridge, the promotion believes in Hades, even also constructs the temple of alien race person, building the school, constructs the academy, to recruit the scholar and doctor and an entire Theonia popular football competition...... , if unvexed, according to Theonia such development trend, more than ten years later, possibly presented a powerful city-state alliance on the peninsula of Italy, it not only far exceeds Greek each city-state in the territory, in the population, moreover is not weak in the trade and culture in our Athens, may it already and Greece. Traditional culture entirely different...... ” 而且在他们那个执政官的倡导下,戴奥尼亚境内大力的修建道路和桥梁,推广信奉哈迪斯,甚至还修建异族人的神庙,建学校、建学园、吸收学者和医生、整个戴奥尼亚流行一种橄榄球比赛……如果不受干扰,按照戴奥尼亚这样的发展趋势,十几年之后,在意大利的半岛上就可能出现了一个强大的城邦联盟,它不但在领地上、在人口上都远超希腊本土的各个城邦,而且在贸易和文化上也不弱于我们雅典,可偏偏它已经和希腊的传统文化大不相同了……” Listens to the Isocrates words, the Thrasybulus facial expression also becomes dignified, pondered a while, said: „Isocrates, you are the consideration were too many? You must understand that the influence of any dramatic expansion is impossible to expand forever, it breaks up because of internal issue either, either suffers setbacks by the obstuction of external forces, Persia and including with Sparta war before before long beforehand Argos and Greco-Persian Wars we are this, the person ate too many things to support the stomach ache, the country was also same.” 听完伊索克拉底一番话,色拉西布洛斯的神情也变得凝重起来,沉思了一会儿,说道:“伊索克拉底,你是不是考虑的太多了？你要明白任何急剧扩张的势力不可能永远扩张下去,它要么因内部的问题而崩解,要么由外部势力的阻扰而受挫,很久以前的阿哥斯、希波战争前的波斯、包括与斯巴达战争之前的我们都是这样,人吃了太多的东西会撑坏肚子,国家也是一样。” „Perhaps Thrasybulus, Theonia can be an exception.” The Isocrates desperate reminder he said: „What because this alliance adopts is one type is completely different from Mediterranean any political system of country and city-state.” “但是色拉西布洛斯,戴奥尼亚恐怕会是一个例外。”伊索克拉底情急的提醒他说:“因为这个联盟采取的是一种完全不同于地中海任何一个国家和城邦的政治制度。” „? What regime is Theonia?” Asking that Thrasybulus is interested. “哦？戴奥尼亚是什么样的政体？”色拉西布洛斯感兴趣的问道。 „According to my observation there, Theonia said that is a city-state alliance, in fact these ownerships in its city-state, are not city-state, but by Theonia council directly dominant city. Theonia council holds the highest authority, it sends out the senior statesman to hold the post of such as Thurii, Cosenza, Grumentum and other chief executive in cities, is responsible for city's internal affairs management, the finance and taxation of city must turn in council, the army of city is turns over to of named ‚a military affairs section’ council subordinate the organization manages, these city independent administrative abilities, have not obeyed the direction of Theonia council completely......” “根据我在那里的观察,戴奥尼亚说是一个城邦联盟,实际上那些归属于它的城邦,根本就不是城邦,而是被戴奥尼亚元老院所直接统治的城市。戴奥尼亚元老院握有最高权力,它派出元老担任如图里伊、科森扎、格鲁门图姆等各个城市的行政长官,负责城市的内政管理,城市的财税要上缴到元老院,城市的军队则是归元老院下属的一个叫‘军务部’的组织进行管理,这些城市没有独立的行政能力,完完全全听从戴奥尼亚元老院的指挥……” „This...... is a bit like Persia but actually.” Thrasybulus hesitated was just saying, was broken by Isocrates: „Theonia is different from Persia, as far as we know, Persia these city advocating peace governors have the considerably large autonomy, except for paying taxes and providing army, Persian king to they not stronger control method. Therefore couple days ago, Persia Asia Minor Governor Faraba can make the decision, will give us with Persians the fleet of money construction the Athens use, but also the agreement lets our Athens reconstruction city wall, protects to compare Piraeus. If any city chief executive in Theonia alliance, is impossible to make such decision, because Theonia council firmly is controlling all. In my opinion, it can all resources, population and Jin Yinlai effective centralized territory handle the matter that other city-state and countries cannot achieve.” “这……倒有点像波斯。”色拉西布洛斯沉吟着刚说了一句,就被伊索克拉底打断:“戴奥尼亚跟波斯还不一样,据我们所知,波斯的那些城主和总督是有相当大的自主权,除了缴税和提供军队,波斯王对他们并没有更强的控制办法。所以前几天,波斯的小亚细亚总督法拉巴佐斯可以自己做决定,将用波斯人的金钱筹建的舰队送给我们雅典使用,还同意让我们雅典重建城墙,来防护比雷埃夫斯港。如果是戴奥尼亚联盟中的任何一个城市行政长官,根本不可能做出这样的决定,因为戴奥尼亚元老院牢牢控制着一切。在我看来,它可以有效的集中领地内的所有资源、人口、金银来做一些别的城邦和国家做不到的事情。” The Thrasybulus hear, the look pondered dignifiedly long long time, aspirated finally, said with a smile: „Isocrates, I am asked you to chat Theonia the matter whether to battle against with Syracuse, never expected that you actually mentioned the threat of Theonia alliance to me. Since Theonia is so fierce, it seems like we do not need to be worried about Syracuse again, but must many strengthen the relation on diplomacy with Theonia, hopes that it can help us cope with Sparta.” 色拉西布洛斯听完,神色凝重的思考了良久,最后长吐了口气,笑着说道:“伊索克拉底,我本来是请你来谈谈戴奥尼亚能否与锡拉库扎开战的事,没想到你竟然给我谈起了戴奥尼亚联盟的威胁。既然戴奥尼亚有这么厉害,看来我们也不必再担心锡拉库扎了,还要多跟戴奥尼亚加强外交上的联系,希望它能够帮助我们对付斯巴达。” Isocrates sees Thrasybulus as if not to care his words, but also wants to say anything again, Thrasybulus sincere saying: „Isocrates, you must understand that Athens the key matter of concern is now while the support of Persia, when the entire situation helps us, focuses on defeating Sparta as soon as possible, will weaken this mortal enemy until now, Athens will have a better development! Mediterranean so many city-state and races, each one has the system that oneself are in sole possession, we definitely do not need to worry that this, is worried about that the future matter only then the destiny goddess assurance, no one will talk clearly. But so long as our Athens can maintain the unity and stability of our city-state, deals with the relations with other city-state, develops our trades, strengthens our arming, Athens will also be that magnificent Athens, we did not fear!” 伊索克拉底见色拉西布洛斯似乎没将他的话放在心上,还想再说点儿什么,色拉西布洛斯正色的说道:“伊索克拉底,你要明白雅典现在重点关注的问题就是要趁着波斯的支持,整个形势有利于我们之际,集中力量尽快击败斯巴达,削弱这个一直以来的死敌,雅典才会有更好的发展！地中海那么多城邦和种族,各自都有自己独有的制度,我们完全没有必要去担心这个、担心那个,将来的事情只有命运女神把握,谁也说不清。而我们雅典只要能够维持我们城邦的团结和稳定,处理好与其他城邦的关系,发展我们的贸易,加强我们的武装,雅典就还将是那个辉煌的雅典,我们谁也不怕！” The Thrasybulus words saying exactly Isocrates this belief „Athens was supreme” idea the concern of speech educationalist, saying that he feels a heartfelt admiration: „Right that you said that Athens will certainly recast its magnificence!” 色拉西布洛斯的一番话恰好说中了伊索克拉底这位信奉“雅典至上”理念的演说教育家的心事,他心悦诚服的说道:“你说的对,雅典必将重铸它的辉煌！” ................................. …………………………… Early August, Potentia big leader Puac receives the invitation of Theonia- attended the Hades celebration, but also as before, his tactful rejection, sent out own younger brother Pohlert to go to participate as before. 八月初时,波腾提亚大首领普阿摩特就接到戴奥尼亚的邀请-参加哈迪斯庆典,还像往年一样,他委婉的拒绝了,依旧派出自己的弟弟波勒特前去参加。 Not because he has other what idea to Theonia, but is he has not left the Potentia territory from infancy to maturity. He likes staying in oneself territory, is protecting own clansman, is living the comfortable life. 并未因为他对戴奥尼亚有什么别的想法,而是他从小到大就没离开过波腾提亚的领地。他只是喜欢呆在自己的领地里,守护着自己的族人,过着舒适的生活。
