The terrified generals after the powwow undergoes the urgent consultation, decided that sends out the envoy to apologize to Crotone, and is willing to offer all compensations. 惶恐不安的将军们同议事会经过紧急的磋商后,决定派出使者向克罗托内请罪,并愿意做出一切赔偿。 The news passes to Amendolara, Davos and senior statesmen is startled: After all city-state envoy representative city-state, killing the envoy is the taboo, because that possibly means the war. 消息传到阿门多拉腊,戴弗斯及元老们大吃一惊:毕竟城邦使者代表城邦本身,杀使者乃是大忌,因为那可能意味着战争。 Amendolara cancels the plan of participation isthmus competition immediately, starts to pay close attention to the development of situation. 阿门多拉腊立刻取消了参与地峡赛会的计划,开始密切关注局势的发展。 „Father, then good! The Thurii person must receive the penalties of various god!” Sostratus exciting running in backyard. “父亲,这下好了！图里伊人就要受到诸神的惩罚了！”索斯塔图斯兴奋的跑进后院。 Is lying down in Kunogelata that on the bed, sunbathes to heal from a wound not like the eldest son excited, before this Thurii chief general is sad, the sorrow sighed: „I have said! I had said Nianses will harm Thurii!......” 正躺在卧榻上、晒太阳养伤的库诺戈拉塔并未象大儿子那样兴奋,这位图里伊以前的首席将军面带愁容,哀叹道:“我早就说过！我早就说过涅昂西斯会害了图里伊呀！……” .............................. ………………………… When the Thurii envoy rushes to Crotone at high speed, in fact the Crotone generals obtain the news through the merchant ship, they listen to the words of envoy indifferently, proposed „is willing to offer any compensation that” to Thurii the words not to spare a glance, only said one: „We can go to Thurii to take, wants to take many with many!” 当图里伊使者快马加鞭赶到克罗托内时,实际上克罗托内的将军们已经通过商船得到了消息,他们冷漠的听完使者的话,对图里伊提出的“愿意做出任何赔偿”的话不屑一顾,只说了一句:“我们可以自己去图里伊取,想拿多少就拿多少！” Crotone has tolerated Thurii to be very long. Since hundred years ago after being defeated narrated Bullis, the Crotone strength progresses day by day, became the Magna Graecia pivotal strong nation. But concerned about the Athens powerful strength, has to allow Thurii to construct the city, this regarding „sole” on is domineering and tyrannical in south Italy Crotone, without doubt is a big shame. But after this matter, happen to the new tent/account old debt calculates together, but can also make up for the void of state treasury, kills two birds with one stone. 克罗托内已经容忍图里伊已经很久了。自从百年前打败叙巴里斯后,克罗托内的实力就蒸蒸日上,成为大希腊举足轻重的强邦。可是碍于雅典的强大实力,不得不允许图里伊建城,这对于在南意大利“脚掌”上横行霸道惯了的克罗托内而言,无疑是一大耻辱。而这件事发生后,正好新帐旧账一起算,还可以弥补国库的空虚,一举两得。 On the same day the Crotone all the people congress successfully passed to the resolution that Thurii declared war, and initiated the war mobilization to the citizens. Third day the morning, calls 7000 capable citizen soldiers. Aprustum and Scylletium also sent out 3000 citizen soldiers to come to converge. Because Terina just went through the war, directly faces Bruttians, therefore only sent 30 cavalries to come. Caulonia also indicated to enter the war, by Crotone persuasive words rejection, because south Caulonia was the Locri alliance, Locri and Crotone split for a long time, Caulonia was south Crotone the important barrier, cannot have any accident. 当天克罗托内全民大会就顺利通过了对图里伊宣战的决议,并向公民们发起了战争动员。第三天上午,就召集起七千精壮公民兵。阿斯普鲁斯图姆、西里庭也派出了三千公民兵前来汇合。特里纳因为刚经历战争,又直接面对布鲁提人,因此只派了三十名骑兵前来。考伦尼亚也表示要参战,被克罗托内婉言拒绝,因为考伦尼亚南面是洛克里联盟,洛克里与克罗托内长期交恶,考伦尼亚是克罗托内南边重要的屏障,不能有任何闪失。 Four days later, conducts the sacrifice to offer in the Crotone Apollo temple, after practicing divination attains, Melanseus Ten strategoi leads 10,000 armies to set out enormously and powerful. 四天后,在克罗托内阿波罗神庙进行祭献,占卜获吉后,十将军之一的梅兰修斯率领一万大军浩浩荡荡向被进发。 The war finally broke out between Crotone and Thurii. 战争终于在克罗托内与图里伊之间爆发了。 Obtains the Crotone army to the news that Thurii marches, Nianses is anxious extremely, under colleague's reminder, he proposed to the powwow, convened ecclesia urgently. 得到克罗托内大军向图里伊进军的消息,涅昂西斯焦急万分,在同僚的提醒下,他向议事会提议,紧急召开了公民大会。 At the congress, he fervently expressed views, first told the peace attempt that the Thurii powwow tried hard to make failed, and answering theory of Crotonians, caused many citizens immediately indignant generally. When they hear Crotone to have 10,000 armies attack, on the conference site presented the long-time dreariness. Although the army population of Crotone this attack are less than the population of Lucania tribe allied armies, but this is true Unit Greek Hoplite . Moreover the Crotone citizen soldier consistent the battle efficiency is famous in Magna Graecia. 在大会上,他慷慨陈词,首先讲述了图里伊议事会努力作出的和平尝试遭到失败,并将克罗托内人的回话学说了一遍,当即引起不少公民们的愤概。可当他们听到克罗托内有一万大军进攻时,会场上出现了长久的沉寂。要知道,虽然克罗托内这次进攻的军队人数比卢卡尼亚部落联军的人数少,可这是真正的希腊重步兵,而且克罗托内的公民兵在大希腊一贯以战斗力强著称。 At this time, the vineyard lord Rifes to shout: „We should send out the envoy again, sums to Crotone, and accepts their any requests.” 这时,葡萄园主奥里菲斯喊道:“我们应该再次派出使者,向克罗托内求和,并答应他们任何要求。” „Their requests are to demand more wealth and commodities, but the key was our state treasuries has bottomed!” General Pollux stands, said: „We cannot put out many money to come, only if levies the extra war specific taxes to the citizens.” “他们的要求不过是索取更多的钱财和物资,但关键是我们的国库已经见底了！”将军波吕克西斯站起来,说道:“我们拿不出更多的钱来,除非向公民们征收额外的战争特别税。” Hears to collect taxes, the conference site fell into silent. 一听到要收税,会场又陷入了沉默。 Finally, was devastated and dreaded the citizens of war by the flames of war to make the compromise, they said reluctantly: In order to avoid Thurii suffers the flames of war again, they agree to the collecting taxes request of city hall, but feared even this is unable to satisfy the Crotonians appetite. 最后,备受战火摧残、已经畏惧战争的公民们做出了妥协,他们勉强表示:为了避免图里伊再遭战火,他们同意市政厅的收税要求,但就怕即使这样也无法满足克罗托内人的胃口。 „We must first try.” Plesinas raises the arm to shout loudly: „Loses the wealth also to make again, may lose the family member to regret again already late!” “我们总要先试试。”普莱辛纳斯振臂高喊:“失去钱财还可以再挣回来,可失去亲人再后悔就已经晚了！” This proposition has been passed, Nianses relaxes temporarily. 这项提议得到通过,涅昂西斯暂时松了口气。 „Why does not look for Taranto, requested that it does help us and Crotone mediates?! Since Taranto advocated to establish the Magna Graecia defensive alliance, it does not certainly hope that among city-state had the war!” Also some people stand saying: „Moreover by the Taranto powerful strength, will definitely make Crotone have scruples, truce has the possibility!” “为什么不去找塔兰图姆,请求它帮我们与克罗托内说和？！既然塔兰图姆倡导建立了大希腊防御同盟,它一定不希望城邦之间发生战争！”又有人站起来说道:“而且以塔兰图姆的强大实力,肯定会让克罗托内有所顾忌,停战一事则更有可能！” „This is a great idea, Arney Luse!” Nianses said, the master as Thurii biggest shipyard, the character who Arney Luse cannot easily offend, therefore Nianses nods again and again: „Thank you reminded me, we send people whereabouts Taranto to request reinforcements immediately!” “这是一个好主意,恩阿尼卢斯！”涅昂西斯称赞道,作为图里伊最大造船厂的主人,恩阿尼卢斯可是不能轻易得罪的人物,所以涅昂西斯连连点头:“谢谢你提醒了我,我们马上派人去向塔兰图姆求援！” „Even if there is a possibility of truce, we must hold the plan of failure! If by some chance Crotone is determined to fight, what to do we should?!” Another person stands to say. “即使有停战的可能,我们也要抱有失败的打算！万一克罗托内执意要战,我们该怎么办？！”另一个人站起来说道。 Nianses looked, is Ansitanos is speaking, although because of the Kunogelata incident, two people relates to get into a deadlock, but has to acknowledge that his suggestion is very reasonable. Therefore, Nianses asked: „Respectable Ansitanos, what good suggestion do you have?” 涅昂西斯一看,是安西塔诺斯在说话,虽然因为库诺戈拉塔一事,两人关系闹僵,但不得不承认他的建议很有道理。于是,涅昂西斯问道:“尊敬的安西塔诺斯,你有什么好的建议吗？” „First makes our citizens arm, the Crotonians multi- potential numerous, we cannot outside the city with its direct engagement, then the big city wall will help us resist their attack, wears down their morale......” “首先让我们的公民们武装起来,克罗托内人多势众,我们不能在城外与它正面交战,那么高大的城墙会帮助我们抵挡住他们的进攻,消磨他们的士气……” The Ansitanos words are echoed by many citizen: „Right, Thurii is city garrison, Lucanians takes us not to have the means under the city twice, Crotone is also the same!” 安西塔诺斯的话得到不少公民的认同:“没错,图里伊城防坚固,卢卡尼亚人两次都在城下拿我们没有办法,克罗托内也一样！” Ansitanos continues saying: „Next...... Amendolara is our union, battle efficiency everyone of their soldier are very clear, we should request the aid to them!” 安西塔诺斯继续说道:“其次……阿门多拉腊是我们的同盟,他们士兵的战斗力大家都很清楚,我们应该向他们请求援助！” Mentioned Amendolara, Nianses like eating fly discomfort, but people in attendance expressed the support: „Ansitanos said right! Should seek help they, has them, we can feel relieved!” 一提到阿门多拉腊,涅昂西斯就像吃了苍蝇一样的难受,可偏偏与会者的都纷纷表示赞同:“安西塔诺斯说得对！就应该去求助他们,有他们在,我们才能放心啊！” „I had said for several slaves, will relate to get into a deadlock with Amendolara is fully unworthy, now asks others not so to be perhaps easy!” “我早就说过为了几个奴隶,和阿门多拉腊将关系闹僵完全不值得,现在求人家恐怕不那么容易喽！” ...... …… Words so forth made Nianses listen, color a while azure, a while on face were white, awkward, he made the spirit, said: „This proposition is very good. Burkes, you run one.” 诸如此类的话让涅昂西斯听了,脸上的颜色一会儿青、一会儿白,尴尬不已,他强作精神,说道:“这个提议很好。布尔克斯,你跑一趟吧。” Always temperament temperate Burkes expressed the rejection immediately: „My ability is not good, makes competent Plesinas go.” 一向脾气温和的布尔克斯当即表示了拒绝:“我能力不行,还是让能力强的普莱辛纳斯去吧。” Plesinas one hear, lowers the head does not speak, he knows him, if goes, not only does not request reinforcements successfully, perhaps was also possibly beaten mercilessly. 普莱辛纳斯一听,低头不说话,他知道他要是去,不但求援不成功,恐怕还可能遭毒打。 Also Burkes does not coordinate no wonder, initially he urged the city hall to fulfill the commitment, gives the slave by the freedom. The city hall ignores to his proposition, causes to have the slave rebellion finally, some slaves escape Amendolara. This time was Burkes of general by the understanding Davos, thinks: Amendolara will definitely reject the request of Thurii, might as well refreshed fulfillment pledged, giving the slave is free, but can also achieve to be on good terms the Amendolara goal. 也难怪布尔科斯不配合,当初他就催着市政厅履行承诺,给予奴隶以自由。市政厅对他的提议置之不理,导致最后发生奴隶暴动,部分奴隶逃到阿门多拉腊。这时身为将军的布尔克斯以对戴弗斯的了解,认为:阿门多拉腊肯定会拒绝图里伊的要求,还不如爽快的履行承诺,给予奴隶自由,还能达到交好阿门多拉腊的目的。 Nianses with other generals not only rejected his suggestion, but also thinks: By him and Davos relations, are very difficult to lag behind the face, whereabouts Amendolara demanded the slave, therefore sent tough Plesinas. One of original words when the words that Burkes spoke a moment ago were Nianses refused him to go abroad on a diplomatic mission Amendolara say, now, Burkes comes back the resentment that it is left intact, on face of conceivable Nianses expression splendid. 涅昂西斯与其他将军不但拒绝了他的建议,还认为:以他和戴弗斯的关系,很难拉下脸来,去向阿门多拉腊索要奴隶,所以才派了态度强硬的普莱辛纳斯。布尔科斯刚才所说的话就是涅昂西斯拒绝他出使阿门多拉腊时所说的原话之一,现在,布尔科斯又将它原封不动的怼回来,可以想象涅昂西斯的脸上表情有多精彩。 At this moment, even if Nianses hates Burkes secretly, must the persuasive words request: „Burkes, this relates to the important matter of Thurii life and death! Except for you, others are unable to complete this task! Hopes you can go to Amendolara, requested that Davos dispatches troops to aid!” 此刻,即使涅昂西斯暗恨布尔科斯,也不能不婉言相求:“布尔克斯,这是关系到图里伊生死存亡的大事！除了你,别人都无法完成这项任务！希望你能去一趟阿门多拉腊,请求戴弗斯出兵援助！” Burkes exports the foul odor, in the request sound of citizens, the simple nod complies. 布尔科斯出了口恶气,在公民们的请求声中,干脆的点头答应。 „Amendolara is the place small town, the reinforcements that can send out should not be many, the key must depend on us.” Ansitanos continues saying: „I suggested that mobilizes the freeman to enter the war, and granted gives them the civil rights. Naturally we have had a commitment before, but has not cashed. This time to win them, so long as they comply to enter the war, gives the civil rights immediately!” “阿门多拉腊是座小城,能派出的援军应该不会太多,关键还得靠我们自己。”安西塔诺斯继续说道:“我建议动员自由民参战,并允诺给予他们公民权。当然我们之前已经有过一次承诺,但没有兑现。这一次为了取信他们,只要他们答应参战,就立刻给予公民权！” The suggestion of Ansitanos makes Nianses feel uncomfortable one by one, this suggestion do not say is he, the citizens of attending the meeting based on individual benefit, had almost not agreed that the reply that finally Ansitanos obtains is: „Reconsiders......” 安西塔诺斯的建议一个比一个让涅昂西斯感到难受,这个建议不要说是他,参会的公民们基于个人的利益,几乎没有同意的,最后安西塔诺斯得到的回答是:“再议……” .................................... ……………………………… When Thurii convenes ecclesia, the Crotone army passes through marching of big half day, arrives outside the Krimisa city. 就在图里伊召开公民大会的时候,克罗托内的大军经过大半日的行军,到达克里米萨城外。 Krimisa, this cities at first are the Sybaris colonizing city, after Sybaris perishes, joins the Crotone union. After Athens reconstructs Thurii, mentioned with the agreement content that in Crotone achieves specially: Roscianum and Krimisa must remain neutral. 克里米萨,这座城镇最初是绪巴里斯的殖民城,绪巴里斯灭亡后,又转投克罗托内同盟。在雅典重建图里伊以后,与克罗托内达成的协议内容中专门提到:卡斯特隆、克里米萨必须保持中立。 Now before the Crotone army, Krimisa without hesitation opens the door to greet, and sends out 1000 people in army who on own initiative joins to Crotone. 如今在克罗托内的大军面前,克里米萨毫不犹豫的开门迎接,并主动派出一千人加入到克罗托内的大军中。 .................................... ……………………………… „ Crotone Melanseus, this year 45 years old, young time champion who once obtained the Olympic Games wrestling competition twice, a wrestling champion of isthmus competition. He once participated many times with the fight of Locri and Bruttii, once had twice independent direction combats and wins...... he to fight fiercely, frequently takes the lead, takes the lead to charge, but was actually not liked by the soldier, because after victory he will always like successfully belonging to itself...... to hear that he big delicately and prettily , the life will be luxurious, the favor of Crotone women.

Of his friend often urged him ‚do not pay great attention to dress up, wants to be lower-key’, he said that ‚Apollo granted the brain of his healthy body and spirit and wisdom, if no one envied, could not serve as contrast his outstanding!’ “克罗托内的梅兰修斯,今年四十五岁,年轻的时候曾两次获得奥林匹亚运动会摔跤比赛的冠军,一次地峡赛会的摔跤冠军。他曾多次参加与洛克里、布鲁提的战斗,曾有两次独立指挥作战并获得胜利……他战斗勇猛,经常身先士卒,带头冲锋,但却不受士兵喜欢,因为在胜利后他总喜欢将胜利归于自己……听说他长得高大俊美,又生活奢华,很得克罗托内妇女们的欢心。为此,男人们嫉妒他,故意不投他票,使他多次落选将军的选举。他的朋友常劝他‘不要太注重打扮,要低调些’,他却说‘阿波罗赐予他健美的体魄和智慧的大脑,如果没有人嫉妒,衬托不出他的优秀！’
