The Histories
Battle in which pursuing Persian forces caught and routed the retreating Ionian army at Ephesus, killing many notable men.
Those of the Ionians who escaped from the battle fled, each to his city.
It chanced that they found the Ionians no longer at Sardis, but following on their tracks, they caught them at Ephesus.
Hellenica
Thrasyllus's attack on Ephesus, repelled by the Ephesians and their allies with heavy Athenian losses on both the Coressus and marsh fronts.
And now, on the seventeenth day after his raid, Thrasyllus sailed to Ephesus;
All these contingents directed their first attack upon the hoplites at Coressus;
The defenders of the city sallied forth to meet the attack,—the Ephesians, the allies whom Tissaphernes had brought them, the crews of the original twenty Syracusan ships and of five others which chanced to have arrived there at the time, newly come from Syracuse under the command of Eucles, the son of Hippon, and Heracleides, the son of Aristogenes, and finally, the crews of two Selinuntine ships.
