History of the Peloponnesian War
Inhabitants of Scione in Pallene who revolt from Athens to Brasidas and are besieged as a result.
And now, towards the close of the summer, Scione was entirely invested;
and both received Brasidas with other marks of honour, and publicly crowned him with a crown of gold, as the liberator of Greece;
Accordingly, at the instigation of Cleon, they at once passed a decree that they should reduce the Scionaeans, and put them to death;
The Histories
The people of Scione, whose general Timoxenus plots treachery at Potidaea but whose collective honor leads the Potidaeans to conceal his exposure.
Having taken Olynthus, Artabazus dealt immediately with Potidaea, and his zeal was aided by Timoxenus the general of the Scionaeans, who agreed to betray the place to him.
The generals read the letter and perceived who was the traitor, but they resolved for Scione 's sake that they would not condemn Timoxenus with a charge of treason, for fear that the people of Scione should hereafter be called traitors.
Hellenica
Greek people whom the Athenians had earlier subjected to harsh treatment, recalled as the Athenians fear retribution.
and during that night no one slept, all mourning, not for the lost alone, but far more for their own selves, thinking that they would suffer such treatment as they had visited upon the Melians, colonists of the Lacedaemonians, after reducing them by siege, and upon the Histiaeans and Scionaeans and Toronaeans and Aeginetans and many other Greek peoples.
