Hellenica
The city of Pellene, an early target of Theban attack and later a place of temporary refuge for Phliasian non-combatants.
Upon his arrival at Phlius they begged him to help them also to convoy their non-combatants to Pellene.
The Thebans, then, after descending in safety and effecting a junction with their allies, the Arcadians, Argives, and Eleans, immediately attacked Sicyon and Pellene;
for by this time the Pelleneans had come back again to their alliance with the Lacedaemonians.
Against Ctesiphon
Achaean city excluded from the list of those who joined the Lacedaemonians.
the Eleans and the Achaeans, all but the people of Pellene, had come over to them, and so had all Arcadia except Megalopolis, and that city was under siege and its capture was daily expected.
On the Treaty with Alexander
An Achaean city whose democracy is said to have been overthrown and replaced with tyranny.
But just reflect, men of Athens, that the Achaeans in the Peloponnese enjoyed democratic government, and one of their democracies, that of Pellene, has now been overthrown by the Macedonian king, who has expelled the majority of the citizens, given their property to their slaves, and set up Chaeron, the wrestler, as their tyrant.
