While the revolutionary passions thus for the
first time displayed themselves in the factions of Corcyra, Eurymedon and
the Athenian fleet sailed away;
[2]
after which some five hundred Corcyrean exiles who had succeeded in
escaping, took some forts on the mainland, and becoming masters of the
Corcyrean territory over the water, made this their base to plunder their
countrymen in the island, and did so much damage as to cause a severe famine
in the town.
[3]
They also sent envoys to Lacedaemon and Corinth to negotiate their
restoration; but meeting with no success, afterwards got together boats and mercenaries
and crossed over to the island, being about six hundred in all; and burning their boats so as to have no hope except in becoming masters of
the country, went up to Mount Istone, and fortifying themselves there, began
to annoy those in the city and obtained command of the country.
