71 Noble indeed are these achievements—yea, and appropriate to those who dispute over the hegemony. But of the same breed as those which have been mentioned, and of such a kind as would naturally be expected of men descended from such ancestors, are the deeds of those who fought against Darius and Xerxes.At the decisive battles of Marathon, 490 B.C., and Salamis, 480 B.C. For when that greatest of all wars broke out and a multitude of dangers presented themselves at one and the same time, when our enemies regarded themselves as irresistible because of their numbers and our allies thought themselves endowed with a courage which could not be excelled, we outdid them both,

72 surpassing each in the way appropriate to each;This passage is closely imitated by Lyc. 1.70, and by Aristeides, Isoc. 12.217. and having proved our superiority in meeting all dangers, we were straightway awarded the meed of valor,By general acknowledgement. See Isoc. 4.99 and Isoc. 7.75, Isoc. 8.76. and we obtained, not long after, the sovereignty of the seaAthens obtained the supremacy as the head of the Confederacy of Delos 477 B.C. See Isoc. 7.17; Isoc. 12.67; Hdt. 9.106; Thuc. 1.95; Xen. Hell. 6.5.34. by the willing grant of the Hellenes at large and without protest from those who now seek to wrest it from our hands.

73 And let no one think that I ignore the fact that during these critical times the Lacedaemonians also placed the Hellenes under obligations for many services; nay, for this reason I am able the more to extol our city because, in competition with such rivals, she so far surpassed them. But I desire to speak a little more at length about these two states, and not to hasten too quickly by them, in order that we may have before us reminders both of the courage of our ancestors and of their hatred against the barbarians.
