Demosthenes
persuades the
Acarnanians
to come to the aid of Naupactus; they supply him with 1000
hoplites, and Naupactus is
successfullydefended.
Eurylochus does not return home, but
instead withdraws to
Calydon
and
Pleuron
in Aetolia,
because the
Ambraciots
have asked for his aid in attacking
Amphilochian
Argos,
Amphilochia,
and
Acarnania,
"affirming that the conquest of these countries would bring all
the continent into alliance with Sparta."
Eurylochus dismisses the Aetolians and
awaits the signal from the Ambracians.
