Presently Thrasybulus, with about seventy followers, sallied out from Thebes, and made himself master of the fortress of Phyle.

This was the moment for Thrasybulus and his men to snatch up their arms and make a dash at the enemy's position.

Home to Petana comes Thrasybulus lifeless on his shield, seven Argive wounds before.

The messenger took him for a fool, but Periander understood: Thrasybulus was counselling him to slay the principal citizens.

They had commissioned, they said, Theramenes and Thrasybulus to save the shipwrecked men.
