  Delian League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carystus, a city on the southern tip of Euboea, was forced to join the League by military actions of the Athenians.
The justification for this was that Carystus was enjoying the advantages of the League (protection from pirates and the Persians) without taking on any of the responsibilities.
Naxos, a member of the Delian League, attempted to secede, and was enslaved; Naxos is believed to have been forced to tear down her walls, lost her fleet, and her vote in the League.

The assumption was that Carystus was not part of the DL and that this expedition compelled her to join.
This is the first known case of compulsion being used to join the DL and it seemed to have approval.
Carystus was unpopular because of its medizing, and it was considered unfair that she should benefit from DL efforts and protection from piracy unless she became a member.

When Apollo later became wroth with the Ionians and sent a plague against them, only Branchus was able to purify them: sprinkling the multitude with boughs of bay, he bade them chant a magical hymn to Apollo and his sister Artemis.
As the renown of Branchus’ prophetic shrine spread throughout Ionia, Leodamas, the last king of Miletus, dedicated to it a tithe of the spoils from his triumphal campaign against Carystus.
These included a woman from Carystus with an infant at her breast, whom Branchus took as his wife, adopting the child as his own son.

And when he was young, he was so very intemperate and profligate, that he used always to carry money about with him, to procure the instant gratification of his passions; and he used also to hide money in the narrow alleys, for this purpose.
And Antigonus, of Carystus, says in his Lives, that his father had been the chief man of the city, and had kept chariots for the Olympic games.
He also asserts that Polemo was prosecuted by his wife, on the charge of ill-treatment, because he indulged in illicit pleasures, and despised her.

 From The Delian League To The Athenian Empire
Further evidence of expansionistic Athenian policy can be seen in the case of Carystus, the one city in Euboea which declined membership of the Delian League.
At the time of the Carystian incident the Persians still controlled these regions, and thus Carystus could become a stepping stone to mainland Greece and encourage other Euboean cities to leave the league.

Besides this there is another story told, which I do not at all believe.
To wit, that Onetas the son of Phanagoras, a native of Carystus, and Corydallus, a man of Anticyra, were the people who spoke on this matter to the king, and took the Persians across the mountain.
One may guess which story is true, from the fact that the deputies of the Greeks, the Pylagorae, who must have had the best means of ascertaining the truth, did not offer the reward for the heads of Onetas and Corydallus, but for that of Ephialtes of Trachis.
