	Comparing the Land & Sea Battles of Ramses III with those of Nectanebo I
		The recall of Chabrias probably occurred in the winter of 380/379 BC, since the next winter he held the Athenian frontier against Cleombrotus and in the early summer of 378 BC helped defend Thebes against Agesilaus.
		The Athenians, being eager to gain the favour of the Persian King and to incline Pharnabazus to themselves, quickly recalled Chabrias from Egypt and dispatched Iphicrates as general to act in alliance with the Persians.
		The king himself, having command of the Egyptians and being general of the whole army, gave no heed to the advice of Agesilaus to remain in Egypt and conduct the war through the agency of his generals, though the advice was sound.

		On the course and results of the war there is a strange discrepancy between Xenophon and Plutarch on the one side, and Diodorus on the other.
		358 Chabrias was sent to succeed Athenodorus as commander in Thrace ; but he arrived with only one ship, and the consequence was that Charidemus renounced the treaty he had made with Athenodorus, and drove Chabrias to consent to another most unfavourable to the interests of Athens.
		At the siege of Chios, which was the first operation of the war, he advanced with gallant rashness into the harbour, before the rest of the fleet, and, when his ship was disabled, he refused to save his life by abandoning it, and fell fighting.

		Chabrias also, when he was general of the Athenians, carried on many wars in Europe; and he engaged in one in Egypt of his own accord; for setting out to assist Nectanabis,
		Chabrias, seeing Agesilaus's good fortune, and thinking himself in no respect inferior to him, set out to assist them of his own accord, and took the command of the Egyptian fleet, while Agesilaus held that of the land forces.

	Teos
		For example, there were diplomatic contacts with the rebellious satrap Orontes, a navy of 200 ships had been built, the Greek city of Athens had sent their admiral Chabrias to support Egypt, the aged Spartan king Agesilaus was present as well, and coins had been minted (for the first time in Egypt's history).
		Chabrias and the navy remained faithful to their king, but Agesilaus sided with Nectanebo.
		When Athens recalled Chabrias (late Summer), Teos was left without support, and fled to the Persian court, where king Artaxerxes granted him refuge.

	Phocion the Good
		Chabrias had a tendency to procrastinate, but once the battle-frenzy seized him, Chabrias would become too daring.
		As he was able to motivate Chabrias when lazy, and calm him down when reckless, Phocion became a valuable staff officer, and Chabrias entrusted more and more responsibilities to Phocion.
		Chabrias gave Phocion twenty ships and told him to go and collect the tribute from the islands under Athenian control.

		Upon which account Chabrias, who was a good-natured, kindly-tempered man, loved him much, and procured him commands and opportunities for action, giving him means to make himself known in Greece, and using his assistance in all his affairs of moment.
		The victory was gained at the time of the Great Mysteries, and Chabrias used to keep the commemoration of it by distributing wine among the Athenians, yearly, on the sixteenth day of Boedromion.
		After this, Chabrias sent Phocion to demand their quota of the charges of the war from the islanders, and offered him a guard of twenty ships.

		For example: `Chiefly because I thought it was to the interest of the State that the law should be abrogated, but also for the sake of Chabrias' boy, I have agreed to plead, to the best of my ability, my clients' case' (Demosthenes, Against Leptines 1).

		Persian attacks in 385 and 383, commanded by Pharnabazus and Tithraustes, were repulsed by Egyptian soldiers and Greek mercenaries, which were commanded by the Athenian general Chabrias, and a period great prosperity started.
		The Persian king Artaxerxes II Mnemon was aware of the troubles surrounding the accession of Nectanebo, and decided to attack Egypt.
		In the last years of Nectanebo's reign, he negotiated with some of the rebellious Persian satraps, and plans were made for an attack on the Achaemenid empire, where Phoenicia was a natural target.

		376, at the battle of Naxos, in which he commanded the left wing of the Athenian fleet, and contributed in a great measure to the victory [chabrias].
		Plutarch tells us that his skill and gallantry at the battle of Naxos caused his countrymen thenceforth to regard him as one likely to do them good service as a general.
		Yet for many years, during which Chabrias, Iphi-crates, and Timotheus chiefly filled the public eye, we do not find Phocion mentioned as occupied prominently in any capacity.

	Agesilaus by Plutarch
		Tachos, suspecting it, immediately applied himself both to Agesilaus and Chabrias, with great humility beseeching their continuance in his friendship.
		Chabrias consented to it, and did what he could by persuasion and good words to keep Agesilaus with them.
		The two Egyptians also sent their ambassadors to Lacedaemon, the one to claim continuance of the league already made, the other to make great offers for the breaking of it, and making a new one.

		The whole navy was entrusted to the excellent Greek admiral Chabrias, while the infantry included over 10,000 mercenaries and 1,000 allied heavy infantrymen from Sparta, under the command of their king Agesilaus.
		“Agesilaus was not appointed commander of the entire force, as he was hoping, but only given command of the mercenaries, whilst Chabrias the Athenian was put in charge of the entire fleet.
		Djedhor’s grandson Nectabo, who commanded part of the contingent, and whose father had been left to run the day to day affairs of Egypt while Djedhor was at war, sensed an opportunity.

		This gained him the affection of Chabrias, who was a man of candour and probity; and he assigned him commissions and enterprises of great importance, which raised him to the notice of the Greeks.
		This battle was won during the celebration of the great mysteries; and Chabrias, in commemoration of it, annually treated the Athenians with wine on the sixteenth day of the month of Boedromion.
		He therefore went in his own galley, and by addressing himself to the city and magistrates in an open and humane manner, he succeeded so well as to return with a number of ships which the allies fitted out, and at the same time put their respective quotas of money on board.

		A powerful army gathered by the previous king, Achoris (reigned 393-380 BC), and largely composed of Greek mercenaries, was entrusted by Nectanebo to the Athenian Chabrias.
		The Persians, however, succeeded in causing Chabrias' recall and marched against Egypt with a force of 220,000.
		The Egyptians suffered an initial reverse, but through the indecision of the Persian general Pharnabazus, they were able to collect their forces, outflanking the delaying invaders near Mendesin the Delta and forcing them to retreat.

		This book attempts to bridge the same gap that yawned before Ober's feet (and earned him Harding's misunderstanding)--the gap between stones in the Attic countryside and political history as it can be derived from literary sources.
		Moving on from this, Munn examines the Boeotian War in a more general way, detailing the role of Chabrias, the Athenians' reasons for supporting Thebes, and their reasons for bailing out in 375 and coming to terms with Sparta.
		So it happened that the Boeotian War set Athens' agenda for years ahead: not 'defensive mentality' on the Ober model, but a combination of security at home with strong nerves and hard-headed calculation of what was best for Athens abroad.

		In his youth he served as a soldier under Chabrias, a general with whom he became such a favorite as to be selected from among the whole army to conduct enterprises of importance and trust.
		In return, Chabrias gave his young friend opportunities to distinguish himself, and at the sea-fight of Naxos he behaved with so much valor that he won a great reputation in Greece.
		After Chabrias was killed, Phocion continued to be friendly with his family, and tried very hard to improve his son, who was a stupid, badly-behaved fellow.

		But just after the Abderites had suffered so great a disaster and were on the point of being besieged, Chabrias the Athenian suddenly appeared with troops and snatched them out of their perils.
		Other sources, and Diordorus himself, state that Chabrias died eighteen years later in Chios.

		This was the first thing which vexed Agesilaus; then, whilst he found the prince's arrogance and empty pretensions hard to bear, he was compelled to put up with them.
		He even sailed with him against the Phoenicians, and, setting aside his sense of dignity and his natural instincts, he showed deference and subservience, until he found his opportunity.
