	Wikinfo \| Battle of Naupactus (429 BC) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Battle of Naupactus was a naval battle between the Athenian fleet under Phormio and a combined Spartan and Corinthian fleet.
		The Spartan general Cnemus, with a fleet and 1000 hoplites, ravaged Acarnania, while Phormio and the Athenian fleet waited in the Gulf of Corinth for the Corinthian fleet in case it tried to attack Naupactus.
		Phormio continued to follow the Corinthians, which combined with the Spartan fleet, led by Timocrates, Brasidas, and Lycophron.

	Phormio
		Phormio: one of the most important Athenian commanders during the first phase of the Peloponnesian War (431-404), the Archidamian War (431-421).
		Phormio was sent to the west with thirty ships, took Argos by storm, sold the Ambraciots as slaves, and gave the city to its original inhabitants, who joined Acarnania.
		Phormio had made a good impression upon the Acarnanians, because they requested that his successor in Naupactus would be his son Asopius.

	Victories of Phormio
		The Athenian admiral Phormio was sent around the Peloponnese to Naupactus, at the entrance of the Gulf of Corinth, where he could obstruct all traffic between Corinth and its colonies in the west, especially Acarnania and Corcyra.
		Phormio, who commanded 20 ships, was able to force his enemies to battle near Patras - or, to be more precise, neat Rion and Antirion.
		[2.83] Meanwhile the fleet from Corinth and the rest of the confederates [...] was compelled to fight with Phormio and the twenty Athenian vessels stationed at Naupactus.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.06.09
		Barsby notes the few places where Terence introduces a Roman allusion, such as a reference to gladiatorial fights in Phormio 964, or the first surviving use of the later commonplace that Fortune favors the brave (with its punning juxtaposition of "fortis" and "Fortuna") in Phormio 203.
		Barsby says quite correctly that Phormio is a very different person from the more conventional parasite or sponger, Gnatho, whom Terence had staged in The Eunuch.
		For although Phormio is much more than a craven dinner-cadging parasite, Terence does remind us of his interest in food as a metaphor and, at the end of the play, reward him with a sumptuous meal at the home of Nausistrata and Phaedria, in defiance of the humiliated father Chremes.

	History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides (chapter8)
		Meanwhile Phormio sent word to Athens of their preparations and his own victory, and desired as many ships as possible to be speedily sent to him, as he stood in daily expectation of a battle.
		Phormio also coasted along to Molycrian Rhium, and anchored outside it with twenty ships, the same as he had fought with before.
		Phormio, meanwhile, being himself not without fears for the courage of his men, and noticing that they were forming in groups among themselves and were alarmed at the odds against them, desired to call them together and give them confidence and counsel in the present emergency.

	Phormio
		The wife on Lemnos came to Athens and died there, leaving her daughter (Phanium) to arrange her funeral alone (Chremes was away at the time).
		There Antipho saw her, fell in love and took her as his wife, with the aid of an adventurer (Phormio).
		His father and Chremes are furious on their return and give Phormio 3,000 drachmas to marry the girl himself; but this money is used to buy the lute-player for Phaedria.

		Ambrosiana H 75 inf.), over a brief stretch of the Phormio, carries readings derived neither from Γ nor from Δ, but on close examination this idea is seen to be without foundation.
		The aim of the present paper is to discuss in detail the use of imagery as a feature of chraracterisation, applying the methods used by W.G. Arnott in “Phormio Parasitus” (G and R) 17, 1970 32–75 to the full range of character types.

		The lively action and well-constructed plot of the "Phormio" make it an ideal introduction to Terence and to the Roman comic genre.
		It well illustrates Terence's subtle handling of plot and character - two fathers, two wayward sons in love, the latter abetted by the scheming slave and by the parasite who gives his name to the play.
