II. Athenians occupy I'l/ltcs, chap. !1 23.
Demosthenes advises the fortification of Pylus. ;! Whilst the Athenian squadron was olf Lacoiiia, news came that the Peloponnesian fleet had reached Coi-cyra. Eurymedon and Sophocles then wished to follow it, but Demosthenes requested them to toucJi first at Pylus, a rocky headland in the old Messenian territory, about 400 stadia [nearly 50 mi...les] from Sparta, and called by the Lacedemonians, Coryphasium. Whilst they were objecting, a storm drove their ships to Pylus, when De- mosthenes, pointing out abundance of wood and stone, urged them to fortify the place, which was strong and undfcupied. The two generals replied, that there were many other promontories in Peloponnesus which he might occupy if he wished to put the state to the expense. But Demosthenes considered that Pylus was most advan- tageous because of the adjacent harbour, and because also tlic Messenians, who were its ancient inhabitants, and spoke the same dialect as the Lacedaimonians, might be faitliful guardians of the place, and injure the enemy by incursions fi'ora thence.
