10^ The LacedeBmoniana. Embassadors to Sparta.
The first measure which he adopted was to form an alliance with the most powerful of the states of Greece, as he had been directed to do by the oracle. After much inquiry and oonsidv eration, he concluded that the Lacedaemonian state was the most powerful. Their chief city was Sparta, in the Peloponnesus. They were a warlike, stern, and indomitable race of men, capable of bearing every possible hardship, and of enduring every degree of fatigue and ...toil, and they desired nothing but military glory for their reward. This was a species of wages which it was very easy to pay ; much more easy to fur- nish than coin, even for Croesus, notwithstand- ing the abundant supplies of gold which he was accustomed to obtain from the sands of the Pac- tolus.
Croesus sent embassadors to Sparta to in- form the people of t'^*^ plans which he contem- plated, and to ask their aid. He had been in- structed, he said, by the oracle at Delphi, to seek the alliance of the most powerful of the states of Greece, and he accordingly made ap- plication to them.
