being brought up in the house of his
father's brother Miltiades in the Chersonese, while the younger son
was being brought up at Athens with Kimon himself, having been named
Miltiades after Miltiades the settler of the Chersonese..

104. This Miltiades then at the time of which we speak had come from the
Chersonese and was a general of the Athenians, after escaping death in
two forms; for not only did the Phenicians, who had pursued after him as
far as Imbros, endeavour earnestly to take him and bring him up to the
presence of the king, but also after this, when he had escaped from
these and had come to his own native land and seemed to be in safety
from that time forth, his opponents, who had laid wait for him there,
brought him up before a court and prosecuted him for his despotism in
the Chersonese. Having escaped these also, he had then been appointed a
general of the Athenians, being elected by the people.

105. First of all, while they were still in the city, the generals sent
off to Sparta a herald, namely Pheidippides 94 an Athenian and for the
rest a runner of long day-courses and one who practised this as his
profession. With this man, as Pheidippides himself said and as he made
report to the Athenians, Pan chanced to meet by mount Parthenion, which
is above Tegea; and calling aloud the name of Pheidippides, Pan bade him
report to the Athenians and ask for what reason they had no care of him,
though he was well disposed to the Athenians and had been serviceable to
them on many occasions before that time, and would be so also yet again.
Believing that this tale was true, the Athenians, when their affairs had
been now prosperously settled, established under the Acropolis a temple
of Pan; and in consequence of this message they propitiate him with
sacrifice offered every year and with a torch-race..

106. However at that time, the time namely when he said that Pan
appeared to him, this Pheidippides having been sent by the generals was
in Sparta on the next day after that on which he left the city of
the Athenians; and when he had come to the magistrates he said:
"Lacedemonians, the Athenians make request of you to come to their help
and not to allow a city most anciently established among the Hellenes to
fall into slavery by the means of Barbarians; for even now Eretria has
been enslaved, and Hellas has become the weaker by a city of renown."
He, as I say, reported to them that with which he had been charged,
