"The Argives," says Plutarch, "having put fifteen hundred of their citizens to death, the Athenians ordered sacrifices of expiation, that it might please the gods to turn the hearts of the Athenians from so cruel a thought."
"Argiboek", dio Plutarkok, "mila eta bostehun hiritar hil zizkietelarik, atenastarrek pekamen-sakrifizioak egin zituzten, jainkoek atenastarren bihotzetatik halako pentsamendu ankerrak ken zitzaten".
