grbs-11851	Raubitschek, Antony E.	The Treaties between Persia and Athens	1964	9	.pdf	application/pdf	3930	116	55	Oath and treaty are contrasted in one and the same sentence which has but one verb; Theopompus challenges here the Hellenic patriotism and the sincerity of the Athenians. This passage, as well as that other about the famous shield signal (6.121-131), has given rise to a pro­ tracted debate about the existence in Athens of a pro-Persian party.6 What is important is the fact that the Athenians wished to conclude an alliance with Persia which should protect them against an impend­ ing Spartan attack, and that the ambassadors actually concluded an alliance by offering on their own account submission to Dareios.	cache/grbs-11851.pdf	txt/grbs-11851.txt
