The portrait is in the Long Stoa, where stands an agora for those living near the sea - those farther away from the harbor have another - but behind the stoa near the sea stand a Zeus and a Demos, the work of Leochares. This Leosthenes at the head of the Athenians and the united Greeks defeated the Macedonians in Boeotia and again outside Thermopylae forced them into Lamia over against Oeta, and shut them up there. Here is a portrait of Leosthenes and of his sons, painted by Arcesilaus. ![]() ![]() Both their images are of bronze Zeus holds a staff and a Victory, Athena a spear. And the children of Themistocles certainly returned and set up in the Parthenon a painting, on which is a portrait of Themistocles.ġ.1.3 The most noteworthy sight in the Peiraeus is a precinct of Athena and Zeus. For it is said that the Athenians repented of their treatment of Themistocles, and that his relations took up his bones and brought them from Magnesia. Even up to my time there were shipsheds there, and near the largest harbor is the grave of Themistocles. But when Themistocles became archon, since he thought that the Peiraeus was more conveniently situated for mariners, and had three harbors as against one at Phalerum, he made it the Athenian port. Their port was Phalerum, for at this place the sea comes nearest to Athens, and from here men say that Menestheus set sail with his fleet for Troy, and before him Theseus, when he went to give satisfaction to Minos for the death of Androgeos. For a fortification was built on it and a palisade constructed by Patroclus, who was admiral in command of the Egyptian men-of-war sent by Ptolemy, son of Ptolemy, son of Lagus, to help the Athenians, when Antigonus, son of Demetrius, was ravaging their country, which he had invaded with an army, and at the same time was blockading them by sea with a fleet.ġ.1.2 The Peiraeus was a deme from early times, though it was not a port before Themistocles became an archon of the Athenians. Farther on is Laurium, where once the Athenians had silver mines, and a small uninhabited island called the Island of Patroclus.
