On the following day they summoned to the Odeum A building designed for musical performances. It was
									just outside the city, to the south-east. the hoplites
								who were on the roll and the cavalry also. Then Critias rose and
								said: We, gentlemen, said he, are establishing this government no
								less for you than for ourselves. Therefore, even as you will share
								in honours, so also you must share in the dangers. Therefore you
								must vote condemnation of the Eleusinians who have been seized, that
								you may have the same hopes and fears as we. Then he showed them a
								place and bade them cast their ballots therein, in plain sight of
								everybody. Now the Laconian guardsmen were in one half of the Odeum, fully
								armed; and these proceedings were pleasing also to such of the
								citizens as cared only for their own advantage. Soon after this Thrasybulus took the men of
								Phyle, who had now gathered to the number of about one thousand, and
								came by night to Piraeus. When the Thirty learned of this, they at
								once set out against him, with the Laconian guardsmen and their own
								cavalry and hoplites; then they advanced along the carriage road
								which leads up to Piraeus. And for a time the men from Phyle tried to prevent their coming up,
								but when they saw that the line of the town wall, extensive as it
								was, needed a large force for its defence, whereas they were not yet
								numerous, they gathered in a compact body on the hill of 404
										B.C. Munichia. On the eastern side of the Piraeus peninsula. 
								And the men from the city, when they came to the market-place of
									Hippodamus, The architect of
									the market-place, as well as of the whole town of
									Piraeus. first formed themselves in line of battle, so
								that they filled the road which leads to the temple of Artemis of
								Munichia and the sanctuary of Bendis; and they made a line not less
								than fifty shields in depth; then, in this formation, they advanced
								up the hill. As for the men from Phyle, they too filled the road, but they made a
								line not more than ten hoplites in depth. Behind the hoplites,
								however, were stationed peltasts and light javelin-men, and behind
								them the stone-throwers. And of these there were many, for they came
								from that neighbourhood. And now,
								while the enemy were advancing, Thrasybulus ordered his men to
								ground their shields and did the same himself, though still keeping
								the rest of his arms, and then took his stand in the midst of them
								and spoke as follows: Fellow-citizens, I wish to inform some of you and to remind others
								that those who form the right wing of the approaching force are the
								very men whom you turned to flight and pursued four days ago, but
								the men upon the extreme left—they, yes they, are the Thirty, who
								robbed us of our city when we were guilty of no wrong, and drove us
								from our homes, and proscribed those who were dearest to us. But
								now, behold, they have found themselves in a situation in which they
								never expected to be, but we always prayed that they might be.
