[99] Remember the men who at Dipaea¹ fought against the Arcadians, of whom we are told that, albeit they stood arrayed with but a single line of soldiery, they raised a trophy over thousands upon thousands; remember the three hundred who at Thyrea² defeated the whole Argive force in battle; remember the thousand who went to meet the foe at Thermopylae ,
