althybius descended on ambassadors, nor abated until it was satisfied. The venting of it, however, on the sons of those men who went up to the king to appease it, namely on Nicolas son of Bulis and Aneristus son of Sperthias (that Aneristus who landed a merchant ships crew at the Tirynthian settlement of Halia and took it),Halia was a port in Argolis. The event took place probably between 461 and 450, when Athens and Argos were allied against Sparta. makes it plain to me that this was the divine result of Talthybius' anger.
