298?
#10
There are probably many variations on the tale. I read that one of the Ophthalmia sufferers committed suicide, after his return to Sparta and the other, having been treated like a coward, demonstrated such desperate courage at Plataea that he was reprimanded for his recklessness! Such a "Catch 22" has the ring of truth to it.

As Stefanos rightly says, I do agree about the Thespians.
