The Spartans capture Ithome (litho)

Image description: The Spartans capture Ithome. In BC 459 the stronghold of Ithome, in which the rebellious Helots and their Messenian allies had held out for ten years, fell at last to the Spartans. This heroic defence won a grudging respect even from the besiegers themselves. The Helots were again enslaved, but the Messenians were allowed to migrate and settle in the seaport town of Naupactus, which was presented to them by the Athenians.
