So, as Agesilaus' people were setting up the altars for
-
sacrifices before they took off,
-
along the road came a Theban army,
-
knocked over all of the altars, and asked them who the hell
-
invited him into Boeotia in the first place,
-
to get the hell out of there, grossly insulting Agesilaus
-
and forcing him to skulk out of Aulis,
-
not in the grand way that he had imagined.
-
This turned out to be very significant.
-
Agesilaus took it personally.
-
He didn't like that, and I suppose --
-
well, never mind I was about to make a bad joke, let it go.
