What the description of Sphacteria has to tell us

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

You mean in spring you'll be here??? I think we'll need to burn the forest in order to re-enact it correct hock:
The island is higher in ther South and North end and is lower near the center,where is also a bit narrower. The first garisson of 30 hoplites who were emediately killed where on the south. Theywere cought on sleep. In the North the island is much higher and offers a great defensive position. The Spartans believe it was invincible,but it wasn't so because it they had left it completely unprotected,also being busy with the other battles. The surround took place in the center of the isliand where the island is more flat. This is where the Spartans were camped. The psiloi were in all the high spots around.
