Athens and Inaros\'s Rebellion

[P. Lilius Frugius Simius]

Khairete!

While I'm working on my incoming novel (about the Goths) that I will start writing in November, I'm planning into retaking an old project of mine (mainly to get rid of my researching obsession).

This is an episode from old, Pericles's Athens, circa 460BCE, when help was sent to Egypt to assist a certain Inaros in a rebellion to liberate Egypt from Artaxerxes's rule, and, after six tough years, they were finally defeated by a Megabyzus... One of the first major blows to a growing unstoppable Athens, and an interesting, drammatical episode of our beloved first democracy...

I know of Thucidides's account of this episode (about a paragraph! it surely hurt too much to mention it one too many times), there must be other primary and secondary sources I can check...

By the looks of it, it will be, nevertheless, mostly historical fiction, but I can try to make it a good one!

So, please, I accept recommendations for historical events regarding Inaros's rebellion and the destiny of those Athenians trapped into the desert towards Cyrene, or trapped by Megabyzus and conductus before Artaxerxes himself (dependng on the version).

thanks!
