To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Again, there are almost no omens worth mentioning in the account of the second war in comparison with those that are enumerated in c. 13. In the poem of Rhianus there seems neither to have been a reference to the guilt of the Messenians, so as to explain why they were punished, nor were the wrong doings of the Spartans set forth, so as to justify the retribution. (Note that c. 17 belonged to Myron's account, and that c. 14 is a paraphrase of a Tyrtaean verse. ) Accordingly the idea of retributi...on is only touched upon in Rhianus (c. 21, 10), whereas in Myron it stands in close connec- tion both with the earlier Messenian history and the restoration. If we turn our attention more particularly to Myron's history we shall find that destiny played an important role there. But let us first examine some reasons that show us that Myron's introduc- tion must have included a sketch of the earliest history of Messenia. This account of the earliest history shows us that the Messenians had a right to their land, and that this was recognized by the Spartans.
