Insults by "Representative Men. " "Must we then consider the possibility of war with Eng- land over some fancied insult or question of National Honor? It is certain that representative men of both na- tions have no slightest disposition to insult or prejudice or injure the people of the other nation. " — Rev. Charles Dole, "Spirit of Democracy. " 105. Personal Wrongs. "At Mitylene it was a feud arising about heiresses that proved to be the beginning of a world of troubles and more especially of... the war with the Athenians in which their city was captured by Paches. The circumstances were as follows: A rich citizen named Timpphanes died, leaving two daughters. Dexandros, who had been a rejected suitor for them on behalf of his sons, became the prime mover in the feud and as he was Athenian counsel at Mity- lene incited the Athenians to declare war. Again in Phocis it was a quarrel of which an heiress was the subject be- tween Mnasias, the father of Mneson, and Euthycrates, the father of Onomanchus, that proved to be the beginning of the Phocian sacred war.
