Ionian leaders to engage the Athenians, Alcidas declines. Rather, Alcidas leads his fleet to

Corcyra where a revolution has broken out. Spartan leaders,
Brasidas and Alcidas, then defeat a fleet of Corcyran ships. However, they retire when word reaches them that 60 Athenian ships from
Leucas under the command of
Eurymedon have been dispatched to intercept them.
