The second invasion of the Peloponnesians was prolonged for forty
days, and the whole Attic territory was laid waste. Pericles again
refused to venture a pitched battle against them, knowing well that
the Athenian army was no match for them in the open field. But a
powerful fleet was sent to cruise round Peloponnesus, which
inflicted much damage on the coast districts. It was a welcome
relief to the Athenians selected for this service to escape for a
time from the plague-stricken city; but unhappily they carried the
infection with them, and the crews were decimated by the same
disease.
