For war is of two kinds, civil and foreign; the first of which is

properly termed 'discord,' and only the second 'war;' and war

between Hellenes is in reality civil war-a quarrel in a family,

which is ever to be regarded as unpatriotic and unnatural, and

ought to be prosecuted with a view to reconciliation in a true

phil-Hellenic spirit, as of those who would chasten but not

utterly enslave. The war is not against a whole nation who are a

friendly multitude of men, women, and children, but only against

a few guilty persons; when they are punished peace will be

restored. That is the way in which Hellenes should war against

one another-and against barbarians, as they war against one

another now.
