ch. 213
7.213.1
The king was at a loss as to how to deal with the present difficulty. Epialtes son of Eurydemus, a Malian, thinking he would get a great reward from the king, came to speak with him and told him of the path leading over the mountain to Thermopylae. In so doing he caused the destruction of the Hellenes remaining there.
7.213.2
Later he fled into Thessaly in fear of the Lacedaemonians, and while he was in exile, a price was put on his head by the Pylagori note when the Amphictyons assembled at Pylae. Still later he returned from exile to Anticyra and was killed by Athenades, a Trachinian.
7.213.3
Athenades slew Epialtes for a different reason, which I will tell later in my history, note but he was given no less honor by the Lacedaemonians. It was in this way, then, that Epialtes was later killed.
