A further attempt at this time to extend Athenian northern interest, the colonizing expedition sent to the Thracian town called Ennea Hodoi (“Nine Ways”), the site of the later Amphipolis, is less successful.

If silver is one coveted commodity, shipbuilding timber is another, and the desire for the latter is a large part of Athens' motive for getting a foothold in the Amphipolis region.

Ten thousand settlers are sent as colonists, but the entire force is destroyed at Drabescus.

This is probably the occasion for instituting state burial for war dead, a democratic measure that anticipates the reforms at the end of the 460s.
