Sophocles serves jointly with Pericles as general during the Samian revolt. (According to tradition, Sophocles owes his election to the success of Antigone the previous year.)
Despite a victory by Pericles against superior numbers, the revolt nearly succeeds.
The campaign to recover Samos is long and costly—a four-figure sum in talents—but ultimately successful, and it will become a model against which later Athenian generals measure their achievements.
