Arthouros spoke:
"Philoi, esteemed members of the assembly, our forces have won a great victory at Krete! Allow me to commend Doros for his military prowess.
As to the matter of how the Kretai should be governed:
I PROPOSE that we make Krete a democratic Kleroucheia.
That our fleet was sunk by the Kretoi pirates is troublesome, as it both means that Doros is stranded at Krete, and that our naval power in the Aegean is compromised.
Therefore, I PROPOSE that we raise a new fleet preferably a fleet of Trireme in order to nullify this problem."
Arthouros sat down, collecting his thoughts before entering the discussions on who should be the Athenian candidate for the offices of Strategos and Hegemon.
