Episode 52: To the North of Side, two Cappodacian tribal leaders, of the same family, continue to raid and pillage. The Basileus, currently visiting Salamis, is impressed by Kelanor Itanou Kretikou. Private meetings are held between them, on the subject of the Cappodacian threat. It is decided, that an army shall be raised, to be led by Kleanor, and the necessary tax and man-power burdens, shall fall, primarily, on Side and Halikarnassos. Hence, a general muster in those regions begins and, after a time, an army is brought together. Ophellas Pelopos, a long standing friend of Kleanor, is appointed second in command. His orders are to command the center, but also, the Karian, Lykian, Pamphylian and Psidian reserves, whilst, on the right, Klenor shall command his hand-picked contingents of Kretans and other soldiers from Salamis. Once again, Keltic contingents are present, led separately by their own leader. They shall hold the left flank. The army marches north and offers battle to the Cappodacian brothers. The offer is accepted, although reports suggest panic in the enemy ranks. Just before the battle, a messenger arrives, with disturbing news of a far larger, better equipped and trained, Seleukid army, approaching from the west. The intentions of the Seleukids are unclear. For a moment, Kleanor hesitates, but decides he still wishes to deal with the Cappodacian threat first. Then, when victorious, move west to confront the Seleukid incursion.
