<p class="blocktext">Gyges has now finally become the king of the Lydians, though his popularity was less than stellar. Therefore, he, and those who opposed him, went to the Oracle at Delphi (also known as Pythia) to receive confirmation of Gyges’ reign. The Oracle gives both the confirmation and a warning.</p>

<p>Ἒσχε δὲ τὴν βασιληίην καὶ ἐκρατύνθη ἐκ τοῦ ἐν Δελφοῖσι χρηστηρίου. ὡς γὰρ δὴ οἱ Λυδοὶ δεινόν ἐποιεῦντο τὸ Κανδαύλεω πάθος καὶ ἐν ὅπλοισι ἦσαν, συνέβησαν ἐς τὠυτὸ οἳ τε τοῦ Γύγεω στασιῶται καί οἱ λοιποὶ Λυδοί, ἤν μὲν τὸ χρηστήριον ἀνέλῃ μιν βασιλέα εἶναι Λυδῶν, τόν δὲ βασιλεύειν, ἤν δὲ μή, ἀποδοῦναι ὀπίσω ἐς Ἡρακλείδας τὴν ἀρχήν.</p>

<p>He took over the reign, which was strenghthened by the Oracle at Delphi; for the Lydians considered the suffering of Candaules a terrible thing and they were, therefore, armed; so both Gyges’ supporters and the rest of the Lydians agreed that if the Oracle should consider him to be the king, he will be; should the Oracle decide against his being being king, the reign would fall back to the Heraclids.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Oracle picked Gyges and the reign, thus, belonged to him; but the Oracle said that some Heraclids will come for the fifth generation of Gyges’ descendants. The Lydians, and those who ruled them, did not care much about this; at least not, before it was not fulfilled</p>
