He not only ravaged a great strip of seashore, as Tolmides had done before him, but also advanced far into the interior with the hoplites from his ships, and drove all his enemies inside their walls in terror at his approach, excepting only the Sicyonians, who made a stand against him in Nemea, and joined battle with him; these he routed by main force and set up a trophy for his victory.

Remark :
victim: The victims are Sicyonians. They are named as victims instead of perpetrator because they lost the battle to Pericles. Perpetrators in this system are usually the victors. long-term consequence: After the end of the battle Pericles sets up a trophy for his victory.
