I am tired of mopping things. Have some Thucydides.
2.6.1 And having done this they sent a messenger to Athens, and gave up the bodies to the Thebans under a truce, and arranged matters in the city as seemed best to them considering this event.
2.6.2 And they had sent word to the Athenians already about what had happened in Plataia. At the same time the Athenians gathered together as many men of the Boeotians as were in Attica, and sent a herald into Plataia; they urged the Plataians to do nothing just yet to the Theban men whom they held, until they could form a plan concerning those men;
2.6.3 for it hadn't yet been reported to them that the men were killed. For the first messenger went out right when the Thebans entered the city, and the second one exactly when the Thebans were conquered and captured; and the the last messenger hadn't heard what happened. In this way, the Athenians wrote to them unaware; and their herald, on arriving in Plataia, found that the men had been slaughtered.
2.6.4 And after these things the Athenians, having advanced an army into Plataia, brought in grain and left guards; and they brought out the unfit (for war) men, the women, and the children.
