Histories

“Adeimantus, you have turned your ships to flight and betrayed the Hellenes, but they are overcoming their enemies to the fulfillment of their prayers for victory.” Adeimantus did not believe them when they said this, so they spoke again, saying that they could be taken as hostages and killed if the Hellenes were not seen to be victorious.

So he and the others turned their ships around and came to the fleet, but it was all over. The Athenians spread this rumor about them, but the Corinthians do not agree at all, and they consider themselves to have been among the foremost in the battle. The rest of Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas bears them witness.

Aristides son of Lysimachus, the Athenian whom I mentioned a little before this as a valiant man, did this in the commotion that arose at Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis: taking many of the armed men who were arrayed along the shore of Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis, he brought them across and landed them on the island of Psyttalea, and they slaughtered all the Persians who were on that islet.

When the battle was broken off, the Hellenes towed to Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis as many of the wrecks as were still there and kept ready for another battle, supposing that the king could still make use of his surviving ships.
