Histories

Deiphonus, the son of this Evenius, had been brought by the Corinthians, and was the army's prophet. But I have heard it said before now, that Deiphonus was not the son of Evenius, but made a wrongful use of that name and worked for wages up and down Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas.

Having won favorable omens, the Greeks put out to sea from Delos [25.2833,37.4] (Perseus)Delos for +Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Samos. When they were now near Calamisa in the Samian territory, they anchored there near the temple of Hera which is in those parts, and prepared for a sea-fight. The Persians, learning of their approach, also put out to sea and made for the mainland with all their ships save the Phoenicians, whom they sent sailing away. It was determined by them in council that they would not do battle by sea,

for they thought themselves overmatched; the reason of their making for the mainland was that they might be under the shelter of their army at Mykale [26.8667,38.1] (Perseus)Mykale, which had been left by Xerxes' command behind the rest of his host to hold Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia. There were sixty thousand men in it, and Tigranes, the noblest and tallest man in Iran [53,32] (nation), AsiaPersia, was their general.
