When those from +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium had put in at Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis, the rest of the Hellenic fleet learned of this and streamed in from Troizen [23.375,37.5] (Perseus)Troezen, for they had been commanded to assemble at Pogon, the harbor of Troizen [23.375,37.5] (Perseus)Troezen. Many more ships assembled now than had fought at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, and from more cities.

The admiral was the same as at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, Eurybiades son of Euryclides, a Spartan but not of royal descent. The ships provided by the Athenians were by far the most numerous and the most seaworthy.
