Histories

There king Darius settled the Eretrians, and they dwelt in that place until my time, keeping their ancient language. Such was the fate of the Eretrians.

After the full moon two thousand Lacedaemonians came to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, making such great haste to reach it that they were in Attica [23.5,38.83] (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Attica on the third day after leaving Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta. Although they came too late for the battle, they desired to see the Medes, so they went to Marathon and saw them. Then they departed again, praising the Athenians and their achievement.

It is a wonder to me, and I do not believe the story, that the Alcmeonidae would ever have agreed to hold up a shield as a sign for the Persians out of a desire to make Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens subject to foreigners and to Hippias; for it is plain to see that they were tyrant-haters as much as Callias (son of Phaenippus and father of Hipponicus), or even more so.
