Histories

At the time that was all. But a great many years later, when the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese on the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont was made subject to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, Miltiades son of Cimon accomplished the voyage from Elaeus on the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese to +Lemnos [25.25,39.916] (island), Lesvos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Lemnos with the Etesian [*](North-east winds, blowing in July, August, and September.) winds then constantly blowing; he proclaimed that the Pelasgians must leave their island, reminding them of the oracle which the Pelasgians thought would never be fulfilled.

The Hephaestians obeyed, but the Myrinaeans would not agree that the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese was Attica [23.5,38.83] (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Attica and were besieged, until they too submitted. Thus did Miltiades and the Athenians take possession of +Lemnos [25.25,39.916] (island), Lesvos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Lemnos.

When the message concerning the fight at Marathon came to Darius son of Hystaspes, already greatly angry against the Athenians for their attack upon Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis, he was now much more angry and eager to send an expedition against Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas.

Immediately he sent messengers to all the cities and commanded them to equip an army, instructing each to provide many more ships and horses and provisions and transport vessels than they had before. Asia (continent)Asia was in commotion with these messages for three years,[*](489-487.) as the best men were enrolled for service against Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas and made preparations.
