Athenades slew Epialtes for a different reason, which I will tell later in my history,[*](The expression suggests Herodotus' intention of continuing his history beyond 479, the year with which Book IX ends; but see How-Wells ad loc.) but he was given no less honor by the Lacedaemonians. It was in this way, then, that Epialtes was later killed.
