Histories

They fought that sea-fight with doubtful issue, and nightfall ended the battle; the Greeks sailed back to +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, and the barbarians to +Aphetae [23.1167,39.1167] (Perseus) Aphetae, after faring far below their hopes in the fight. In that battle Antidorus of +Lemnos [25.25,39.916] (island), Lesvos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Lemnos, the only one of the Greeks siding with the Persian, deserted to the Greeks, and for that the Athenians gave him land in Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis.

When darkness came on, the season being then midsummer, there was abundance of rain all through the night and violent thunderings from +Pilion (mountain range), Nomos Magnisias, Thessaly, Greece, Europe Pelion. The dead and the wrecks were driven towards +Aphetae [23.1167,39.1167] (Perseus) Aphetae, where they were entangled with the ships' prows and jumbled the blades of the oars.

The ships crews who were there were dismayed by the noise of this, and considering their present bad state, expected utter destruction; for before they had recovered from the shipwreck and the storm off +Pilion (mountain range), Nomos Magnisias, Thessaly, Greece, Europe Pelion, they next endured a stubborn sea-fight, and after the sea-fight, rushing rain and mighty torrents pouring seaward and violent thunderings.
