Histories

Xerxes, then, was now in Asia (continent)Asia, and when Artabazus came near +Pallene [23.8833,38.05] (Perseus) Pallene in his return (for Mardonius was wintering in +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly and Macedonia (region (general)), EuropeMacedonia and making no haste to come to the rest of his army), he thought it right that he should enslave the people of +Potidaea (deserted settlement), Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Potidaea, whom he found in revolt.

When the king had marched away past the town and the Persian fleet had taken flight from Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis, +Potidaea (deserted settlement), Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Potidaea had openly revolted from the barbarians and so too had the rest of the people of +Pallene [23.8833,38.05] (Perseus) Pallene.

Thereupon Artabazus laid siege to +Potidaea (deserted settlement), Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Potidaea, and suspecting that +Olynthus [23.3667,40.3] (Perseus) Olynthus too was plotting revolt from the king, he laid siege to it also. This town was held by Bottiaeans who had been driven from the Thermaic gulf by the Macedonians. Having besieged and taken +Olynthus [23.3667,40.3] (Perseus) Olynthus, he brought these men to a lake and there cut their throats and delivered their city over to the charge of Critobulus of +Torone [23.8167,40.05] (Perseus) Torone and the Chalcidian people. It was in this way that the Chalcidians gained possession of +Olynthus [23.3667,40.3] (Perseus) Olynthus.
