When those stationed with Xerxes' fleet had been to see the Laconian disaster at +Thermopylae [22.5583,38.8] (Perseus) Thermopylae, they crossed over from +Trachis [22.55,38.8] (Perseus) Trachis to Histiaea, waited three days, and then sailed through the Euripus, and in three more days they were at Phalerum, the port of Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens. I think no less a number invaded Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens by land and sea than came to Sepias and +Thermopylae [22.5583,38.8] (Perseus) Thermopylae.

Those killed by the storm, at +Thermopylae [22.5583,38.8] (Perseus) Thermopylae, and in the naval battles at +Artemisium [23.2417,39.0083] (Perseus) Artemisium, I offset with those who did not yet follow the king: the Melians and Dorians and Locrians and the whole force of Boeotia (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Boeotia except the Thespians and Plataeans; and the Carystians and Andrians and Teneans and all the rest of the islanders, except the five cities whose names I previously mentioned. The farther into Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeHellas the Persian advanced, the more nations followed him.
