Herodotus

Herodotus. Godley, Alfred Denis, translator. Cambridge, MA; London: Harvard University Press; William Heinemann, Ltd., 1920-1925 (printing).

The Phoenicians were marshalled against the Athenians, holding the western wing toward +Eleusis [23.5583,38.0417] (Perseus) Eleusis. Against the Lacedaemonians were the Ionians, on the eastern wing toward +Piraeus [23.6583,37.9583] (Perseus) Piraeus, and a few of them fought badly according to Themistocles' instructions, but the majority did not.

I can list the names of many captains who captured Hellenic ships, but I will mention none except Theomestor son of Androdamas and Phylacus son of Histiaeus, both Samians.
