Histories

“Save me, your suppliant, O king of Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, from captive slavery, for you have aided me till now, by making an end of those men who hold sacred nothing of the gods or of any divinities. Coan I am by birth, the daughter of Hegetorides, son of Antagoras; in Kos City [27.3,36.8917] (Perseus)Cos the Persian seized me by force and held me prisoner.”

“Take heart, lady,” Pausanias answered, “for you are my suppliant, and furthermore if you are really the daughter of Hegetorides of Kos City [27.3,36.8917] (Perseus)Cos, he is my closest friend of all who dwell in those lands.” For the present, he then entrusted her to those of the ephors who were present. Later he sent her to +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina, where she herself desired to go.
