The Twitter Herodotus

4.141 An Egyptian in the army with the loudest voice in the world called out to Histiaeus, who brought the ships back to re-form the bridge.

4.142 So the Persians escaped. The Scythians thought the Ionians unmanly (if one thought of them as free men) or very loyal (if as slaves).

4.143 Darius crossed the Hellespont back into Asia, leaving Megabazus behind as his general in Europe.

4.144 Megabazus subjugated all the people in the Hellespont who did not voluntarily medize (i.e., side with the Persians).

4.145 There was another expedition...but I'll get to it later. The Minyae, descendants of the Argonauts, settled among the Lacedaemonians.

4.146 But when the Minyae became insolent, the Lacedaemonians decided to kill them. The Minyae escaped from jail, however, dressed as women.

4.147 About this time the Lacedaemonians were sending a colony out to Thera (formerly Calliste) under Theras.

4.148 Some of the Minyae went off w/Theras. (The rest established themselves in the NW Peloponnese, driving out the previous populations.)

4.149 Theras’ grandson Aegeus was the founder of a Spartan tribe whose kids kept dying until they built a temple to Laius and Oedipus.

4.150 The Theraeans say the Delphic oracle bid Grinnus to found a city in Libya; he suggested a young man like Battus do it instead.
