The Twitter Herodotus

4.201 Finally the Persians took Barca by stratagem: they tricked the Barcaeans into making a treaty & opening the gates, then they attacked.

4.202 The guilty were given to Pheretime, who impaled the men around the walls. As for the women, she cut off their breasts & hung them up.

4.203 The Persians, after hemming and hawing about taking Cyrene too (they didn't), then returned to Egypt.

4.204 The Persians gave the Barcaeans they'd enslaved to the king, who settled them in a village in Bactria. They called the place Barca.

4.205 Pheretime died badly, contracting a disease that made her body swarm with worms. Thus the gods punished her undue vengeance on Barca.
