6.93 The Aeginetans defeated the Athenians and captured four of their ships.

6.94 Meanwhile, Darius was keen to deal w/Greece. He made Datis & Artaphrenes generals and sent them to enslave the Athenians & Eretrians.

6.95 Their forces gathered in Cilicia, a vast army and 600 ships. They sailed west from Samos thru the Aegean (fearing Athos, I think).

6.96 They landed first at Naxos, enslaved whomever they caught, and burned the Naxians' temples and city.

6.97 The Delians fled as the Persians neared, but Datis told them Delos wouldn't be harmed, as it was the birthplace of two gods.

6.98 After Datis left Delos the island experienced an earthquake, having never had one before--a portent of troubles to come in Greece.
