Tetramnestos son of Anysos; of

99. Of the rest of the officers I make no mention by the way (since I am
not bound to do so), but only of Artemisia, at whom I marvel most that
she joined the expedition against Hellas, being a woman; for after her
husband died, she holding the power herself, although she had a son
who was a young man, went on the expedition impelled by high spirit
and manly courage, no necessity being laid upon her. Now her name, as I
said, was Artemisia and she was the daughter of Lygdamis, and by descent
she was of Halicarnassos on the side of her father, but of Crete by her

and Xerxes changing from his chariot to a ship of Sidon sat down under a
golden canopy and sailed along by the prows of the ships, asking of all
just as he had done with the land-army, and having the answers written
down. And the captains had taken their ships out to a distance of about
four hundred feet from the beach and were staying them there, all having
turned the prows of the ships towards the shore in an even line 94 and
having armed all the fighting-men as for war; and he inspected them
sailing within, between the prows of the ships and the beach.

101. Now when he had sailed through these and had disembarked from his
ship, he sent
