e people of Hermion are
Dryopians, driven out by Heracles and the Malians from the land which is
now called Doris.

44. These were the Peloponnesians who joined the fleet, and those of
the mainland outside the Peloponnese were as follows:--the Athenians,
furnishing a number larger than all the rest, 29 namely one hundred and
eighty ships, and serving alone, since the Plataians did not take
part with the Athenians in the sea-fight at Salamis, because when the
Hellenes were departing from Artemision and come near Chalkis, the
Plataians disembarked on the opposite shore of Boeotia and proceeded to
the removal of their households. So being engaged in saving these,
they had been left behind. As for the Athenians, in the time when
the Pelasgians occupied that which is now called Hellas, they were
Pelasgians, being named Cranaoi, and in the time of king Kecrops they
came to be called Kecropidai; then when Erechtheus had succeeded to his
power, they had their name changed to Athenians; and after Ion the son

46. Of the islanders the Eginetans furnished thirty; these had also

while with the thirty which sailed best they joined in the sea-fight at
Salamis. Now the Eginetans are Dorians from Epidauros, and their
island had formerly the name of Oinone. After the Eginetans came the
Chalkidians with the twenty ships which were at Artemision, and
the Eretrians with their seven: these are Ionians. Next the Keians,
furnishing the same as before and being by race Ionians from Athens. The
Naxians furnished four ships, they having been sent out by the citizens
of their State to join the Persians, like the other islanders; but
neglecting these commands they had come to the Hellenes, urged thereto
by Democritos, a man of repute among the citizens and at that time
commander of a trireme. Now the Naxians are Ionians coming originally
from Athens. The Styrians furnished the same ships as at Artemision, and
the men of Kythnos one ship and one fifty-oared galley, these both being
Dryopians. Also the Seriphians, the Siphnians and the Melians served
with the rest; for they alone of the i
