Synopsis
Excerpt from The Topography of Athens, and the Demi, Vol. 2: The Demi of Attica
In my Opinion, says Herodotus the Persians, when they entered Attica, were not less numerous either by land or sea, than when they arrived at Thermopylae and Sepias; for against the men who had perished in the storms at sea, and in the battles at Thermopylae and Artemisium, I will place those who had not yet followed the king; namely, the Melieusos, the Dorians, the Locri, and the Boeotians; the last of whom joined him with all their forces, except those belonging to Thespise and Plataea. He was reinforced also by the Carystii, the Andrii and Tenii, as well as by all the islanders except those of the five cities which I have already mentioned. The Patii, however, awaited at Cythnus the event of the war; all the others joined Xerxes at Phale rum; and thus the farther be advanced in Greece, the more numerous his armament became.
