To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In ac- cordance with the strict orders of Darius, an exception was made in favor of the sacred island of Delos, on which Datis landed and performed a magnificent sacrifice.
The Persians, having safely accomplished their voyage across the jEgean, came to the coast of Euboea, where they first captured the city of Karystus, and thence advanced to Eretria. Meanwhile the Eretrians had appealed to the Athenians for aid, and the latter had sent to their assistance a force of four thousand men. But thi...s detachment, unable to render the Eretrians any efficient service on account of the prevalence of violent factions among the citizens, some of whom were even conspiring to betray the city to the in- vaders, returned to Athens. The Eretrians, notwithstanding the traitors in their midst, made a brave resistance, but in a few days were obliged to surrender. Their country was laid waste, their city plundered, their temples burned, and the surviving inhabitants reduced to slavery, Datis, having thus executed the orders of Darius in regard to Eretria, now turned his thoughts toward Athens.
