... I think we may now leave the Persians.
Hear again Phocylides : "A little well-ordered city on a rock is better than frenzied Nineveh. " The old poet means a city of the Greek type, and by " well- ordered " he means governed by a law which guaran- tees the liberties of all in restricting the privileges of each. This, the secret of true freedom, was what the Barbarian never understood. Sperthias and Boulis, two rich and noble Spartans, offered to yield themselves up to the just anger of Xerxe...s, whose envoys had been flung to their death in a deep water-tank. On the road to Susa they were entertained by the Persian grandee Hydarnes, who ELEUTHERIA 89 said to them : Men of Sparta, wherefore will ye not be friendly towards the King ? Beholding me and my condition, ye see that the King knoweth how to honour good men. In like manner ye also, if ye should give yourselves to the King {for he deemeth that ye are good men), each of you twain would be ruler of Greek lands given you by the King.
