To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The news threw that city into uproar and despair. The Delphic oracle was appealed to, but it prophesied utter destruc- tion. Themistocles (perhaps by bribery) finally secured from the priestess an additional prophecy, that when all else was destroyed, " wooden walls " would still defend the Athenians. Many citizens then wished to retire within the wooden palisade of the Acropolis; but Themistocles, the guiding genius of the stormy day, persuaded them that the oracle meant the " wooden walls " o...f their ships.
The Greek fleet had withdrawn from Artemisium, after the Persians won the land pass ; and the Spartan admiral was bent upon retiring at once to the position of the Peloponnesian army, at the isthmus. P>y vehement entreaties, Themistocles persuaded him to hold the whole fleet for a day or two at Athens, to help remove the women and children and old men to Salamis and other near-by islands. More than 200, 000 'One Spartan, who had been left for dead by the Persians, afterward re- covered and returned home.
