To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Light-armed troops in parties of 200 were ordered to harass it on all sides without coming to close quarters. The Spartans were wearied by a struggle against an enemy with whom they could not grapple ; the cries of their assailants made it impossible for them to hear their own words of command, and the ashes of the trees which were blown about by the wind prevented them from seeing clearly. The attacking party were themselves surprised at being able to make such an impression upon the dreaded S...partans. The latter now abandoned the centre of the island, and withdrew to the higher ground in the north, where they had a respite for the moment, but after a little while were obliged to yield, as there was no water there. Besides this, the leader of the Messenians offered to climb with some bowmen to a spot which commanded the Spartan position, and carried out his design. The Spartans were now confronted with the alter- native of surrender or death. The Athenians of course desired the former, and summoned them to yield.
