speaker_2NARRATOR
This was to deliberate concerning the Hellenic sanctuaries which the barbarians had burned down, concerning the sacrifices which were due to the gods in the name of Hellas in fulfillment of vows made when they were fighting with the barbarians, and concerning the sea, that all might sail it fearlessly and keep the peace.
speaker_2NARRATOR
To extend this invitation, twenty men, of such as were above fifty years of age, were sent out, five of whom invited the Ionians and Dorians in Asia and on the islands between Lesbos and Rhodes, five visited the regions on the Hellespont and in Thrace as far as Byzantium, five others were sent into Boetia and Phocis and Peloponnesus, and from here, by way of the Ozolian Locrians, into the neighboring continent, as far as Acarnania and Ambracia, while the rest proceeded through Euboea to the Oceans and the Malaic Gulf and the Pithodic Achaeans and the Thessalians, urging them all to come and take part in the deliberations for the peace and common welfare of Hellas.
speaker_2NARRATOR
But nothing was accomplished, nor did the cities come together by deputy, owing to the opposition of the Lacedaemonians, as it is said, since the effort met with its first check in Peloponnesus.
speaker_2NARRATOR
I have cited this incident, however, to show forth the man's disposition and the greatness of his thoughts.
LennyNARRATOR
As Themistocles sailed along the coasts, wherever he saw places at which the enemy must necessarily put in for shelter and supplies, he inscribed conspicuous writings on stones, some of which he found to his hand there by chance, and some he himself caused to be set near the inviting anchorages and watering-places.
LennyNARRATOR
In these writings he solemnly enjoined upon the Ionians, if it were possible, to come over to the side of the Athenians, who were their ancestors, and who were risking all in behalf of their freedom; but if they could not do this, to damage the barbarian cause in battle, and bring confusion among them.
LennyNARRATOR
By this means he hoped either to fetch the Ionians over to his side, or to confound them by bringing the barbarians into suspicion of them.
LennyNARRATOR
Although Xerxes had made a raid up through Doris into Phocis, and was burning the cities of the Phocians, the Hellenes gave them no succour.
LennyNARRATOR
The Athenians, it is true, begged them to go up into Boeotia against the enemy and make a stand there in defence of Attica, as they themselves had gone up by sea to Artemisium in defence of others; but no one listened to their appeals.

Graham RedmanNARRATOR
But Criteras the Macedonian tells something like this about the death of the man.
Graham RedmanNARRATOR
After the exile of Themistocles, he says, the people waxed wanton, as it were, and produced a great crop of sycophants, who hounded down the noblest and most influential of men, and subjected them to the malice of the multitude, now exalted with its prosperity and power.
Graham RedmanNARRATOR
Among these he says that Aristides also was convicted of bribery, on prosecution of Diophantus of the deme Amphitrope, for having taken money from the Ionians when he was regulating the tributes, and further, that being unable to pay the judgment, which was fifty minas, he sailed away and died somewhere in Ionia.
Shirley AndersonNARRATOR
For the women collected gifts for them, calling their names in the hymn made for them by Olen of Lycia.
Shirley AndersonNARRATOR
It was from Delos that the islanders and the Ionians learned to sing hymns to Opis and Arge, calling upon their names and collecting gifts.
Shirley AndersonNARRATOR
This Olen, after coming from Lycia, also made the other and ancient hymns that are sung at Delos.
Shirley AndersonNARRATOR
Furthermore, they say that when the thigh-bones are burnt in sacrifice on the altar, the ashes are all cast on the burial-place of Opis and Arge, behind the temple of Artemis, looking east, nearest the refectory of the people of Ceos.

Rita ButrosNARRATOR

speaker_13NARRATOR
The development of the epic.
speaker_13NARRATOR
During the twelfth century before Christ there came a mighty upheaval, involving the fall of Mycenae and the final ruin of her splendid civilization.
speaker_13NARRATOR
New adjustments of territory took place, and wholesale migrations of Greek-speaking peoples, calling themselves Achaeans, Aeolians, Ionians, or Boeotians, to the littoral of Asia Minor.
speaker_13NARRATOR
The stir and adventure of moving tribes, the prowess of their champions, the mingling of men of the same race, though of different clans, on the edge of a country where barbarians filled the hinterland, developed a new pride in national achievement, and furnished, in fact, just the conditions most favorable for the development of the epic.
John BurlinsonNARRATOR
At this time almost all the forces of Athens were at Samos.
John BurlinsonNARRATOR
From this island as their naval base of operations, they were trying to win back some of their Ionian allies who had revolted, and were watching others who were disaffected.

John BurlinsonNARRATOR
If this once came up, no hope of safety was left for their city.

John BurlinsonNARRATOR
So when Lysander missed all his aims, and saw that his interested efforts for his friends were an obstacle to their success, he not only ceased to give them his own aid, but begged them not to wait upon him nor pay him their court, but to confer with the king, and with such as had more power to benefit those who showed them honor than was his at present.
John BurlinsonNARRATOR
Most of those who heard this refrained from troubling him about their affairs, but did not cease paying him their court; nay, rather, by waiting upon him in the public walks and places of exercise, they gave Agesilaus even more annoyance than ever, because he envied them the honor.
John BurlinsonNARRATOR
Therefore, though he offered most of the Spartans commands in the field and governments of cities, he appointed Lysander his carver of meats; and presently, as if by way of insult to the Ionians, he said, "Let them be off, and pay their court now to my carver of meats." Accordingly, Lysander determined to have a conference with him, at which a brief and laconic dialogue passed between them.
John BurlinsonNARRATOR
"Verily, thou knowest well, Agesilaus, how to abase friends." To which Agesilaus, "Yes, if they would be greater than I; but those who increase my power should also share in it." "Well, perhaps thy words, Agesilaus, are fairer than thy deeds.

Later, at South Gates, I saw an early-designed old yacht tumbling at its leisure to pieces in a dilapidated boat shed.
speaker_2NARRATOR
It is the same elsewhere, notably at Tolton, where, in particular, an ancient hulk of a houseboat leans helplessly against a wall at the rear of the Commodore, whose complexity of designs cover several periods of architecture, probably Egyptian, Ionian, early English, and Futurist.
