After doing this, Datis sailed with his army against +Eretria [23.8083,38.3917] (Perseus) Eretria first, taking with him Ionians and Aeolians; and after he had put out from there, Delos [25.2833,37.4] (Perseus)Delos was shaken by an earthquake, the first and last, as the Delians say, before my time. This portent was sent by heaven, as I suppose, to be an omen of the ills that were coming on the world.
