Then the Samians took from the men of +Hermione [23.2583,37.3833] (Perseus) Hermione , instead of money, the island Hydrea which is near to the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnesus , and gave it to men of Troizen [23.375,37.5] (Perseus) Troezen for safekeeping; they themselves settled at +Khania [24.33,35.516] (inhabited place), Canea, Crete, Greece, Europe Cydonia in +Crete [25,35.166] (region), Greece, Europe Crete , though their voyage had been made with no such intent, but rather to drive Zacynthians out of the island.

[2] Here they stayed and prospered for five years; indeed, the temples now at
+Khania [24.33,35.516] (inhabited place), Canea, Crete, Greece, Europe
Cydonia
and the shrine of
Dictyna are the
Samians' work;
[3] but in the sixth year
Aeginetans and
Cretans came and defeated them in a sea-fight and made slaves of them; moreover they cut off the ships' prows, that were shaped like boars' heads, and dedicated them in the temple of
Athena in
+Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe
Aegina
.
[4] The
Aeginetans did this out of a grudge against the
Samians; for previously the
Samians, in the days when
Amphicrates was king of
+Nisos Samos [26.8,37.75] (island), Samos, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe
Samos
, sailing in force against
+Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe
Aegina
, had hurt the
Aeginetans and been hurt by them. This was the cause.
