But the Athenians in the fleet suffered most, for the Lamian gulf is a swamp near Thermopylae—the reason being, I think, the hot water that here runs into the sea. These then were more distressed, and the reason is this: taking the Greeks [ Hellēnes] on board, they were forced to sail through the mud, weighed downas they were by arms and men.
