Pausanias Description of Greece 1.33.2

[2] About sixty stades from Marathon as you go along the road by the sea to Oropus stands Rhamnus. The dwelling houses are on the coast, but a little way inland is a sanctuary of Nemesis, the most implacable deity to men of violence. It is thought that the wrath of this goddess fell also upon the foreigners who landed at Marathon. For thinking in their pride that nothing stood in the way of their taking Athens , they were bringing a piece of Parian marble to make a trophy, convinced that their task was already finished.

[2] About sixty stadium-lengths from Marathon as you go along the road by the sea to Oropos stands Rhamnous. The houses [ oikēseis] for human habitation are on the coast, but a little way inland is a sacred space [ hieron] of Nemesis, who of all the gods [ theoi] is the most inexorable toward humans who-commit-outrage [ hubristai]. It is thought that the wrath [ mēnīma] of this goddess [( he) theos] countered the barbarians [= Persians] who landed at Marathon. Scornfully thinking that nothing stood in the way of their capturing Athens, they were bringing a piece of Parian marble for the making [ poiēsis] of a trophy [ tropaion], as if their task were already finished.
