Quote:What about Abronichus?Good point; I had not thought it. That changes a lot. When I'm in the library, I will see if Hignett addresses this point. For the moment, I can only say that I would not overestimate the quality of information going up and down between Thermopylae and Artemisium (Herodotus never understood that the two had something to do with each other) but I admit your objection is a very strong one.
