上次看到,希波战争一触即发。

最后通牒来了As afinal warning the King of Persiasent messengers to the Greeks asking for “earth and water” as a token of theirsubmission.

没有“两国交战,不斩来使”的传统The Greeks promptly threw the messengers into the nearest well wherethey would find both “earth and water” in large abundance and thereafter ofcourse peace was impossible.

有个神-父还是很必要的,这是“神N代”。 But theGods of High Olympus watched over their children and when the Phoenician fleetcarrying the Persian troops was near Mount Athos,the Storm-God blew his cheeks until he almost burst the veins of his brow,

神奇飓风帮了希腊人(日本也被眷顾过) and the fleet was destroyed by a terrible hurricane and the Persianswere all drowned.

第一回合,希腊胜!
