The History of Herodotus — Volume 2

This text was prepared from the third edition, printed in 1914, by MacMillan and Co., Limited, St. Martin's Street, London. Greek text has been transliterated and marked with brackets, as in the opening citation above. 1.

Now when the Perinthians were encamped opposite to them in the suburb of their city, a challenge was made and a single combat took place in three different forms; for they matched a man against a man, and a horse against a horse, and a dog against a dog. Then, as the Perinthians were getting the better in two of the three, in their exultation they raised a shout of paion, 1 and the Paionians conjectured that this was the very thing which was spoken of in the oracle, and said doubtless to one another, "Now surely the oracle is being accomplished for us, now it is time for us to act." So the Paionians attacked the Perinthians when they had raised the shout of paion, and they had much the better in the fight, and left but few of them alive. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
