...and Themistocles used some of his bribe to pay off Eurybiades (at least according to Herodotus, who is biased against Themistocles).
Untitled
[edit]Actually, Herodotus is biased in favor of Themistocles (cf. The Herodotean Picture of Themistocles: A Mirror of Fifth-century Athens, by Wolfgang Blösel). Also, taking bribes back then was not uncommon for Athenian Generals and is a well known part of Themistocles' character. All history is biased anyways. I propose to cut out what is in the parenthesis.
Greek spelling
[edit]Is it "Εὐριβιάδης" or "Εὐρυβιάδης"? The latter seems more likely since all the other Eury- names are spelled like that (and Google seems to agree). Adam Bishop (talk) 14:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
