2. Translate into Greek— (a.) The Persians, under the eyes of their king, fought with great bravery, but they were badly generalled, and the place of the combat was unfavourable to them. Their numbers were only an encumbrance, and when the ships in front retreated they hindered the rear from advancing, partly owing to the crowded space and partly to lack of practice in acting together. Among the anecdotes told about this battle the most famous is that which was current at Halicarnassus, of the signal bravery and no less signal good fortune of the Carian queen Artemisia. She saved herself by the stratagem of attacking and sinking another Carian vessel. Those who stood round Xerxes observed the incident, but supposed the destroyed trireme to be Greek. " Sire," they said, " seest thou how Artemisia has sunk an enemy's ship? " And Xerxes exclaimed "My men have become women, my women men." (b.) If I had known by whom these things were done, I should not have believed you. (c.) He went away that no one might see him. (d.) Everybody denied that they knew him. (c.) He was so poor that he did not fear that he would be robbed. (/.) You cannot go away too soon. (g.) I have no place to run to. No. 13. — Greek. —(77.)
