And now, the remainder of the Grecian sea-force, hearing that the
fleet which had been at Artemisium, was come to Salamis, joined it
at that island from Troezen - orders having been issued previously
that the ships should muster at Pogon, the port of the Troezenians.
The vessels collected were many more in number than those which had
fought at Artemisium, and were furnished by more cities. The admiral
was the same who had commanded before, to wit, Eurybiades, the son
of Eurycleides, who was a Spartan, but not of the family of the
kings: the city, however, which sent by far the greatest number of
ships, and the best sailers, was Athens.
