2.By the nature of Herodotus’account, it is naturally not impossible that a large portion of the overall account has been lost without leaving any trace. Nevertheless, it is very unusual that we hear nothing at all about why the large Persian army, during the fourteen days it camped in Attica before the battle, did not also occupy Megara, which, after all, lay in front of the isthmus and its wall. A logical explanation would be that the Spartiates, with the army of the Peloponnesians, to the extent that they were not digging in on the isthmus, were occupying the passes leading from Attica to Megara and that Xerxes, unlike his action at Thermopylae—precisely because of his experience at Thermopylae—did not attack because he wanted to do away with the fleet first. Under those circumstances, it is all the more likely that a part of the Greek fleet could have been on the beach at Megara. It is, of course, obvious that this construction is in direct contradiction to the historical narrative.

3.All kinds of conclusions have been proposed as a result of the fact that Xerxes returned by land, while sending his children home with the fleet. For such details, however, so many varied reasons are imaginable that there is little purpose in going deeply into the matter.

1.Not until the Peloponnesian War did the Spartans create cavalry and archer units, in order to defend their land against the Athenians, who would quickly attack from the sea, now here and now there.(Thucydides 4.55.)

1.Athens lost 4,450 hoplites and citizen-cavalrymen; in addition, on each trireme at least a few Athenian citizens as officers. The entire expedition, with all its logistical support, can be estimated at 60,000 men.

1.Böckh, National Economy(Staatshaushalt),1:152,340(3d ed.). The wages varied between 4 obols and 1 drachma(6 obols)per man; for the hoplites, therefore,2 drachmas,1 for the warrior and 1 for his servant, including ration money. When the humorist Theopomp says that a man could feed a wife on 2 obols and that he could be completely happy on 4,he probably means the base pay aside from the ration allowance, which was, where needed, provided by 2 additional obols. At the time of Aristotle the Athenian ephebi received 4 obols daily, their instructors 1 drachma. State of the Athenians(Staat der Athener),Chapter 42.

3.Speech of Nicias, Thucydides 6.68:“… Against men that meet us in a mob and are not picked men as we are, and even against Sicelots, who, on the one hand, despise us, but yet do not stand their ground against us, because their skill is less than their daring.”*

4.Xenophon, Hellenica 1.6.24. The Athenians decided to move out with 110 ships,“putting aboard every one of military age, whether they were slave or free. Even many of the knights went on board.”*

5.According to a report contained in Polyaenus 3.3,Tolmidas, when he was once supposed to move out with 1,000 hoplites, was joined by 3,000 volunteers. Two passages in Aristophanes seem to contradict this. In The Knights, verse 1369,Demos expresses the wish that men will no longer be excused from hoplite service by favoritism, and in Peace, verse 1179,an individual is very unhappy because he finds that he is suddenly once again called up for service, and he complains that in general the country people are oppressed in this regard, while the city dwellers are given the preference. It is clear, therefore, that at that time(424 and 421 B.C.)the army levy had not yet become a purely voluntary, reimbursed service.

6.In Aristotle, On the State of the Athenians, Chapter 24,where he explains that the mass of Athenians lived from the state(by virtue of the taxes of the allies),it is also said that the city maintained 2,500 hoplites. It is not easy to say how we should interpret this. There can be no thought of a standing army. The peripoloi, who had a strength of about 2,000,can hardly be meant here. Perhaps there existed an arrangement whereby 2,500 men were to keep themselves in a special degree of readiness at any given moment, were occasionally assembled, had to drill, and received a small reimbursement. It can hardly have been otherwise, at any rate, with the 1,200 cavalrymen and 1,600 archers whom Aristotle mentions in the same line. Beloch, in Klio 5:357,expressed the conjecture that it must simply have been 12,500 instead of 2,500,and, in the end, that seems to me to be the most logical solution.
