| | Fortunately, the city's 100,000 residents had already been evacuated to the nearby island of Salamis and were prepared, if necessary, to flee westward to Italy. | | | What brought the two fleets to Salamis was the advance of Xerxes's army out of Asia and across the Hellespont, the modern Dardanelles, in May. Then, in late August, the Persians broke through a valiant Spartan force at Thermopylae, opening the way to Athens, 90 miles to the southeast. | | | Strauss marvels that Xerxes fell for this ruse -- there may have been intimations that Themistocles was ready to turn traitor -- but the Persian leader ordered his fleet to move before dawn. |
