Excerpt from Salamis in Easy Attic Greek: With Introduction, Notes and Vocabulary During the fighting at Thermopylae the Greek and Persian fleets had been engaged at Artemisium and the neighbourhood but the results were less decisive. The losses On both sides were. Severe. During operations extending over three days the Persians lost no less than 600 triremes in two violent storms; and the Greeks suffered heavily in much desperate fighting. Then the news of Thermopylae settled the question. The Greeks sailed with all speed to the Isthmus of Corinth; this was to be their next line of defence. The consternation at Athens, thus sacrificed to the Barbarian, was extreme. But Themistocles bade the people abandon their city and trust to their Wooden Walls.' The fleet was first employed in conveying the non-fighting population to various places of safety; and then it took up its position in the land-locked bay of Salamis, in order to protect the Isthmus from attack by sea.
