The Histories
Citizens of Croton who are divided over surrendering Democedes but ultimately let the Persians leave empty-handed.
Some Crotoniats, who feared the Persian power, would have given him up;
so the Persians lost Democedes and the galley with which they had come, and sailed back for Asia, making no attempt to visit and learn of the further parts of Hellas now that their guide was taken from them.
How do you think King Darius will like this insolence? What good will it do you if he gets away from us? What city will we attack first here? Which will we try to enslave first?”
