The Histories
Ionian Greeks of Phocaea who, rather than submit to Harpagus, abandon their city and undertake a long westward migration to Corsica and Italy.
Such was the end of this part of the Phocaeans.
for they pay great honors to the Phocaeans, with religious rites and games and horse-races.
The Phocaeans also manned their ships, sixty in number, and met the enemy in the sea called Sardonian.
Archidamus
The people used as an example of migration to avoid imperial tyranny.
Even more should we deserve the ridicule of men if, having before us the example of the Phocaeans who, to escape the tyranny of the Great King, left Asia and founded a new settlement at Massilia, we should sink into such abjectness of spirit as to submit to the dictates of those whose masters we have always been throughout our history.
