Names and Terms for Quiz 4 (Oct 24)
There may appear on this quiz names from Quiz 3 list, as well as the following: Eumelos, Diomedes, Antilochus, Menelaus, Idomeneus, Astyanax, Eetion, Deiphobos,  Aphodite, Apollo, Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athene, Hermes;  Spartans (who are the same as the Lacedaemonians), Leonidas, Xerxes, Thermopylae, Persians (the same as the Medes), Demaratus, Ephialtes

A note on the Herodotos reading: we are jumping forward in time from the Mycenean to the Classical period of Greece.  The battle described in this passage is the first major engagement in the Persian Wars (480-479 BCE), in which the Spartans (the most powerful (for now) of the Greek city states) under king Leonidas went forth to meet Xerxes, king of the great Persian empire, at Thermopylae (you can get some sense of the difficult terrain from a photo showing the bluff above the sea). The Greeks, i.e. Spartans, did not stop the Persians, who contined their invasion, but were finally stopped and turned back in a naval battle (Salamis, in which the Athenians (the second most powerful city state in Greece) were dominant) and a land battle (Plateia).  The victory over the Persians set the stage for 75 years of Athenian dominance in Greek affairs and a tremendous burst of intellectual activity we associate with Classical Greece.
