This guy is the king of digressions. Here's the story of how the Greeks fought the Persians at Thermopylae and Marathon. But first, read this volume on the customs and diet of Egypt. A typical chapter will be: King Darius did X. While doing X, he had servant B. This is the whole history of servant B. Servant B is Scythian. Here's the sum of my knowledge about Scythia.
