Theenvoys proceeded to Sidon, in Phoenicia, where two armed triremes anda large store-ship were got ready by their orders. In these they sailedto the coast of Greece, which they fully surveyed, and even went as faras Italy. The cities were also visited, and the story of all they hadseen was carefully written down.
At length they arrived at Tarentum, in Italy, not far from Crotona, thenative place of Democedes. Here, at the secret suggestion of the wilysurgeon, the king seized the Persians as sp...ies, and, to prevent theirescape, took away the rudders of their ships. Their treacherous leadertook the opportunity to make his way to Crotona, and here the Persians, who had been released and given back their ships, found him on theirarrival. They seized him in the market-place, but he was rescued fromthem by his fellow-citizens in spite of the remonstrances and threats ofthe envoys. The Crotonians even took from them the store-ship, andforced them to leave the harbor in their triremes.
On their way home the unlucky envoys suffered a second misfortune; theywere shipwrecked and made slaves, --as was the cruel way of dealing withunfortunates in those days.
