I know what you mean about the names, whew, i'm still trying to remember who's who as i'm reading it. The athenian's were possitivlely mental, let someone rule as 'tyrant' or 'archon' banish him for a few years, (eventhough he did a really good job), then let him come back if they need him.
I've just read the part about the battle of marathon and Xerxes has assended to the Persian throne, eager to take the largest army of the known world to Greece. Things are hotting up to say the least.
