Adler number: epsilon,3053
Translated headword: Hermonian favour
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the [sort] given under duress, not out of the goodness of one's heart, but artificially and in a pretence of friendship, not in truth. For when Dareios was invading Thrace and trashing everything,[1]
Hermon the king of the Pelasgoi handed over
Lemnos[2] to the Athenians -- seeming to do them a favour but in fact because he was afraid of Dareios.
