		36, 37) he led a colony to the Thracian Chersonese at the request of the Doloncians, who, hard pressed by the Absinthians (or Apsinthians), were advised by the Delphian oracle to invite to their country the man who should first show them hospitality after leaving the temple.

		But the Golden Chersonese is still somewhat of a terra incognita; there is no point on its mainland at which European steamers call, and the usual conception of it is as a vast and malarious equatorial jungle, sparsely peopled by a race of semi-civilized and treacherous Mohammedans.

		(He wished revenge on the city, for the Chersonese army had humiliated his soldiers in battle.) Hearing that Lamachus the president of Chersonese had a fair daughter named Gycia, the king proposed that his eldest son should marry her and so put an end to the hostility between the two kingdoms.

		Now after some time had passed and Stratophilus son of Philomusus was chief ruler of Chersonese, Gycia in her great wisdom wished to make trial of the Chersonites, whether they would remember their oath and bury her in the midst of the city.

		En route for Chersonese he tried to annex the island of Lemnos for Athens, but the islanders just laughed at him and said they would voluntarily surrender if he ever sailed to Lemnos from home with a wind blowing from the north -- totally the wrong direction if he was coming from Athens(see footnote).
		Miltiades was able to claim the Chersonese was now his home, and thus fill his end of his bargain by sailing to Lemnos from home with the north wind.
