	Pausanias Attica
		When you have rounded the promontory you see a harbor and a temple to Athena of Sunium on the peak of the promontory.
		It is the work of Pheidias, but the reliefs upon the shield, including the fight between Centaurs and Lapithae, are said to be from the chisel of Mys1, for whom they say Parrhasius the son of Evenor, designed this and the rest of his works.
		The point of the spear of this Athena and the crest of her helmet are visible to those sailing to Athens, as soon as Sunium is passed.

		Thebes and Argos, Corinth and Sparta, which had formerly waged such memorable wars against each other, were now unable to bring an army into the field, or even to defend their ruined fortifications.
		The rage of war, both by land and by sea, spread from the eastern point of Sunium to the western coast of Epirus.
		The Goths had already advanced within sight of Italy, when the approach of such imminent danger awakened the indolent Gallienus from his dream of pleasure.

		There was a slander prevalent in Athens that they got this idea from a contrivance of the Alcmaeonidae, in accord with a covenant they had made with the Persians, showed a signal, the holding-up of a shield, for those barbarians who were on shipboard.
		They rounded Sunium, all right; but the Athenians, rushing with all speed to defend their city, reached it first, before the barbarians came, and encamped, moving from one sanctuary of Heracles – the one at Marathon – to another, the one at Cynosarges.
		The barbarians anchored off Phalerum – for in those days that was the harbor of Athens – and, after riding at anchor there for a while, they sailed back, off to Asia.

	SparkNotes: Complete Text of Crito: INTRODUCTION
		The Crito seems intended to exhibit the character of Socrates in one light only, not as the philosopher, fulfilling a divine mission and trusting in the will of heaven, but simply as the good citizen, who having been unjustly condemned is willing to give up his life in obedience to the laws of the state...
		The days of Socrates are drawing to a close; the fatal ship has been seen off Sunium, as he is informed by his aged friend and contemporary Crito, who visits him before the dawn has broken; he himself has been warned in a dream that on the third day he must depart.
		Time is precious, and Crito has come early in order to gain his consent to a plan of escape.

	Theaetetus biography
		This allows us to give a fairly accurate date for Theaetetus's birth (although some have claimed that the Greek word could describe a man of up to 21 years old).
		Again from Plato we learn that Theaetetus's father, Euphronius of Sunium, was a wealthy man and left a large fortune.
		However, the money was squandered by the trustees of the will but despite this Theaetetus was generous to all around him.

		These likewise fled, and now the Athenians hung upon the runaways and cut them down, chasing them all the way to the shore, on reaching which they laid hold of the ships and called aloud for fire.
		Nevertheless the Athenians secured in this way seven of the vessels; while with the remainder the barbarians pushed off, and taking aboard their Eretrian prisoners from the island where they had left them, doubled Cape Sunium, hoping to reach Athens before the return of the Athenians.
		The Alcmaeonidae were accused by their countrymen of suggesting this course to them; they had, it was said, an understanding with the Persians, and made a signal to them, by raising a shield, after they were embarked in their ships.

		Repair work was also done on the temples of Athena at Sunium and of Artemis at Brauron, and additions were made to these.
		The grandiose buildings on the Acropolis itself, and the four great temples - to Hephaestus at Colonos-in-the-Agora, to Poseidon at Sunium, to Nemesis at Rhamnus, to Ares at Acharnae - were important
		This was when the south wall of the Acropolis was completed, the temple of Artemis Agrotera was put up on the left bank of the Ilissos, and there were building works to the Lyceum (this has recently been excavated north of Syntagma Square - the gymnasium where Aristotle was to teach a hundred years later.

	Heroes - CHAPTER IV
		And some say that Dionusos drove away Theseus, and took Ariadne from him by force: but however that may be, in his haste or in his grief, Theseus forgot to put up the white sail.
		Now AEgeus his father sat and watched on Sunium day after day, and strained his old eyes across the sea to see the ship afar.
		And when he saw the fl sail, and not the white one, he gave up Theseus for dead, and in his grief he fell into the sea, and died; so it is called the AEgean to this day.

		Roddy, a student, and myself made up the other sides of the triangle.
		Taking a Greek steamer at the Piraeus for Volo on the evening of the sixth of May, we wisely sought our berths before reaching Sunium, where Poseidon loves to rock the ocean cradle.
		The steamer for Volo avoids the uncertain temper of the AEgean and touches at the principal ports of Eubcea, which are on the west coast of the island, by sailing through the strait which separates it from Attica and Boeotia.

	CRITO by Plato, Part 01
		I suppose that the ship has come from Delos, on the arrival of which I am to die?
		No, the ship has not actually arrived, but she will probably be here to-day, as persons who have come from Sunium tell me that they have left her there; and therefore to-morrow, Socrates, will be the last day of your life.
		Very well, Crito; if such is the will of God, I am willing; but my belief is that there will be a delay of a day.
