The abortive attempt of Sparta to restore Hippias need not have hindered Athenian vengeance on Aegina. The real impediment may have been lack of a fleet, or strained relations with Persia. But H. uses the supposed connexion as a means of transition from one subject to another. The date assumed is shortly before the coming of Aristagoras (ch. 97), i. e. just before 500 B. C.
