The Vengeance of Apollo and the Fall of Xerxes
The tale recounts Darius seeking vengeance against Athens after Serdes is captured and the Cybele temple burned. Xerxes leads a mighty, doomed campaign against Greece, including the assault on Delphi and the temple of Apollo, ending with a catastrophic storm and spoils left as offerings. The piece shifts to a descriptive note on Aden’s fort, tanks, climate, and role as a Suez route coaling station with water supply by camel drawn systems.
