In this way, the Persians say (and not as the Greeks ), was how Io came to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt , and this, according to them, was the first wrong that was done. Next, according to their story, some Greeks (they cannot say who) landed at Tyre [35.183,33.266] (inhabited place), Al-Janub, Lebanon, Asia Tyre in Phoenicia (region (general)), Asia Phoenicia and carried off the king's daughter Europa . These Greeks must, I suppose, have been Cretans . So far, then, the account between them was balanced. But after this (they say), it was the Greeks who were guilty of the second wrong. They sailed in a long ship to Aea , a city of the Colchians , and to the river Poti [41.683,42.183] (inhabited place), regions under republican jurisdiction, Georgia, Asia Phasis : This is the legendary cruise of the Argonauts. and when they had done the business for which they came, they carried off the king's daughter Medea . When the Colchian king sent a herald to demand reparation for the robbery and restitution of his daughter, the Greeks replied that, as they had been refused reparation for the abduction of the Argive Io , they would not make any to the Colchians . Then (they say), in the second generation after this, Alexandrus , son of Priam , who had heard this tale, decided to get himself a wife from Greece [22,39] (nation), Europe Hellas by capture; for he was confident that he would not suffer punishment. So he carried off Helen . The Greeks first resolved to send messengers demanding that Helen be restored and atonement made for the seizure; but when this proposal was made, the Trojans pleaded the seizure of Medea , and reminded the Greeks that they asked reparation from others, yet made none themselves, nor gave up the booty when asked.
