This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

One other question.  Pindaros says that when Themistocles wins the
vase then gives it to the Amazon queen, "peace is forged between
Theseus's city and Theseus's foes."

Which of Athens's foes is he refering to here?  And how does
Themistocles's victory and/or gift to the Amazons accomplish it?  Does
Pindaros mean peace between the Athenians and the Amazons?
