The earliest recorded tsunami in history. During the Persian siege of the sea town Potidaea, Greece, the Greeknhistorian Herodotus reports how the Persian attackers who tried to exploit an unusual retreat of the water were suddenly surprised by "a great flood-tide, higher, as the people of the place say, than any one of the many that had been before". Herodotus attributes the cause of the sudden flood to the wrath of Poseidon.
