Athens and Sparta flung the heralds in the Deep pitts bidding them to take Earth and water from there and carry it to the great king. when Xerxes² ascended the throne of Persia he was determined to avenge this act of defiance. Athens and Sparta where doomed in his minds to be swept from the face of Earth.
