jan 1, 480 BC - Hydna and Scyllias escape from Persia

Description:

Hydna and Scyllias were expert swimmers from the region of Scione. They were hired by Persia to recover treasure from sunken ships. Shortly after living with Persians, they became prisoners on the Persian navy boats so they wouldn't tell Greece all of Persia's battle plans and secrets. During a storm, Hydna and her father, Scyllias escaped from prison on the boat, cut the Persian boat anchors and swam all the way to Athens so they could share Persia's battle tactics and plans.
