Excerpt from Herodotus, Vol. 2 of 4
He proceeded yet farther, till he came to a sea, which on account of the number of shoals was not navigable. On his return to ?gypt, as I learned from the same authority, he levied a mighty army, and made a martial progress by land, subduing all the nations whom he met with on his march. Whenever he was opposed by a people who proved themselves brave, and who discovered an ardour for liberty, he erected columns in their country, upon which he inscribed his own name, and that of his nation, and how he had here conquered by the force of his arms; but where he met with little or no opposition, upon similar columns, 8 which he erected, he added the private parts of a woman, expressive of the pusillanimity of the people.
