On the first day of fighting at ARTEMISIUM (480 BCE), Antidorus of LEMNOS deserted to the Greek side, alone of the Greeks fighting for PERSIA; Herodotus reports that the Athenians awarded him land on the ISLAND of SALAMIS as thanks (8.11.3). Presumably this means Antidorus became an Athenian citizen as well (Figueira 1991, 254), though he may already have had some status at ATHENS given their previous possession of Lemnos after Miltiades’ CONQUEST of it (6.136–40). When the IONIAN REVOLT failed, the island reverted to Persian control. Antidorus fought on the Greek side again at the Battle of Salamis (8.82.2).
