Week-9

In one of the battles that Persia waged against Croesus a Lydian king, Herodotus narrates a curious incident. At the sacking of Sardis a Persian soldier saw the distraught king defenseless and vulnerable. So badly had the tide turned and the king did not care if he died or not. Even when the enemy soldier threatened to kill him he sat where he was. But his dumb son seeing the danger screamed. As if by a miracle the young man got his power of speech at that moment.
