When last we left off, the Greeks had won a mighty sea battle (off-screen), the Persians were retreating, and the Greeks were chasing them. But, having failed to catch up, the Greeks were setting up YET ANOTHER COUNCIL--this time at Andros--to discuss what to do next. Themistocles wants everyone to sail after the Persian fleet, and hit the Hellespont to break up the bridges that Xerxes built there. Eurybiades thinks that Xerxes and his troops ought to be allowed to flee back across the bridges, so that fighting occurs on Persian territory, not Greek territory.

We pick up with Themistocles responding to this. As usual.

( Greeks never get tired of holding councils. Never. )
