“Advice to find my sister,” answered Argo. “I need to find my sister.”
“What happened to her?” asked Kyla.
“It’s a long story, but right now she’s being held as a slave in the city of Patra.”
“A slave?” asked Kyla.
“Why don’t you go there and save her?” asked Zammie.
“It’s not that easy, Zammie. My family lives on a farm near Athens, and we are being split up because of the armies invading from Persia.”
“Split up?” asked Zammie.
“Yes, my father is going off to war with part of the sailing fleet, and my mother and I are being moved to the city of Troezen.”
“Why?” asked Kyla.
“Evacuation,” said Zammie. “The Athenian women and children were evacuated from Athens to Troezen to be protected from the Persian army while the men went to war. That means this must be about 480 B.C.”
“Wow,” whispered Kyla.
“I’m not sure what ‘B.C.’ means, but it sounds like you know a few things about Athens,” said Argo.

Xerxes' Persian Empire invades Greece. This was in part due to Hippias using the threat of Persian attack to gain back control of Athens. Athens denied him, and an invasion ensued.
