| | The best evidence that the city had not lost all means of resistance, despite the dramatic blow it sustained, is provided by the fact that the Eretrians courageously participated, both on land and at sea, in the struggle against the invasion of King Xerxes in 480-479 (Second Persian War). | | | In addition, the deportation carried out by the victors probably affected only a small part of the population, since many Eretrians were able to find refuge in the mountainous parts of the territory, which remained inaccessible to the invaders. | | | It is nonetheless certain that several hundred Eretrians, including women and children, were taken far away from Greece and finally settled north of Susa (Iran), the capital of the Achaemenid empire, at a place called Arderrika; their presence there is attested until the beginning of the 4th century and even later. |
