The 480 BCE sea actions off Artemisium, fought in the same days as Thermopylae (FH II p.108: 'Actions at Thermopylae and Artemisium, at the [time of the Olympic games]'). The spine's 447 block quotes a man who 'commanded a trireme at Artemisium' — a retrospective biographical mention, not a second engagement.
