...and Themistocles used some of his bribe to pay off Eurybiades (at least according to Herodotus, who is biased against Themistocles).
Actually, Herodotus is biased in favor of Themistocles (cf. The Herodotean Picture of Themistocles: A Mirror of Fifth-century Athens, by Wolfgang Blösel). Also, taking bribes back then was not uncommon for Athenian Generals and is a well known part of Themistocles' character. All history is biased anyways. I propose to cut out what is in the parenthesis.
