Delist. The article is a paraphrase of Herodotus.

Heavy reliance on single primary source. The initial History section lacks any citation. Can't see it still meets modern GA standard .

Aside from the sourcing questions – both the overreliance on direct citations to Herodotus, and some uncited claims which really need referencing – the lead is surely far too short to meet criterion 1b. By far the main editor,
MinisterForBadTimes, hasn't edited wikipedia in nearly a decade, so unless someone else picks this up for rescuing I suspect it'll need delisting.

Delist Large chunks of unsourced content and a commendable effort to be entirely made up of one primary source.
