In Book 5, it is reported that Darius sent heralds demanding earth and water from king Amyntas I of Macedon . In the 6th book, Darius sent heralds throughout Hellas bidding them demand earth and water for the king. more from Herodotus Histories to come need to avoid lists per mos In Book 7, he recounts that when the Achaemenid Empire Persians sent envoys to the Spartans demanding the traditional symbol of surrender, an offering of soil and water, the Spartans threw them into a deep well, suggesting that upon their arrival at the bottom, they could Dig it out for yourselves. ref Herodotus Histories Herodotus The Histories , Book Seven, section 133. ref Interpretation The demand for earth and water symbolized that those surrendering to Persians gave up all their rights over their land and every product of the land.
