Years: 513BCE - 502BCE
The tyrant Histiaeus rules Miletus at the end of the sixth century BCE.
Histiaeus, according to Herodotus, renders great service to Darius during the king's Scythian campaign of about 513 by persuading the tyrants of other cities not to destroy the Danubian bridge over which the Persians are to return.
Histiaeus receives Thracian territory as a reward.
Darius, however, becomes distrustful of Histiaeus and recalls him to Susa, where he holds him a virtual prisoner.
Histiaeus' son-in-law Aristagoras replaces him as ruler of Miletus.
