Years: 513BCE - 502BCE
The tyrant Miltiades the Younger marries Hegesipyle, the daughter of a Thracian prince.
Soon after, however, his authority is severely limited when Darius of Persia expands his power into Europe and reduces Miltiades to the rank of a Persian vassal.
He leads a contingent in the Scythian expedition of Darius in about 513, and, according to Herodotus, advises the destruction of the Danube bridge, which would have cut off Darius' retreat. (Since the Persians did not at once expel Miltiades, the story is doubtful.)
