king See also:Darius Hystaspis. According to See also:Herodotus he rendered See also:great service to Darius while he was campaigning in See also:Scythia by persuading his See also:fellow-despots not to destroy the See also:bridge over the See also:Danube by which the Persians must return. Choosing his own See also:reward for this service, he became possessor of territory near Myrcinus (afterwards See also:Amphipolis), See also:rich in See also:timber and minerals. The success of his enterprise led to his being invited to See also:Susa, where in the midst of every See also:kind of See also:honour he was virtually a prisoner of Darius, who had See also:reason to dread his growing See also:power in See also:Ionia. During this See also:period the See also:Greek cities were See also:left under native despots supported by See also:Persia, See also:Aristagoras; son-in-See also:law of Histiaeus, being ruler of Miletus in his See also:stead. This See also:prince, having failed. against See also:Naxos in a See also:joint expedition with the See also:- SATRAP [Pers. Khshatrapavan, i.e." protector (superintendent) of the country (or district)," Heb. sakhshadrapan, Gr. taerpan-ris (insc. of Miletus, Sitzungsber. Berl. Ak. 1900, 112), E% u3pa7eixav (insc. of Mylasa, Dittenberger, Sylloge, 95), ital. p6. rr
satrap See also:Artaphernes, began to stir up the See also:Ionians to revolt, and this result was brought to pass, according to Herodotus, by a See also:secret See also:message from Histiaeus. The revolt assumed a formidable See also:character and Histiaeus persuaded Darius that he alone could quell it. He was allowed to leave Susa, but on his arrival at the See also:coast found himself suspected by the satrap, and was ultimately driven to establish himself (Herodotus says as a pirate; more probably in See also:charge of the See also:Bosporus route) at See also:Byzantium. After the See also:total failure of the revolt at the See also:battle of Lade, he made various attempts to re-establish himself, but was captured by the Persian Harpagus and crucified by Artaphernes at See also:Sardis. His See also:head was embalmed and sent to Darius, who gave it honour-able See also:burial. The theory of Herodotus that the Ionian revolt was caused by the single message of Histiaeus is incredible; there is See also:evidence to show that the Ionians had been meditating since about 512 a patriotic revolt against the Persian domination and the " tyrants" on whom it rested (see See also:Grote, Hist. of See also:Greece, ed. 1907, especially p. 122 See also:note; See also:art. IONIA, and authorities; also S. Heinlein in Klio, 1909, pp. 341-351).
