picture info	Hecataeus Of Miletus Hecataeus of Miletus (; el, Ἑκαταῖος ὁ Μιλήσιος; c. 550 BC – c. 476 BC), son of Hegesander, was an early Greek historian and geographer. Biography Hailing from a very wealthy family, he lived in Miletus, then under Persian rule in the satrapy of Lydia. He was active during the time of the Greco-Persian Wars. After having travelled extensively, he settled in his native city, where he occupied a high position, and devoted his time to the composition of geographical and historical works. When Aristagoras, acting tyrant of Miletus, held a council of leading Ionians at Miletus to organize a revolt against Persian rule, Hecataeus tried in vain to dissuade his countrymen from the undertaking. In 494 BC, when the defeated Ionians were obliged to sue for terms, he was one of the ambassadors to the Persian satrap Artaphernes, whom he persuaded to restore the constitution of the Ionic cities. Hecataeus is the first known Greek historian and was one of the first c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Hecataeus Of The Sindi Hecataeus ( grc, Ἑκαταίος, Hekataios) was the king of the Ancient Circassians ( Sindians) throughout the reigns of both Satyrus I and Leucon I of the Bosporan Kingdom. He was married to Tirgatao, a powerful Maeotian princess from the tribe of the Ixomatae and to a daughter of Satyrus. He was also the father of Octamasades, who would later usurp the throne from his father, after which Leucon, seeing an opportunity to annex Sindike, waged war on Octamasades. Reign Not much is known about Hecataeus' life or much of his reign, only that he, instead of killing Tirgatao on Satyrus' advice, locked her away in a castle in which she eventually got away from. Satyrus and Leucon searched for her, but she eluded them. She would wage war on both her former husband and Satyrus, forcing them to sue for peace. Losing the throne and abdication Octamasades usurped the throne from his father, and then found himself in a war against Leucon. Leucon managed to drive Octamasades into Scyth ...

picture info	Sindi People The Sindi ( grc, Σινδοι, Sindoi; la, Sindi) were an ancient Scythian people who primarily lived in western Ciscaucasia. A portion of the Sindi also lived in Central Europe. Their name is variously written, and Pomponius Mela calls them Sindones, Lucian, Sindianoi. History Ciscaucasia The Sindi were a tribe of the Scythians who established themselves on the Taman peninsula, where they formed a ruling class over the indigenous North Caucasian Maeotians. Archaeologically, the Sindi belonged to the Scythian culture, and they progressively became Hellenised due to contact with the Bosporan Kingdom. As the Scythians lost more territory in Ciscaucasia to the Sauromatians over the course of the late 6th century BC, the Sindi remained the only Scythian group still present in the region, in the area called Sindica ( grc, Σινδικη, Sindikē) by the Greeks and which corresponded to the area west of present-day Krasnodar, in the Taman peninsula. The kingdom of Sindica existed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Floruit ''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the career ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Lysimachia (Thrace) Lysimachia ( el, Λυσιμάχεια) was an important Hellenistic Greece, Hellenistic Greek town on the north-western extremity of the Thracian Chersonese (the modern Gallipoli peninsula) in the neck where the peninsula joins the mainland in what is now the Turkish Thrace, European part of Turkey, not far from the bay of Melas (the modern Gulf of Saros). History The city was built by Lysimachus in 309 BC, when he was preparing for war with his Diadochi, rivals; for the new city, being situated on the isthmus, commanded the road from Sestos to the north and the mainland of Thrace. In order to obtain inhabitants for his new city, Lysimachus destroyed the neighbouring town of Cardia (Thrace), Cardia, the birthplace of the historian Hieronymus of Cardia, Hieronymus, and settled the inhabitants of it and other Chersonesean cities here. Lysimachus no doubt made Lysimachia the capital of his kingdom, and it must have rapidly risen to great splendour and prosperity. After his de ...

	Hecataeus Of Abdera :''See Hecataeus of Miletus for the earlier historian.'' Hecataeus of Abdera or of Teos ( el, Ἑκαταῖος ὁ Ἀβδηρίτης), was a Greek historian and Pyrrhonist philosopher who flourished in the 4th century BC. Life Diogenes Laërtius (ix.61) relates that he was a student of Pyrrho, along with Timon of Phlius and Nausiphanes of Teos, and includes him among the Pyrrhoneans. Diodorus Siculus (i.46.8) tells us that Hecataeus visited Thebes in the times of Ptolemy I Soter, and composed a history of Egypt. Diodorus supplies the comment that many additional Greeks went to and wrote about Egypt in the same period. The ''Suda'' gives him the nickname, 'critic grammarian' and says that he lived in the time of the successors to Alexander. Works No complete works of Hecataeus have survived, and our knowledge of his writing exists only in fragments located in various ancient Greek and Latin authors' works. Fourteen fragments survive, most of which concern religion. Eight fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
