Aristagoras

When Histaeus explained this, all of them at once inclined to his view, although they had at first sided with Miltiades.

Those high in Darius's favor who gave their vote were Daphnis of Abydos, Hippocles of Lampsacus, Hierophantus of Perium, Metrodorus of Proconnesius, Aristagoras of Cyzicus, Ariston of Byzantium, all from the Hellespont and sovereign of cities there, and from Ionia, Stratus of Chios, Echias of Samos, Laudamas of Phocaea, and Histaeus of Miletus who opposed the plan of Miltiades.

As for the Aeolians, their only notable man present was Aristagoras of Syme.

When these accepted Histaeus's view, they decided to act upon it in the following way, to break as much of the bridge on the Scythian side as a bowshot from there carried, so that they seemed to be doing something when in fact they were doing nothing, and that the Scythians not try to force their way across the bridge over the Ister, to say while they were breaking the portion of the bridge on the Scythian side that they would do all the Scythians desired.

This was the plan they adopted, and then Histaeus answered for them all and said, You have come with good advice, Scythians, and your urgency is timely.

It was in this way that the Parians made peace in Miletus, but now these cities began to bring trouble upon Ionia.

Certain men of substance, who had been banished by the common people, went in exile to Miletus.

Now it chanced that the deputy ruling Miletus was Aristagoras, son of Molpagoras, son-in-law and cousin of that Histius, son of Lysagoras, whom Darius kept with him at Susa.
