ARISTAGORAS (d. 497 B.c.)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 494 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARISTAGORAS (d. 497 B.c.) , brother-in-law and
cousin
  of Histiaeus,
tyrant
  of Miletus. While Histiaeus was practically a prisoner at the court of Darius, he acted as regent in Miletus.
In 500 B.C. he persuaded the Persians to join him in an attack upon Naxos, but he quarrelled with Megabates, the Persian
commander
 , who warned the inhabitants of the
island
 , and the expedition failed. Finding himself the object of Persian suspicion, Aristagoras, instigated by a
message
  from Histiaeus, raised the standard of revolt in Miletus, though it seems likely that this step had been under consideration for some time (see
IONIA
 ). After the complete failure of the Ionian revolt he emigrated to Myrcinus in Thrace. Here he fell in battle (497), while attacking Ennea Hodoi (afterwards Amphipolis) on the Strymon, which belonged to the Edonians, a Thracian tribe. The aid given to him by Athens and Eretria, and the burning of Sardis, were the immediate cause of the invasion of
Greece
  by Darius.
See Herodotus v. 30-51, 97-126;
Thucydides
  iv. 1o2; Diodorus xii. 68; for a more favourable view see G. B. Grundy,
Great
  Persian War (London, 1901).
