Chronology

Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation

  • January 491 BC: The army then marched through Thrace, re-subjugating it, since these lands had already been added to the Persian Empire in 512 BC.
  • January 491 BC: The Persian fleet crossed to Thasos, resulting in the Thasians submitting to the Persians.
  • January 491 BC: Whilst the Persian army was camped in Macedon, the Brygians, a local Thracian tribe, launched a night raid against the Persian camp, killing many of the Persians, and wounding Mardonius. Despite his injury, Mardonius made sure that the Brygians were defeated and subjugated, before leading his army back to the Hellespont.
