==Scythian campaign (513 BC)== Megabazus led the army of Persian King Darius I in 513 BC during his European Scythian campaign. After this campaign was discontinued without result, Megabazus remained commander-in-chief of an 80,000-man army in Europe with the mission of subjugating the Greek cities on the Hellespont. The Persian troops first subdued gold-rich Thrace after capturing Perinthos and the coastal Greek cities, then defeated the powerful Paeonians, many of whom he deported to Phrygia.
