AMYNTAS I., king of Macedonia (c. 540-498 B.C.), was a tributary vassal of Darius Hystaspes. With him the history of Macedonia may be said to begin. He was the first of its rulers to have relations with other countries; he entered into an alliance with the Peisistratidae, and when Hippias was driven out of Athens he offered him the territory of Anthemus on the Therma'ic Gulf, with the object of turning the Greek party feuds to his own advantage (Herodotus v. 17, 94; Justin vii. 2; Thucydides ii. 100; Pausanias ix. 40).

Amyntas I«/b», king of «u»Macedon «/u» («u»Greek «/u» «i» A«/i»; c. 540 \endash 498 BC), was a «u»tributary «/u» «u»vassal «/u» of «u»Darius Hystaspes «/u» of «u»Persia «/u». With him the history of Macedon may be said to begin.

Hippias refused it and Iolcos as well, the Thessalian offer, as Amyntas probably did not possess Anthemous at that time, but was merely suggesting a plan of joint occupation to Hippias«u»[1]«/u».
