Now the Lemnians stood on their defence, and fought gallantly; but
they were brought low in course of time. Such as outlived the struggle
were placed by the Persians under the government of Lycaretus, the
brother of that Maeandrius who was tyrant of Samos. (This
Lycaretus died afterwards in his government.) The cause which
Otanes alleged for conquering and enslaving all these nations was that
some had refused to join the king's army against Scythia, while
others had molested the host on its return. Such were the exploits
which Otanes performed in his command.
