To a question about the probability of submission of the Bosporus Persians
In discussions about the subordination of the Bosporus to Persians, new studies have appeared. V.P. Iaylenko repeated his version of the Ariaramnes' campaign and subordination of the Bosporus to the Persians under Darius I with small additions. J. Nileling suggested that in the Chapter III, 97 Herodotus might have had in his mind the possibility of submission of the Bosporus to the Persians until the time of writing his work. Both points of view were supported by G.R. Tsetskhladze. In our opinion, all the arguments do not match the context of the chapter of Herodotus.
