Histories

Stesagoras met his end in this way. The sons of Pisistratus sent Miltiades, son of Cimon and brother of the dead Stesagoras, in a trireme to the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese to take control of the country; they had already treated him well at Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, feigning that they had not been accessory to the death of Cimon his father, which I will relate in another place.

Reaching the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese, Miltiades kept himself within his house, professing thus to honor the memory of his brother Stesagoras. When the people of the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese learned this, their ruling men gathered together from all the cities on every side, and came together in a group to show fellow-feeling with his mourning; but he put them in bonds. So Miltiades made himself master of the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese; there he maintained a guard of five hundred men, and married Hegesipyle the daughter of Olorus, king of Thrace (region (general)), EuropeThrace.
