Politics and world events
Persian Wars
The Persian general Mardonios , married to Artazostre , daughter of Great King Darius I , leads the first Persian campaign against Thrace and Macedonia . He is sent out with a fleet and a land army to subjugate the Greeks to the Achaemenid Empire . After he had restored the democratic constitutions in the Ionian cities in order to win the Greeks through friendly means and friendship, he moved to Macedonia via the Hellespont . The recapture of Thrace and Macedonia succeeds, as does the subjugation of the island of Thasos , but then his fleet gets caught in a storm and fails on Mount Athos , while the land army suffers great losses due to the Bryger , whereupon Mardonios returns to Asia.
Greek colonies in Sicily
After an unsuccessful campaign against Syracuse, Hippocrates , tyrant of Gela , obtained the city of Kamarina in negotiations with the mediation of Corinth and began to rebuild the city destroyed by Syracuse.
Roman Republic
According to legend, Titus Geganius Macerinus and Publius Minucius Augurinus were consuls of the early Roman Republic . Gnaeus Marcius Coriolanus, who is very popular because of his victories against the Volscians , also ran for the election of the consul, but he was not elected because of his open rejection of the plebeian office of tribune . The office of tribune of the people is carried out by Spurius Sicinius.
According to tradition, there is a great famine in Rome during the year.
Science and culture
China
The philosopher and former statesman Confucius visits the states of Wei and Jin on his multi-year wandering through the empires during the spring and autumn annals in China .
Greece
Probably around 492 BC The Greek philosopher Heraclitus completed his unnamed work, which later became known under the name Über die Natur ( Περὶ φύσεως ). The work is lost as a whole, but the picture that ancient doxographic sources convey of it largely coincides with the level of knowledge obtained from the fragments obtained. Hence, it is believed that only about half of the original text is lost. Works by in some cases significantly later authors such as Plato , Aristotle , Diogenes Laertios , Clemens of Alexandria and Hippolytus of Rome usually contain analogous, rarely literal quotations from the original Heraclitus.
