Years: 479BCE - 479BCE
A people of uncertain origin called the Bottiaeans have since about 650 BCE inhabited Olynthus in Bottike, a western region of the Chalcidice Peninsula of northwestern Greece, lying about one and a half miles (two and a half kilometers) inland from the Gulf of Torone of the Adriatic Sea.
The Persian general Artabazos, on his return from escorting Xerxes to the Hellespont, suspecting that a revolt from the Great King is meditated, hands the town over to Kritovoulos from Toroni and to a fresh population consisting of Greeks from the neighboring region of Chalcidice (Herod. viii. 127).
Though Herodotus reports that Artabazus slaughtered them, Bottiaeans continue to live in the area.
