Ancient Persia Mycale, on the shores of Anatolia, near the island of Samos was the site of one of the last battles of the 'Second Persian War'.

The First and Second Wars of Succession -- Combat and Tactics It is unlikely that Mycale had a personal hand in any of the stratagems used during the war.)
