Greece

* Alexander I succeeds his father Amyntas I as king of Macedonia.
* Athens and Eretria respond to the Ionian plea for help against Persia and send troops. An Athenian and Eretrian fleet transports Athenian troops to Ephesus. There they are joined by a force of Ionians and march upon Sardis, the capital of Artaphernes (the satrap of Lydia and brother to Darius I of Persia). Artaphernes, who has sent most of his troops to besiege Miletus, is taken by surprise. However, Artaphernes is able to retreat to the citadel and hold it. Although the Greeks are unable to take the citadel, they pillage the town and set fires that burn Sardis to the ground.
* Retreating to the coast, the Greek forces are met by the Persians under Artaphernes and defeated.
* Kaunos and Caria, followed by Byzantium and towns in the Hellespont also revolt against the Persians. Cyprus also joins the rebellion, as Onesilus removes his pro-Persian brother, Gorgos, from the throne of Salamis.

Sicily

* After the assassination of Cleander, tyrant of Gela, power is transferred to his brother, Hippocrates, who subdues the Sicels and conquers the Chalcidian cities of Callipoli, Leontini, Naxos and Zancle (now known as Messina). He also captures the Syracusan city of Camarina, but is prevented from capturing Syracuse itself when Corinth and Corcyra interferes in the war.

Literature

* The earliest surviving of the Greek poets Pindar's epinikion (Pythian ode 10) is written.


Deaths

* Amyntas I, king of Macedonia (b. c. 540 BC)
* Cleander, tyrant of Gela

My arse! The only time we get into that armoured egg-chasing thingy is the Super Bowl. We just watch to see if the stadium flips over if all the fat spectators sit on the same side...

Which is what Budweiser is. Really low quality cider.

On one hand, the Challenger 2 has Dorchester armour (Chobham v2) and ERA blocks, but on the other hand, it's a lot of RPG's.

Since I've failed to track down corroborating facts, the story could be apocryphal.

I'm just curious which will anger our lime-enriched colleagues from across the pond more when we meet (and beat) the English 'football' squad (Americans read: soccer) in June. Will it anger you more that we won or that we still really just don't care?

Well, if they were anti-personnel RPG-7s, they'd scarcely scratch the paint.
