Scyles
Scyles, Skyles, or Scylas (Scythian: Skula; Ancient Greek: Σκυλης, romanized: Skulēs; Latin: Scyles), was a Scythian king who lived in the 5th century BC. He is mentioned in the histories of Herodotus as having been an admirer of Greek culture and traditions, which led to his falling out of favor with his people and being executed by his brother.
