In Classical Antiquity, Scythia (Greek Σκυθία Skuthia, in English pronounced /ˈsɪθɪə/ or /ˈsɪðɪə/) was the area in Eurasia inhabited by the Scythians, from the 8th century BC to the 2nd century AD. Its location and extent varied over time but usually extended farther to the west than is indicated on the map opposite. The area known to classical authors as Scythia included:
The Sakas (Indo-Scythians) expanded to Sistan (which was also known as Sakestan) and the Indus valley from the 1st century BC."
In the 7th century BC Scythians penetrated from the territories north of the Black Sea across the Caucasus. The early Scythian kingdoms were dominated by inter-ethnic forms of dependency based on subjugation of agricultural populations in eastern South Caucasia, plunder and taxes (occasionally, as far as Syria), regular tribute (Media), tribute disguised as gifts (Egypt), and possibly also payments for military support (Assyria).[citation needed]
It is likely that the same dynasty ruled in Scythia during most of its history. The name of Koloksai, a legendary founder of a royal dynasty, is mentioned by Alcman in the 7th century BC. Prototi and Madis, Scythian kings in the Near Eastern period of their history, and their successors in the north Pontic steppes belonged to the same dynasty. Herodotus lists five generations of a royal clan that probably reigned at the end of the 7th to 6th centuries BC: prince Anacharsis, Saulius, Idanthyrsus, Gnurus, Lycus, and Spargapithes.

Genres: Horror,Charging soldiers race on foot
With pounding hearts
Through blazing heat
An ordeal fraught with hopeless odds
They press on towards the keep
Tactics of an ancient king
Seen as ruin from a blinded eye
Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The flames never die
Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The fear in their eyes
Arrows soaring overhead
Burning oil drinks the dead
Few in number heroes charge through
The gate and the courtyard
Mayhem reigning on this field
Yells, screams and the clash of steel
Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The flames never die
Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The fear in their eyes
Up the ramparts they press ahead
Valor fills their noble hearts
In this hour of reckoning
Beyond thick walls of stone
An inner cloister rests
Where the high priest is waiting
With spite in his chest
No is the time
When two forces collide
Freedom versus dominance
At the fortress of lies
