Datis was a Persian general who served the Achaemenid Empire under Darius I of Persia. In 490 BCE, Datis was one of the commanders responsible for the siege of Naxos Island and the sacking of Eretria in Euboea, along with the Immortals, elite troops of the empire.
On his way back from the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, Datis stopped at the Silver Islands. Unfortunately for him, he never apparently left: during the Peloponnesian War, the misthios Kassandra found a shipwreck bearing his name just off the coast of Delos.[1]
