Why did the Scythians kill their king Skil?

| February 22, 2021 | education

Skill was born a Greek. And he was brought up by his mother in love for ancient culture. Having become king, Skil often came to Olbia. He left the guard at the gate, changed into Greek clothes and lived for a long time in Olbia, like a Greek. This is confirmed by archaeological excavations. In one of the central regions of Olbia, the house in which Skil lived was investigated.
His dream was to take part in the celebration in honor of the god Dionysus. During the days of the celebration, the Scythians climbed the walls of Olbia and saw their king surrounded by hetaira with a kilik of wine.
In conclusion, the Scythians killed their king for their disrespectful attitude to the Scythian traditions, disrespect for the Scythian gods, and admiration for the Greeks.
