 Scythia is a land of troubles for Darius as he runs into plenty of trouble. The barbaric nomadism of the Scythians proves to be quite an obstacle for the armies of Darius. Since he unable to engage his men in a head-on battle, Darius ends up running around Scythia in circles with the Scythians always one step ahead of him. This wears down the army of Darius and frustrates Darius. Also, the Scythians have a superior plan to Darius who seems to have no plan or a very flawed one at that. This lack of good planning was seen in his predecessors to the discredit of Darius who failed to learn from their mistakes. Eventually Darius learns that the Scythians are insurmountable and that he must retreat lest he be destroyed. This is the reason why Darius survives the expedition, for he neither rushes head-on like Cyrus did no does he keep pushing forward like Cambyses to the point of cannibalism. He knows when his time is up to his credit.
