Artanes (son Of Hystaspes)
Artanes ( grc, Ἀρτάνης) was a prince of ancient Persia, the son of the satrap Hystaspes, and brother of Darius the Great. He gave his only daughter, named Phratagune, in marriage to his brother Darius, as well as his entire estate as a dowry. This was done largely because Artanes had no male heirs, so this move would keep Artanes's property in the family. He was afterwards one of the distinguished Persians who fought and fell in the Battle of Thermopylae.Herodotus, ''Histories Histories or, in Latin, Historiae may refer to: * the plural of history * ''Histories'' (Herodotus), by Herodotus * ''The Histories'', by Timaeus * ''The Histories'' (Polybius), by Polybius * ''Histories'' by Gaius Sallustius Crispus (Sallust), ...'' 7.224 References {{DEFAULTSORT:Artachaees Persian people of the Greco-Persian Wars Family of Darius the Great 5th-century BC Iranian people Achaemenid dynasty ...

Darius The Great
Darius I ( peo, 𐎭𐎠𐎼𐎹𐎺𐎢𐏁 ; grc-gre, Δαρεῖος ; – 486 BCE), commonly known as Darius the Great, was a Persian ruler who served as the third King of Kings of the Achaemenid Empire, reigning from 522 BCE until his death in 486 BCE. He ruled the empire at its territorial peak, when it included much of Western Asia, parts of the Balkans (Thrace– Macedonia and Paeonia) and the Caucasus, most of the Black Sea's coastal regions, Central Asia, the Indus Valley in the far east, and portions of North Africa and Northeast Africa including Egypt (), eastern Libya, and coastal Sudan. Darius ascended the throne by overthrowing the legitimate Achaemenid monarch Bardiya, whom he later fabricated to be an imposter named Gaumata. The new king met with rebellions throughout his kingdom and quelled them each time; a major event in Darius' life was his expedition to subjugate Greece and punish Athens and Eretria for their participation in the Ionian Revolt.
