Pixodarus in Greek language Greek o ruled 340 335 BC was a prince or king of Caria . Biography He was the youngest of the three sons of Hecatomnus , all of whom successively held the sovereignty of their native country. Pixodarus obtained possession of the throne by the expulsion of his sister Ada of Caria Ada , the widow and successor of her brother Idrieus , and held it without opposition for a period of five years, 340 335 BC. He cultivated the friendship of Achaemenid Empire Persia , gave his daughter in marriage to a Persian people Persian named Orontobates , whom he even seems to have admitted to some share in the sovereign power during his own lifetime. But he did not neglect to court the alliance of other powers also, and endeavoured to secure the powerful friendship of Philip II of Macedon Philip II , king of Macedon ia, by offering the hand of his eldest daughter in marriage to Philip III of Macedon Arrhidaeus , the illegitimate son of the Macedonian monarch. The discontent of the young Alexander the Great Alexander at this period led him to offer himself as a suitor for the Carian princess instead of his natural brother an overture which was eagerly embraced by Pixodarus, but the indignant interference of Philip put an end to the whole scheme. Pixodarus died apparently a natural death some time before the landing of Alexander in Asia, 334 BC and was succeeded by his son in law Orontobates. r diod 16.74 arr 1.23 strab 14 plut 10 References William Smith lexicographer Smith, William editor Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology , http www.ancientlibrary.com smith bio 2713.html Pixodarus 2 , Boston , 1867 Notes reflist refs ref name diod 16.74 arr 1.23 strab 14 plut 10 Diodorus Siculus , Bibliotheca , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Diod. 16.74.1 xvi. 74 Arrian , Anabasis Alexandri , http websfor.org alexander arrian book1b.asp ...
