Unreferenced date February 2009 Cyaxares II was said to be a king of the Medes whose reign is described by the Greek historian Xenophon . Some theories have equated this figure with the Darius the Mede named in the Book of Daniel . However, the fact that he is not mentioned at all in the history of Herodotus , nor in the very different history of Ctesias , has caused many scholars to debate whether such a king ever actually existed. According to Xenophon s Cyropaedia , Cyaxares II followed king Astyages to the throne of the Mede Empire, and was also brother of Mandane , Cyrus the Great s mother. He describes the Persian Cyrus as cooperating with his uncle, Cyaxares , in order to conquer Babylon in 539 BC. However Cyaxares was by then an old man, and because Cyrus was in command of the campaign, the army came to regard Cyrus as king. Cyrus thus received not only the king s daughter his first cousin , but his kingdom, as dowry, and the aged Cyaxares became Cyrus viceroy in Babylon for two years until his death, when Cyrus seized that kingdom as well.

The final battle of a five year war between Alyattes II of Lydia and Cyaxares of the Medes, the battle ended abruptly due to a total solar eclipse the eclipse was perceived as an omen , indicating that the Deity god s wanted the fighting to stop. Since the exact dates of eclipses can be calculated, the Battle of the Eclipse is the earliest historical event of which the date is known with such precision. This date is based on the proleptic Julian calendar . See also Mursili s eclipse and the eclipse of Bur Sagale Causes Herodotus Histories Herodotus Histories , 1.73 74 states that there were two reasons for the war the two sides clashing interests in Anatolia , but also there was a motive of revenge. Some Scythian hunters employed by the Medes who once returned empty handed were insulted by Cyaxares. In revenge the hunters slaughtered one of his sons and served him to the Medes. The hunters then fled to Sardis , the capital of the Lydians. When Cyaxares asked for the Scythians to be returned to him, Alyattes refused to hand them over in response, the Medes invaded. Aftermath A truce was hastily arranged. As part of the terms of the agreement, Alyattes s daughter Aryenis was married to Cyaxares s son Astyages , and the river K z l rmak River Halys was declared to be the border of the two warring nations.

Gobryas old Persian Gaubaruva beef eater , Elamite Kambarma was a common name of several Persian noblemen. The English form Gobryas is derived from the Greek rendering of this name. Gobryas Cyrus the Great s general This Gobryas is mentioned in the Cyropedia of Xenophon as a general who helped in the conquering of Babylon. The A.K. Grayson translation of the Nabonidus Chronicle based on that of T.G. Pinches, considers both the names Ugbaru and Gubaru found in the latter to be references to this Gobryas. However the names are distinct in the text and refer to two different individuals, the one called Gubaru being the ruler placed over Babylon thus corresponding to Cyaxares II Cyaxares of the Cyropedia and the Book of Daniel Darius the Mede Darius the Mede of the Bible not Gobryas. Ugbaru remains a candidate for Gobryas being described as the ruler of the region of Gutium dying soon after the conquest of Babylon similarly to Xenophon s portrayel of Gobryas as an elderly Assyrian ruler.

Tugdamme also Dugdammi and, in classical Greece, Lygdamis was Cimmerians Cimmerian king of the mid seventh century BC. Tugdamme s legacy began sometime around 660 BCE. It seems that his first known attacks were against the Greek coastal cities in Asia Minor . In 653 BCE he began to push at the mighty Assyrian Empire during the reign of Ashurbanipal . The Assyrian inscriptions speak of Tugdamme as being the King of the Saka and Qutium but the Assyrian inscriptions also call him by the title Sar Kissati which means King of Kish or King of the world which suggests that Tugdamme ruled a vast area of land. Tugdamme would eventually be defeated around 641 640 BCE, but it remains unknown as to who defeated and killed him. The historian Strabo suggest that Madys killed Tugdamme and defeated his forces. Ashurbanipal says Marduk defeated Tugdamme, which may suggest that an outside element had defeated Tugdamme and not the Assyrians this outside element may have been Madys. ref citebook title The Assyrian Exile Israel s Legacy in Captivity last Rea first Cam publisher isbn 1604811730 pub date June 2008 pages 127 144 ref According to Fritz Hommel , Tugdamme must have been an ancestor of Sandakhshatra whom he identified with Cyaxares and his son Ishtivegu Astyages , implying identification of Tugdamme with Phraortes . ref The Civilization of the East, Fritz Hommel , translated by J.

Idanthyrsus is the name of two Scythian kings 1.The first one led Scythians, under whom, according to Strabo , they overran Asia, and advanced as far as Egypt. This was perhaps the incursion mentioned by Herodotus , who tells us that they held Asia for 28 years, and were ultimately driven out by Cyaxares , 607 BC . According to Herodotus, however, the king, who led the expedition of which he gives an account, was Madyas and Madyas is mentioned by Strabo i. p. 61 as king of the Cimmerians . An incursion of the Scythians to the borders of Egypt in very early times is recorded by Justin , but in an obscure and unsatisfactory way. 2. Another king of the Scythians, probably a descendant of the above. He was a son of Saulius , the brother and slayer of Anacharsis . When Darius I of Persia invaded Scythia, about 508 BC , and the Scythians retreated before him, he sent a message to Idanthyrsus, calling upon him either to fight or submit. The Scythian king answered that, in flying before the Persians, he was not urged by fear, but was merely living the wandering nomadic life to which he was accustomed, that there was no reason why he should fight the Persians, as he had neither cities for them to take nor lands.
