Information: - Marduk (Sumerian spelling in Akkadian: AMAR.UTU "solar calf"; Greek , "Mardochaios") was a late-generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon. When Babylon became the political center of the Euphrates valley in the time of Hammurabi (18th century BC), he slowly started to rise to the position of the head of the Babylonian pantheon, a position he fully acquired by the second half of the second millennium BC. In the city of Babylon, he resided in the temple Esagila. "Marduk" is the Babylonian form of his name. - Amestris ("Amstris", perhaps the same as , "Amstris", from Old Persian "Amstr-", "strong woman") was the wife of Xerxes I of Persia, mother of Achaemenid King of Kings Artaxerxes I of Persia. She was known to have been poorly regarded by ancient Greek historians. - Megabyzus (calque of Old Persian Bagabuxsa-, meaning "God saved") was a Achaemenid Persian general, son of Zopyrus, satrap of Babylonia. His father was killed when the satrapy rebelled in 482 BC, and Megabyzus led the forces that recaptured the city, after which the statue of the god Marduk was destroyed to prevent future revolts. Megabyzus subsequently took part in the expedition against Greece. Herodotus claims that he refused to act on orders to pillage Delphi, but it is doubtful such orders were ever given. - Herodotus ("Hrodotos") was a Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus in the Persian Empire (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey) and lived in the fifth centuryBC (484 425BC), a contemporary of Socrates. He is widely referred to as "The Father of History" (first conferred by Cicero); he was the first historian known to have broken from Homeric tradition to treat historical subjects as a method of investigationspecifically, by collecting his materials systematically and critically, and then arranging them into a historiographic narrative. "The Histories" is the only work which he is known to have produced, a record of his "inquiry" (or "historia") on the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars, including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. Some of his stories were fanciful and others inaccurate; yet he states that he was reporting only what was told to him and was often correct in his information. Despite Herodotus' historical significance, little is known of his personal history. - ArtaxerxesI (, "whose rule ("xsaca" < "*xsaram") is through "arta" (truth)"; ) was the fifth King of Persia from 465BC to 424BC. He was the third son of Xerxes I. - Xerxes I (x-s-y-a-r-s-a "ruling over heroes", Greek ; 518465BC), called Xerxes the Great, was the fourth king of kings of the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia. He ruled from 486BC until his assassination in 465BC at the hands of Artabanus, the commander of the royal bodyguard. - Cyrus the Younger (Old Persian: ), son of Darius II of Persia and Parysatis, was a Persian prince and general. His birth date is unknown, but he died in 401 BC after a failed battle to oust his brother, Artaxerxes II, from the Persian throne. - Amytis ( Greek Amitys , Old Persian * Umati ) was an Achaemenid princess , daughter of king Xerxes I and queen Amestris , and sister of king Artaxerxes I. She was given in marriage to the nobleman Megabyzus . Amytis and her mother are portrayed in Ctesias ' account as the most powerful women during Artaxerxes ' reign . Near 445 BC , her husband Megabyzus started a successful revolt in Syria against Artaxerxes I. Initially , Amytis stayed with the king during the war ; however , she later participated , along with Amestris and the satrap Artarius , in the reconciliation negotiations between the rebel and the king . Notwithstanding this , Megabyzus again fell in disgrace and was expelled from the court and exiled to a town on the Persian Gulf . After five years in exile , Megabyzus was forgiven and allowed to return to the court , again thanks to the intercession of Amytis and Amestris . Amytis bore Megabyzus two sons : Zopyrus and Artyphius . After the death of his father and mother , Zopyrus fled to Athens , where , according to Ctesias , he '' was well received owing to the services his mother had rendered to the Athenians '' . Greek sources portray Amytis as a licentious woman . According to Ctesias , during Xerxes ' reign she was accused of adultery by Megabyzus . The same historian further affirms that , after her husband 's death , she had a love affair with the Greek physician Apollonides of Cos , and that when the affair was discovered , Apollonides was tortured and put to death by queen mother Amestris . Dinon , another Greek historian , describes Amytis as the most beautiful and licentious woman of Asia . The most difficult challenge in using historians as Ctesias or Dinon as reliable sources is the fact that they tended to write amazing stories that would better appeal to their readers , often without much attention to historical rigor . The lack of primary sources makes it therefore impossible to have an accurate image of Amytis . - Ctesias ("Ktsis"), also known as Ctesias the Cnidian or Ctesias of Cnidus, was a Greek physician and historian from the town of Cnidus in Caria. Ctesias, who lived in the 5th century BC, was physician to Artaxerxes Mnemon, whom he accompanied in 401 BC on his expedition against his brother Cyrus the Younger.
