Megabates (Old Iranian Bagapāta, Greek: Μεγαβάτης; dates unknown) was a Persian military leader in the late 6th and early 5th centuries BC. According to Herodotus he was a cousin of Darius the Great and his brother Artaphernes, satrap of Lydia. With Aristagoras and 200 ships, he was sent by Darius the Great to annex the small Aegean island to the Persian Empire.[1] Herodotus is of the view that this venture failed after a siege of four months because of the mutual dislike between Aristagoras and Megabates. Megabates followed in his older brother's footsteps and was appointed satrap of Phrygia, with his residence at Dascylium.
