He sent Philiscus of Abydos, a hyparch (vice-regent) and military commander of the Achaemenid satrap Ariobarzanes, to Delphi in order to help the Greek negotiate peace.[16][17][18] The objective of Philicus of Abydos was such to help broker a Common Peace between the Greek belligerents reunited at Delphi.[18] The negotiation collapsed when Thebes refused to return Messenia to the Spartans.[18] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6944.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6944.txt
