Achaemenes (also incorrectly called Achaemenides by Ctesias, from the Old Persian Haxāmaniš[1]) was an Achaemenid general and satrap of ancient Egypt during the early 5th century BC, at the time of the 27th Dynasty of Egypt. A son of king Darius I by his queen Atossa and thus a full brother of Xerxes I,[1] Achaemenes was appointed satrap of Egypt some time between 486 and 484 BC, shortly after Xerxes' accession. At the time, Egypt was revolting against Achaemenid rule, and it appears likely that the previous satrap Pherendates lost his life in the turmoil.[2] The rebellion, possibly led by a self-proclaimed pharaoh named Psammetichus IV,[3] was eventually quelled by Achaemenes around 484 BC. Achaemenes survived the defeat, and was sent back to Egypt in order to resume his duties as satrap.[2][1] Achaemenid satraps of Egypt ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7058.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7058.txt
