Tissaphernes (Ancient Greek: Τισσαφέρνης; Old Persian Čiçafarnah, Aramaic Ššprn, Lycian Kizzaprñna, Zisaprñna[1]) (445 BC – 395 BC) was a Persian soldier and statesman, Satrap of Lydia. In 414 BC, Tissaphernes was assigned by Darius II to suppress the rebellion of Pissuthnes, the Persian satrap of Asia Minor, and to take over his office. When Darius II ordered Tissaphernes to proceed to suppress the continued rebellion of Pissuthnes' son Amorges, and also ordered him to collect the outstanding tribute from the Greek cities of Asia Minor, many of which were under Athenian protection, Tissaphernes entered into an alliance with Sparta against Athens, which in 412 BC led to the Persian conquest of the greater part of Ionia.[4] When, therefore, in 408 BC the king decided to actively support Sparta, Tissaphernes was removed as a general and his responsibilities were limited to the satrapy of Caria, with Lydia and the conduct of the war being entrusted to Cyrus the Younger.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8059.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8059.txt
