Further information is contained in the excerpts from Artaxerxes II's physician, Ctesias, by Photius; Plutarch's Lives of Artaxerxes II and Lysander; and Thucydides' History of Peloponnesian War.[1] These are the only early sources of information on Cyrus the Younger. He sent Cyrus the Younger into Asia Minor as satrap of Lydia and Phrygia Major with Cappadocia, and commander of the Persian troops, "which gather into the field of Castolos", i.e. of the army of the district of Asia Minor.[5] There, Cyrus met the Spartan general Lysander. Notwithstanding, she prevailed not with Darius, but the eldest son Arsicas was proclaimed king, his name being changed into Artaxerxes; and Cyrus remained satrap of Lydia, and commander in the maritime provinces."[2] Plutarch's account of Cyrus' death[edit] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8710.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8710.txt
