Amyntas II (son of Bubares) - Wikipedia Amyntas II (son of Bubares) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Alabanda Location of Alabanda in Asia Minor, received from Xerxes by Amyntas II. Amyntas II was the son of the Persian official Bubares by his Macedonian wife Gygaea.[1] He was named after his maternal grandfather, Amyntas I of Macedon, who ruled Macedon as a Persian subject since 512/511 BC.[2][3] Later, king Xerxes I (r. 486-465 BC) gave him the Carian city of Alabanda.[4][2] Amyntas was possibly the direct successor of the tyrant Aridolis.[5] "Bubares, a Persian, had taken to wife Gygaea, Alexander's sister and Amyntas' daughter, who had borne to him that Amyntas of Asia who was called by the name of his mother's father, and to whom the king gave Alabanda, a great city in Phrygia, for his dwelling." — Herodotus VIII.136[6] References[edit] ^ Roisman & Worthington 2010, p. 343. sfn error: no target: CITEREFRoismanWorthington2010 (help) ^ a b Briant 2002, p. 350. ^ Roisman & Worthington 2010, pp. 136, 343. sfn error: no target: CITEREFRoismanWorthington2010 (help) ^ Roisman & Worthington 2010, p. 136. sfn error: no target: CITEREFRoismanWorthington2010 (help) ^ McNicoll, Milner; McNicoll, Anthony; Milner, N.
