Hecatomnus of Mylasa or Hekatomnos ((ギリシア語:Ἑκατόμνος)) was an early 4th-century BC ruler of Caria. He was the satrap (governor) of Caria for the Persian Achaemenid king Artaxerxes II (404–358 BC). However, the basis for Hecatomnus' political power was twofold: he was both a high appointed Persian official and a powerful local dynast, who founded the hereditary dynasty of the Hecatomnids. ==Biography== Hecatomnus was the son and successor of Hyssaldomus, a dynastic ruler of Mylasa. It is likely that Hecatomnus had been a supporter of Tissaphernes and might have been employed by him in the subordinate office of hyparch.〔Ruzicka, pp. 18-19〕 At some time after 395 BC 〔Tissaphernes who was satrap of Lydia and Caria was executed in 395.〕 Hecatomnus became the first satrap of Caria, which was until then part of other satrapies, usually that of Lydia. The designation of Caria as a separate satrapy was part of a reorganization of Persian power in western Anatolia by Artaxerxes II in the aftermath of Cyrus's revolt. Hecatomnus was the first non-Persian official to be elevated to the position of satrap. He acceded as satrap perhaps in 394 BC,〔John Hazel, ''Who's Who in the Greek World'', p. 110〕 but no later than 390 BC,〔Susan M. Sherwin-White, ''Ancient Cos'', 1978, p. 41〕 when he was appointed by the Persian king to command the naval forces destined to take part in the war against Evagoras I of Cyprus. Isocrates states that he was still ruling in 380 BC. Stephen Ruzicka places his death in 377/376 BC 〔Ruzicka, p. 29〕 He left three sons, Mausolus, Idrieus and Pixodarus, and two daughters, Artemisia and Ada, who were married to their brothers, Mausolus and Idrieus, all five of whom in turn succeeded him as rulers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hecatomnus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
