Mithridates (soldier) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mithridates (soldier)
Mithridates (died 401 BC) was a young Persian soldier in the army of king Artaxerxes II who according to a version in Plutarch's ''Life of Artaxerxes II'', accidentally killed the rebel claimant to the throne Cyrus the Younger in the Battle of Cunaxa (Greek: Κούναξα). ==Account of events==
Shortly after, Cyrus's death was reported to the king, Artaxerxes. Mithridates was given rich presents by the king, as defeating Cyrus secured Artaxerxes' position as king. However, it was Artaxerxes' wish that all men think it was he and he alone who had slain Cyrus, thus Mithridates was given the rewards for conveying the horse trappings of Cyrus to the king. A while later when invited to a banquet, Mithridates then boasted that he was the one that killed Cyrus, not realizing that he was inducing his own undoing.
