Persian Achaemenid Empire, Carian Satrapy, Hekatomnos, c. 392 - 377 B.C.
|Mylasa|, |Persian| |Achaemenid| |Empire,| |Carian| |Satrapy,| |Hekatomnos,| |c.| |392| |-| |377| |B.C.|, Hecatomnus was a native of Mylasa, which he made his capital and the seat of his government. His coins often depict Zeus Labrandenos from the celebrated temple of that name near Mylasa. The Persian emperor appointed Hecatomnus to command naval forces in the war against Evagoras of Cyprus, but he not only took no part in support of the Emperor, but secretly supplied Evagoras with money for mercenaries. The disorganized Persian monarchy took no action against Hecatomnus and he continued to rule Caria until his death. He left three sons, Mausolus, Idrieus and Pixodarus - all of whom - in their turn, succeeded him in the sovereignty.
