|Phoenicia|, |Persian| |Empire,| |Sidon,| |Phoenicia,| |Evagoras| |II,| |c.| |346| |-| |342| |B.C.|, In 351 B.C., Sidon revolted against Artaxerxes. The siege went badly for Sidon. King Tennes, fled the city with most of the able-bodied warriors. The inhabitants, 40,000 people of all ages, sealed themselves in the city, set fire to the buildings, and perished in the flames. The city never completely recovered. The Cypriote, Euagoras II, likely ruled Sidon after the destruction.
