Persian Empire, Sidon, Phoenicia, Ba'Alshillem II, c. 401 - 366 B.C.
|Phoenicia|, |Persian| |Empire,| |Sidon,| |Phoenicia,| |Ba'Alshillem| |II,| |c.| |401| |-| |366| |B.C.|, Cyrus the Great conquered Phoenicia in 539 BC. The Persians divided Phoenicia into four vassal kingdoms: Sidon, Tyre, Arwad, and Byblos. It is likely that much of the Phoenician population migrated to Carthage and other colonies following the Persian conquest. Straton was a vassal of the Persian Great King Artaxerxes II. He revolted against Persia in 359 B.C. but died the following year.
