	Artabazus
		Artabazus was the name of two satraps of Hellespontine Phrygia (now northwest Turkey), under the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia.
		The elder Artabazus, son of Pharnaces[?], was one of the generals in Xerxes' invasion of Greece, in charge of the reserve forces guarding the route back to Asia, and responsible for suppressing a revolt in Potidaea[?].
		The younger Artabazus was the son of this Pharnabazus, and became satrap after Ariobarzanes[?], who took part in a revolt against the emperor, was crucified in 362 BC.

	Artabazus (2)
		Artabazus was born in c.389 as younger son of Pharnabazus, the satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia, i.e., the northwest of what is now Turkey.
		Artabazus can not have found it difficult to switch sides, because the Macedonian leader had announced that he considered himself to be the successor of Darius and had given the Persian king a royal burial.
		Artabazus became one of the most influential Persian advisers of Alexander: after all, he was bilingual, had gained the thrust of the Greek mercenaries, was an experienced governor, knew Macedonia well, and was the father of Alexander's lover.

		The siege lasted for three months, and when at last the town seemed to be lost by the low waters of the sea, which enabled his troops to approach the walls from the sea-side, an almost wonderful event saved it, for the returning tide was higher than it had ever been before.
		Arta,bazus dissuaded Mardonius from entering on an engagement with the Greeks, and urgod him to lead his army to Thebes in order to obtain provisions for the men and the cattle; for he entertained the conviction that the mere presence of the Persians would soon compel the Greeks to sur^ render, (ix.
		After this, Artabazus seems either to have continued his rebellious operations, or at least to have commenced afterwards a fresh revolt; but he was at last obliged, with Memnon and his whole family, to take refuge with Philip of Macedonia.

	Artabazus
		Artabazus was the son of Pharnaces, the chief economic official of king Darius I the Great (522-486), who happened to be Pharnaces' cousin.
		During the Greek expedition of king Xerxes (in 480-479), Artabazus first commanded the mounted archers from Chorasmia and Parthia, who are not mentioned again in the description of the war by the Greek researcher Herodotus of Halicarnassus.
		The first Artabazus is probably identical to the Artabazus who was involved in the war between the Athenians and Persians on Cyprus and in Egypt, and opened negotiations between king Artaxerxes I Makrocheir and the Athenians (450).

		Artabazus, son of Pharnabazus, was a respected Persian nobleman, who served a succession of Great Kings, culminating in Darius III, and subsequently Alexander the Great.
		When the Great King was taken into custody and then murdered by Bessus, Satibarzanes and Nabarzanes (in Parthia in early 330BC), Artabazus realised that the game was over, and he transferred his allegiance to the Macedonian (bringing with him his sons, who were also to provide good service for their new Great King).
		Alexander appointed Artabazus to be satrap of Bactria, as a replacement for the traitor Bessus (C 7.5.1).

		Artabazus was the son of Pharnakes (Pharnaces) and commander of the Parthians and Khorasmians (Chorasmians) when Xerxes mounted his invasion of Greece in 480 BCE.
		Artabazus took the remainder of his army and moved south to Thessaly where Mardonius had camped; the entire Persian force then moved to the city of Plataea and prepared to do battle with the allied Greeks who still resisted Persian domination.
		When Mardonius charged into the Greek lines, Artabazus took the troops under his command and marched away from the fighting; Artabazus fled towards Byzantium and hoped to pass over into Asia before news of Mardonius’; death and the Persian defeat reached the northern Greek cities.

	Why the Immortals may not have fought at Plataea
		However if they did remain with Artabazus, their fate is still uncertain considering the events that were to take place.
		Artabazus was not in a hurry to rejoin Mardonius who he was wintering in Thessaly and Macedonia, so layed siege to the towns of Potidaea and Olynthus.
		Considering the likelihood of the Immortals being part of the 60,000 picked troops under Artabazus' command, there is the possiblility that they were the ones who were caught by the rising waters.

		When Artaxerxes prepared his invasion of Egypt, Mentor was sent by Nectanebo of Egypt to hold Sidon against him, but apparently persuaded its ruler Tennes to join him in betraying the city to Artaxerxes, whom he later aided in his re-conquest of Egypt (343).

		Artabazus, on one occasion, shot off his arrow, intending to send it to the accustomed place, but, missing his mark, hit one of the Potidaeans in the shoulder.
