Evagoras was the king of Salamis (410 - 374 BC) in Cyprus.
Evagoras was allowed to remain nominally king of Salamis, but in reality a vassal of Persia, to which he was to pay a yearly tribute.
According to Isocrates's panegyric, Evagoras was a model ruler, whose aim was to promote the welfare of his state and of his subjects by the cultivation of Greek refinement and civilization.

 Isocrates IX, Evagoras, tr. J.A. Freese
Evagoras appears to have been a man of distinct ability, and the champion of Hellenism against barbarism, as shown by his resistance against Persia.

EVAGORAS, son of Nicocles, king of Salamis in Cyprus 410—374 B.C. He claimed descent from Teucer, half-brother of Ajax, son of Telamon, and his family had long been rulers of Salamis until supplanted by a Phoenician exile.
According to Isocrates, whose panegyric must however be read with caution, Evagoras was a model ruler, whose aim was to promote the welfare of his state and of his subjects by the cultivation of Greek refinement and civilization, which had been almost obliterated in Salamis by a long period of barbarian rule.
The chief authority for the life of Evagoras is the panegyric of Isocrates addressed to his son Nicocles; see also Diod.

After this the usurper sought to apprehend Evagoras, probably from jealousy of his hereditary claim to the government, but the latter made his escape to Cilicia, and, having there assembled a small band of followers, returned secretly to Salamis, attacked the tyrant in his palace, overpowered his guards, and put him to death.

The dissensions between his two adversaries at length proved the safety of Evagoras: Tiribazus was recalled in con­sequence of the intrigues of Orontes, and the latter hastened to conclude a peace with the Cyprian monarch, by which he was allowed to retain un­controlled possession of Salamis, with the title of king.

 David Nash - Jalmenus evagoras
Jalmenus evagoras is an Australian lycaenid butterfly, which like many lycaenids has an apparently mutualistic relationship with ants.
Eggs of Jalmenus evagoras are laid on various species of Acacia, and the caterpillars feed on the leaves of these bushes when they hatch.
Hence it seems that what the ants get from the caterpillars in return for their protection is food - both sugars and amino acids - so that the relationship between the ants and the butterfly is a mutualism - one in which both partners benefit.

 Isocrates letter to Nicocles on Evagoras
For other exiles from royal power are humbled in spirit because of their misfortunes,whereas Evagoras attained to such greatness of soul that, although until that time he had lived as a private citizen, when he was driven into exile he determined to gain the throne.
With regard to Evagoras, however, the king had stood in terror of him for so long a time that even while he was receiving benefits from him he had undertaken to make war upon him--a wrongful act, indeed, but his purpose was not altogether unreasonable.
But when he saw that Evagoras was again putting up a bold resistance to the siege and, furthermore, that the soldiers were angered at the arrest of Tiribazus and so were insubordinate and listless in pressing the siege, Orontes became alarmed at the surprising change in the situation.

While the intention to praise a single contemporary figure with the purpose of immortalizing his virtue (4) rings of the epinician project, the Evagoras proceeds by eschewing traditional forms of poetic praise.
Evagoras’ deeds are described as lacking divine aid, and by virtue of the independence of his activity, Isocrates ascribes to him a fortune and happiness that in fact surpass those of the gods.

 Diodorus on Evagoras II and Pnythagoras
During their term of office, in Cyprus, while the people of Salamis were being besieged by Evagoras and Phocion, the rest of the cities all became subject to the Persians, and Pnytagoras, the king of Salamis, alone continued to endure the siege.
[2] Now Evagoras was endeavouring to recover his ancestral rule over the Salaminians and through the help of the King of the Persians to be restored to his kingship.
But later, when he had been falsely accused to Artaxerxes and the King was backing Pnytagoras, Evagoras, after having given up hope of his restoration and made his defence on the accusations brought against him, was accorded another and higher command in Asia.

Evagoras I took the city of Tyre (by assault or secret sympathy?) and he gained control of 20 Tyrian triremes.
In 390 BC, the obverse of the coins of Tyre is changed to show the Persian King/hero riding a mythical sea creature "Hypocamp" with bow in hand (some suggest this may be the god Ba'al or even Melkart, however there are none of the prerequisite symbols on the coin that would designate a god).
It may have been due to Evagoras I, who was unconcerned about the economic soundness of the Phoenician money and allowed the issue of these fourees or simply that Athens had cut off the supply of silver from Anatolia and the western Mediterranean to Persia/Phoenicia and these were an emergency issue.

By this time, however, both Persia and Sparta were tired of war, and in 386 BC the Peace of Antalcidas was arranged, by which a free hand in all the Greek cities of Asia was ceded to Persia in exchange for autonomy in all the other Hellenic states.

By contrast, the writings of Isocrates, who uniquely combined Athenocentric and Panhellenic perspectives and was forced to confront the challenges involved in reconciling them, offer a genuinely new contribution to the contemporary intellectual debate on the relationship between Greek and barbarian identity, homonoia and hegemony.
Though ostensibly a Cypriot oration, Isocrates' Evagoras echoes many of the motifs from the Panegyricus - including even its most central question about the nature of benevolent leadership - and thus Cyprus can be interpreted here as the microcosm of Greece, with Salamis as its Athens.
By demonstrating that political changes alone could culturally transform the people of Salamis, Isocrates effectively invalidated the idea of a natural boundary between "Greekness" and "barbarism." Paradoxically, it was this step which allowed him to find a compromise between hegemony and homonoia.

In classical times we know through author Isocrates that King Evagoras of Salamis personally saw to the construction of the harbour of Salamis.
The new military harbour (built by King Evagoras) consisted of a long strip of sea along the eastern seafront of the city, in the lee of the presently submerged reef, was the arsenal, used for the maintenance of local boats, dock yards and storage facilities.
The harbour of Salamis and its arsenal was prosperous until the 3rd century BC when Ptolemy moved the capital from Salamis to Paphos.

After five daughters, Evagoras (Georges Corraface, also in "Cock") finally has a son and, honoring his vow to St. Andreas, sets off from Pafos amid much village pomp.
With his Chaplinesque mustache and hair, Corraface makes Evagoras a mildly comic Everyman, which helps to alleviate the often slow pacing but doesn't help to focus the ideas floating around in the script.
