Topic: Idrieus


In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
  Idrieus
Idrieus: satrap of Caria between 351 and 344, member of the Hecatomnid dynasty.
In the meantime, Idrieus had obeyed and had brought the Athenian commander Phocion, who led an army of mercenaries, and the Cypriote leader Euagoras II to the island.
Building activity of Idrieus is attested in Halicarnassus, where he must have finished the Mausoleum, and at Labraunda, where he restored the temple of Zeus, added the southern and eastern entrances, and built the 'Doric house'.

 Idrieus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)
This is the only event of his reign which is recorded to us; but we may infer, from an expression of Isocrates, in 346 BC (To Philip 103), that the friendly relations between him and the Persian king did not long continue: they appear to have come even to an open rupture.
Building activity of Idrieus is attested in Halicarnassus, where he must have finished the Mausoleum (http://www.livius.org/a/turkey/halicarnassus/halicarnassus2.html), and the sanctuary of Labraunda.
Idrieus died of disease in 344 BC, after a reign of seven years, leaving the sovereign power, by his will, to his sister Ada, to whom, according to local custom, he had been married.

Under the satraps Maussollos (377-352 B.C.) and Idrieus (351-344 B.C.) the sanctuary was completely reshaped.
Possibly his lucky escape was the reason for the launching of a large building project with a series of artificial terraces, one or two propylons, a small Doric buildings, a monumental staircase, two large banqueting halls (Andrones), a portico building, a stoa, and a peripteral temple to Zeus.
With the death of Idrieus in 344 B.C. the project and the building activity came to an end.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Agesilaus by Plutarch
He was in all other things a man of great and exact justice, but when the case concerned a friend, to be strait-laced in point of justice, he said, was only a colourable pretence of denying him.
There is an epistle written to Idrieus, Prince of Caria, that is ascribed to Agesilaus; it is this: "If Nicias be innocent, absolve him; if he be guilty, absolve him upon my account; however, be sure to absolve him." This was his usual character in his deportment towards his friends.
This story is related by Hieronymus, the philosopher.

 The Wonder of Halikarnassos by Chris Drum Bodrum Life English Edition 2005
Yes- Bodrum, ancient Halikarnassos, was on the tourist map millennia ago as the city dominated by the 5-story high tomb of King Mausolous and his sister-wife Artemisia.
Mausolous began work on his own funerary monument before his death in 353 B.C, and his grief-stricken widow continued work on it for the next three years until she died and left the task of completion to their younger brother and successor Idrieus.
The construction took 2 renowned architects- Pythius and Satyrus; and the leading sculptors of the Hellenic world- Bryaxis, Leochares, Timotheus and Scopas who each worked on a single side of the structure, with perhaps Pythius carving the arrangement statues with Artemisia and Mausolous, on the top of the pyramidal roof.

 Hand in Hand with History: Classical Bodrum by Rose Baring| Travel Reviews from Travel Intelligence
Herodotus describes the sanctuary of Zeus Labrayndus before Mausolus’ time as a sacred grove of plane trees, and it is easy in this remote rural setting to imagine sacrificing to the ancient gods in such a natural temple.
Most of the pale stone buildings scattered over the monumental terraces in this hill-top eerie were built by Mausolus and his brother Idrieus, who complemented the sturdy plane trees with a forest of fluted columns in the Temple of Zeus and built monumental banqueting halls for the visiting pilgrims.

 The Grecian Empire
When Miletus, encouraged by the proximity of the Persian fleet, resisted, Alexander took it by assault; but, refusing a naval battle, he disbanded his own costly navy and announced that he would "defeat the Persian fleet on land," by occupying the coastal cities.
In Caria, Halicarnassus resisted and was stormed; but Ada, the widow and sister of the satrap Idrieus, adopted Alexander as her son and, after expelling her brother Pixodarus, Alexander restored her to her satrapy.
Some parts of Caria held out, however, until 332.
