	Mausolus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mausolus (Greek: Μαύσωλος; also Maussollus) was a satrap of the Persian empire and virtual ruler of Caria (377-353/352 BC).
		He took part in the revolt against Artaxerxes Mnemon (362), conquered a great part of Lycia, Ionia and several of the Greek islands and cooperated with the Rhodians and their ally in the Social War against Athens.
		Mausolus was the eldest son of Hecatomnus of Mylasa, a native Carian who became Satrap of Caria, when Tissaphernes died, around 395 BC.

		Whatever the reason, Mausolus briefly joined what the historian Diodorus of Sicily calls the "Revolt of the Satraps", which is perhaps too grand a name for a series of rebellions that continued for some time without really threatening the stability of the Persian empire.
		At various times, Ariobarzanes of Hellespontine Phrygia, Datames of Cappadocia, Mausolus of Caria, Orontes of Armenia, and Autophradates of Lydia were involved, and they received support from the pharaohs of Egypt, Nectanebo I (378-361), Teos (361-358), and Nectanebo II (358-341).
