Artoxares Pronunciation needed needing not the original Latin Greek pronunciation, but the Anglicized pronunciation that Classics Philosophy History etc. scholars use in English Old Persian Artax ara c. 465 BC after 419 BC was a Paphlagonian eunuch , who played a central role during the reigns of Artaxerxes I and Darius II of Persia . According to Ctesias , when he was twenty years old, he participated in an embassy to the rebel satrap Megabyzus . King Artaxerxes I and the rebel reconciled c. 445 BC . Nevertheless, Megabyzus fell again in disgrace and was exiled to a Persian Gulf town. Artoxares, who had helped Megabyzus to get the favour of the king, was expelled from the court to Armenia . It has been argued that he actually was appointed to the charge of satrap of Armenia, but it is not explicitly stated by Ctesias. When Artaxerxes died 424 BC , his sons Xerxes II , Sogdianus and Darius II Ochus started a civil war. As well as Arbarius , cavalry commander, and Arsames satrap Arsames , satrap of Egypt , Artoxares followed Darius. When Darius defeated his brothers, Artoxares became one of the most powerful members of the court. Nevertheless, after a short time he plotted against the new king, and was executed by the order of queen Parysatis . Artoxares plot took place just after the revolts of Arsites and Artyphius , and of the satrap Pissuthnes . From the Murashu family archives from Nippur , we know a certain Artahshar Artah ar , who has been identified with the Artoxares of the classical sources. According to this archives, the domains of Manu t nu identified with Menostanes , a follower of Sogdianus passed to Artah ar after Darius coronation.
