Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ARTAPHERNES , more correctly ARTAPHRENES, brother of Darius Hystaspis, and satrap of Sardis. It was he who received the embassy from Athens sent probably by
Cleisthenes
  (q.v.) in 507 B.C., and subsequently warned the Athenians to receive back the "
tyrant
  " Hippias. Subsequently he took an important part in suppressing the Ionian revolt (see
IONIA
 , ARISTAGORAS, HIsTIAEEs),and after the war compelled the cities to make agreements by which all differences were to be settled by reference. He also measured out their territories in parasangs and assessed their tributes accordingly (
Herod
 . vi. 42). In 492 he was superseded in his satrapy by Mardonius (Herodotus v. 25, 30-32, 35, &c.; Diod. Sic. x. 25). His son, of the same name, was appointed (49o), together with Datis, to take command of the expedition sent by Darius to punish Athens and Eretria for their share in the
Ionian revolt. After the defeat of Marathon he returned to
Asia
 . In the expedition of
Xerxes
 , ten years later, he was in command of the Lydians and Mysians (
Herod
 . vi. 94, 119; vil. 4, Aesch. Persae, 21).
Aeschylus in his
list
  of Persian kings (Persae, 775 ff.),which is quite unhistorical, mentions two kings with the name Artaphrenes, who may have been developed out of these two Persian commanders. (En. M.)
