MEMNON OF RHODES

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 106 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEMNON OF RHODES , brother of Mentor (q.v.), with whom he entered the services of the rebellious satrap Artabazus of
Phrygia
 , who married his
sister
 . Mentor after the conquest of
Egypt
  rose high in the favour of the king, and Memnon, who had taken
refuge
  with Artabazus at the Macedonian
court
 , became a zealous adherent of the Persian king; he assisted Mentor in subduing the rebellious satraps and dynasts in
Asia
 
Minor
 , and succeedei him as general of the Persian troops. In the pseudo-Aristotelian Oeconomica, ii. 28, stories are told of his methods of obtaining money ,and evading his obligations; thus he extorted a large sum of money from the conquered inhabitants of Lampsacus and cheated his soldiers out of a
part
  of their pay. He owned a large territory in eastern Troas (Arrian i. 17, 8; Strabo xiii. 587). He gained some successes against Philip II. of Macedon in 336 (Diod. xvii. 6; Polyaen. v. 44, 4, 5) and commanded the Persian army against Alexander's invasion. Convinced that it was impossible to meet Alexander in a pitched battle, his plan was to lay
waste
  the country and retire into the interior, meanwhile organizing resistance on sea (where the Persians were far superior to the Macedonians) and carrying the war into
Greece
 . But his advice was overridden by the Persian satraps, who forced him to fight at the Granicus. After his defeat he tried to organize the maritime war and occupied the Greek islands, but in the beginnipg of 333 he fell ill and died (Arrian i1. 1, I). (ED. M.)
