MENTOR OF RHODES

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 146 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MENTOR OF RHODES , brother of Memnon (q.v.), a Greek condottiere who appears first in the service of the rebellious satrap Artabazus of
Phrygia
  in 363. When Artabazus had rebelled a second time and was in 353 forced to flee with Memnon into Macedonia, Mentor entered the service of the Egyptian king Nectanebus, and was sent by him with a
body
  of Greek mercenaries to support the rebellious king Tennes (Tabnit) of Sidon against Artaxerxes III. But Tennes and Mentor betrayed the besieged town to the Persians (344 B.C.). Tennes was killed after his treason, but Mentor gained the favour of the king. It was due largely to him that
Egypt
  was conquered in 343 (Diod. xvi. 45 sqq.). He now closely allied himself with the eunuch Bagoas (q.v.), the all-powerful
vizier
  of Artaxerxes III. He was appointed general in
Asia
 
Minor
 , and with the help of Artabazus and Memnon, whose pardon and recall he obtained from the king, subdued the rebels and local dynasts. The most famous among them was Hermias of Atarneus, the
protector
  of
Aristotle
 , who had become master of some towns of Aeolis and Troas. By treachery he made him prisoner and occupied his towns (342 B.C.); Hermias was executed by order of the king (Diod. xvi. 52; Polyaen. vi. 48; pseudo-Arist. Oecon. ii. 27; Strabo xiii. 61o; Didymus' commentary on
Demosthenes
  Phil. 4, p. 6; cf. Diog. Laert. vi. 9). Shortly afterwards Mentor died, and was succeeded by his brother Memnon. His son Thymondas commanded in the naval war against Alexander and at Issus (Arrian ii. 2, 1; 13, 2). (ED. M.)
