MITHRADATES

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 620 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MITHRADATES , less correctly MITHRIDATES, a Persian name derived from Mithras (q.v.), the sun-god, and the Indo-
European
  root da, " to give," i.e. " given by Mithras." The name occurs also in the forms Mitradates (
Herod
 . i. Ito) and Meherdates (Tac. Ann. xii. 1o). It was borne by a large number of Oriental
kings
 , soldiers and statesmen. The earliest are Mithradates, the eunuch who helped
Artabanus
  to assassinate
Xerxes
  I. (Diod. xi. 69), and the Mithradates who fought first with Cyrus the Younger and after his death with Artaxerxes against the Greeks (Xen. Anab. ii. 5, 35; iii. 3, 110; iii. 4, 15), and is the ancestor of the
kings
  of Pontus. The most important are three kings of
Parthia
  of the Arsacid dynasty, and six (or four) kings of Pontus. There were also two kings of Commagene, two of the Bosporus and one of Armenia (A.D. 3551).
