AMYRTAEUS

4:00 PM | Posted by Mostafa Gad


AMYRTAEUS(reigned 404–399 BC). Greek name for the Egyptian
ruler of Dynasty 28, Amenirdis of Sais, who led a rebellion against
the Persian occupation and succeeded in expelling them from the
country. He apparently invaded Phoenicia to prevent a Persian counterattack.
No inscriptions of his are known, but Amyrtaeos is mentioned
in a demotic papyrus. Amyrtaeos was later overthrown by Nefaarud
I, founder of Dynasty 29.
