Years: 405BCE - 394BCE
Evagoras, a member of the traditional ruling family of the Greek city of Salamis in Cyprus, had gained the throne in 411-410 after a period of Phoenician domination.
(Most of what is known of him is found in the panegyric “Evagoras” by Isocrates, where he is described, with extravagant praise, as a model ruler whose aim was to promote the welfare of his state by cultivation of Greek refinement and civilization.)
Pursuing a policy of friendship with Athens and the promotion of Hellenism in Cyprus, Athens recognizes his services by the gift of Athenian citizenship.
He also maintains friendly relations with Achaemenian Persia, securing Persian support for Athens in the early years of the Corinthian War (395-387) against Sparta.
