Tithraustes (son of Xerxes I)

Tithraustes was a member of the Persian Achaemenid dynasty in the 5th century BC. He was a son of the Grand King Xerxes I and a concubine.

Like his cousin Pherendates, Tithraustes was one of the foremen of the Persians in the battle of Eurymedon around the year 466/65 BC. He commanded the Persian fleet, while his cousin, who was killed in battle, commanded the Landheer. Plutarch, too, knew by the tradition of Ephorus the two of them as leaders of the Persian subpractice, but he also called the Ariomandes, as a commander-in-chief of the total power, in calling on Kallisthenes.
