Artaxerxes III, also known as Artaxerxes Ochus, was a ruler of the Achaemenid Empire who reigned from 359 to 338 BCE. He was the son of Artaxerxes II and Stateira, and he succeeded his father after his death.
During his reign, Artaxerxes III faced many challenges, including rebellions from provincial governors, revolts by his own family members, and invasions by foreign powers. One of his most significant accomplishments was his successful quelling of the revolt of his brother, Cyrus the Younger, who had attempted to seize the throne.
Artaxerxes III was also known for his military campaigns, including his invasion of Egypt in 343 BCE. He was able to conquer the country and establish Achaemenid rule over Egypt, which had previously been ruled by the Twenty-seventh Dynasty.
In addition to his military conquests, Artaxerxes III was known for his building projects and his patronage of the arts. He was also a devout follower of Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Achaemenid Empire.
Artaxerxes III was eventually assassinated in 338 BCE, by one of his own courtiers, named Bagoas. Despite his relatively short reign, Artaxerxes III is remembered as one of the most significant rulers of the Achaemenid Empire, and his legacy continues to be studied and debated by historians to this day.
