Polykrates (2)Polycrates

An Athenian military captain who was part of the mercenary army commanded by Xenophon in the service of the Persian prince, Kyrus (Cyrus).

The unsuccessful attempt by Kyrus to take the Persian throne from his brother, Artaxerxes, and the subsequent retreat of the Greek mercenaries back to Greek territory is well documented in the history, Anabasis, by Xenophon.
