MetiokhusMetiochus

The illegitimate son of Miltiades the Younger.

Metiokhus’ father, Miltiades, had been the tyrant of the Khersonese (Chersonese) but (circa 493 BCE) he was forced to flee when the Phoenicians were preparing an invasion.

Miltiades loaded his possessions on to five warships and sailed for Athens; Metiokhus was captain of one of the ships and was captured by the Phoenicians and taken prisoner.

The Phoenicians gave Metiokhus to the Persian king, Darius, to gain favor but Darius did Metiokhus no harm; instead, he gave the young man a house, possessions and a Persian wife; he lived the rest of his life in Persia.
