Parysatis

The wife of Darius II of Persia and the mother of Kyrus (Cyrus) the Younger and Artaxerxes.

When Darius died in 404 BCE, Artaxerxes II took the throne and had Kyrus arrested under suspicion of instigating a revolt and trying to take the throne for himself; Kyrus was only able to escape his brother’s wrath through the intervention of Parysatis.
