The son of queen Tomyris of the nation of the Massagetae.
When the Persians faced the Massagetae in battle, circa 529 BCE, the Persian king, Kyrus the Great, captured Spargapises and, using him as a hostage, tried to force queen Tomyris to surrender; Spargapises persuaded Kyrus to free him from his bonds and managed to escape; the Massagetae army defeated the Persians and killed Kyrus.
