Bardija (king of Persia)

-

Bardija (6th century BC) - the son of Persian king Cyrus of the Achaemenid dynasty, younger brother Kambyzesa. The Greeks called him Smerdis.

After the death of Cyrus in 529 BC. King of Persia became his elder brother Kambi, while Bardija was given dominion over the eastern provinces of the empire.

According to Herodotus and the inscriptions of Darius I in Behistun Kambyzes for unknown reasons murdered his younger brother (most likely Bardija was at the head of the plot against Kambyzes). According to various versions, it was before Kambyzesa's expedition to Egypt in 525 BC, or in its course. The murder was kept secret.

The mysterious murder of Bardiji was exploited by the Gaumat medial magician, who in 522 BC He took power in Persia, claiming Bardiya. When Kambi, who was still in Africa, learned of the usurper, went to Persia. He died on the road in unclear circumstances.

The government of the usurper - Gaumata-Bardiji - ended after six months. He was assassinated in the Sikjawautis fortress in Medjugorje by a side representative of the Achemenid line, Darius, who became the new king of Persia.

The main source of the story of the usurper Gaumata is the Insistence of Behistun, which is problematic that it was created by his murderer, Darius. Dari claims that Gaumata-Bardija was a cruel tyrant who killed all who knew the true Bardiya and could recognize his deceit. However, it has to be noted that after the assassination of Gaumata, Dariusz had to suppress rebellion in various parts of the empire for several months, suggesting that he was a popular ruler. Accordingly, some historians have hypothesized that no Gaumata-Bardiji was present, and Darius and the conspirators simply killed Bardiya, the rightful heir to the Achemenid throne, and then created the Gaumat story to justify his progress.
