Son of the Persian nobleman BUBARES and the Macedonian princess GYGAEA (sister of ALEXANDER I). Herodotus reports (8.136.1) that Amyntas was given the Phrygian city of Alabanda by the Persian king (presumably XERXES). Possibly Amyntas, being both an ACHAEMENID and Macedonian royalty, was destined to succeed his uncle as “satrap‐king” of MACEDONIA until the Persians were driven out of EUROPE by the Greeks (Badian 1994, 115–16).
