CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Son of the Persian general MARDONIUS. Herodotus relates that Mardonius’ corpse disappeared the day after the Battle of PLATAEA; while he cannot say what happened to it, he does know that many people claim to have buried the body and to have received a reward from Artontes for doing so (9.84). The Roman‐era author Pausanias (9.2.2) locates Mardonius’ tomb along the road between Plataea and HYSIAE.
