Résumé
La section des Persikà consacrée à la vie d’Artoxerxès est en réalité l’histoire des exploits de Mégabyze, un aristocrate qui rivalise avec le roi pendant toute sa vie. L’analyse de la source nous amène à réfléchir sur les motivations qui poussèrent Ctésias à donner une grande importance à Mégabyze et en même temps nous renseigne sur certaines dynamiques historiques et politiques de l’histoire perse du milieu du Ve siècle av. J. -C.
Summary
The section of Persikà dedicated to the life of Artoxerxès is in reality the history of the exploits of Megabyzus, an aristocrat who antagonizes with the king throughout his life. The analysis of the source leads us to reflect on the motivations that drove Ctesias to give great importance to Megabyzus and at the same time tells us about some historical and political dynamics of Persian history from the mid-fifth century BC.
