Expedition against Persians

[edit]

Nectanebo's success in theNile Delta against the invading Persian armies in 374–73 BCE encouraged Teos to start to plan a military expedition intoPalestine andPhoenicia, which were territories controlled by the Persians. Taking advantage of a moment of weakness for theAchaemenid Empire due to riots in somesatrapies inAsia Minor, Teos sought assistance from both the octogenarian kingAgesilaus II ofSparta and theAthenian generalChabrias, including a number of mercenaries and 200triremes, from Greece.[7] However, to finance such an expedition, Teos had to impose new taxes and to expropriate the goods of the temples, destroying the delicate balance artfully established by his father Nectanebo. This action ensured to Teos both the required finances and a great unpopularity.[8][9][10]

The Spartan kingAgesilaus offers his services to Teos, Egypt 361 BCE.

The operation against the Persians started with Chabrias as the admiral of the fleet, Agesilaus as the commander of the Greek mercenaries and Teos's nephew Nakhthorheb as the leader of themachimoi (Diodorus Siculus, certainly exaggerating, claimed that themachimoi were 80,000 in number[11]). Teos placed himself in the supreme command of the expedition (the position claimed by Agesilaus) leaving his brotherTjahapimu, the father of Nakhthorheb, in Egypt as hisregent. The expedition made its way to Phoenicia without particular problems.[12][10]

Betrayal and end

[edit]

Unfortunately for Teos, his brother Tjahapimu was plotting against him. Taking advantage of Teos's unpopularity, and with the support of the priestly classes, Tjahapimu convinced his son Nakhthorheb to rebel against Teos and to make himself pharaoh. Nakhthorheb persuaded Agesilaus to join his side by taking advantage of the several disagreements that had arisen between the Spartan king and the pharaoh. Nakhthorheb was acclaimed pharaoh – better known today asNectanebo II – and the betrayed Teos had no alternative but to flee toSusa, the court of his enemies.[12][10]

Knowledge of the final fate of Teos comes from the inscription by a noble called Wennefer, who also participated in Teos's unfortunate expedition as a physician. Wennefer was sent by Nectanebo II in search of Teos and managed to have him held by the Persian kingArtaxerxes II at Susa. Wennefer then had Teos brought back with him in chains to the Egyptian pharaoh.[9]
