# Prexaspes

> Prexaspes was a prominent Persian during the reign of Cambyses II, the second King of Kings of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. According to Herodotus, when Cambyses ordered his trusted counselor Prexaspes to kill Bardiya, the King's own brother, Prexaspes loyally carried out his order. Herodotus provides two versions of the murder. After moving from Egypt to Susa, Prexaspes either killed Bardiya in a hunting field near Susa, or drowned him in the Erythrean Sea.

*Persian minister, counselor to Cambyses II (d. 522 BCE)*
