Abdemon

Late 5th-century BC Phoenician king of Cyprus

Abdemon, was the king of Salamis on Cyprus towards the end of the 5th century BC. He was of Phoenician origin and was born either in Tyre or Kition. Around 415 BC, Abdemon deposed the Phoenician ruler of Salamis. Evagoras, who allegedly came from a Greek dynasty, had to leave the city and went into exile in Soli.
