Historical Briefing
At Papremis in 460 BC, the Libyan-Egyptian prince Inaros raised the Nile Delta in revolt against Persia and, backed by an Athenian fleet, defeated the army of the satrap Achaemenes — brother of the Great King — who fell in the battle. The rising blazed for years before Persia crushed it in 454 BC.
