Evagoras
The long war in Cyprus between Evagoras and the Persian king, remembered as proof of Evagoras' courage and power.
furthermore, when he became hostile to the king, he defended himself so gloriously that the Cyprian War has become memorable for ever:
For he was manifestly more concerned about the war in Cyprus than about any other, and regarded Evagoras as a more powerful and formidable antagonist than Cyrus, who had disputed the throne with him.
Therefore it was not in anger for the events of the past, but with forebodings for the future, nor yet fearing for Cyprus alone, but for reasons far weightier, that he undertook the war against Evagoras.
Panegyricus
