About: Alarodians

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Alarodians (Ancient Greek: Ἀλαρόδιοι (Alarodioi)) were tribe living in Northern Persia or Armenia during Classical antiquity. According to Herodotus, the Alarodians were part of the 18th Satrapy of the Achaemenid Empire and formed a special contingent in the grand army of Xerxes I. Some scholars have tried to link the Alarodians to Urartians, suggesting that Alarodian was a variation of the name Urartian/Araratian. According to this theory, the Urartians of the 18th Satrapy were subsequently absorbed into the Armenian nation. Modern historians, however, have cast doubt on the Alarodian connection to the Urartians.

  • Alarodians (Ancient Greek: Ἀλαρόδιοι (Alarodioi)) were tribe living in Northern Persia or Armenia during Classical antiquity. According to Herodotus, the Alarodians were part of the 18th Satrapy of the Achaemenid Empire and formed a special contingent in the grand army of Xerxes I. Some scholars have tried to link the Alarodians to Urartians, suggesting that Alarodian was a variation of the name Urartian/Araratian. According to this theory, the Urartians of the 18th Satrapy were subsequently absorbed into the Armenian nation. Modern historians, however, have cast doubt on the Alarodian connection to the Urartians. Nearly nothing is known about Alarodians except that they "were armed like the Colchians and Saspeires," according to Herodotus. (en)
  • Алародии (греч. Ἀλαροδίοι) — древний народ, населявший Армянское нагорье, обитавший в долине реки Аракса. Упоминаются Геродотом как данники державы Ахеменидов в составе XVIII округа (вместе с саспирами). Алародии участвовали в экспедиции персов в Грецию в V в. до н.э. вместе с саспирами. Их ополчением предводительствовал Масистий, сын Сиромитры. Геродот подчёркивает, что их вооружение напоминало вооружение колхов (кинжалы, копья, кожаные щиты и деревянные шлемы) Впоследствии были ассимилированы армянами. Некоторые исследователи отождествляют алародиев с урартийцами, после падения Ванского царства оставшимися жить преимущественно в районе озера Ван. (ru)
