Changes in Leadership
Persian Empire
In the powerful Persian Empire, a new king took the throne. Artaxerxes III became the ruler, following his father, Artaxerxes II. To make sure his power was strong, he made sure no one else could challenge him.
Greece
In Thessaly, a region in Greece, the ruler of Pherae, Alexander of Pherae, was killed. This happened because his wife asked her brother to do it.
Also in Greece, the land of the Thracian king, Cotys I, was divided. His land was given to his sons, Cersobleptes, Amadocus II, and Berisades.
