Amphicrates
text:
Amphicrates was an early king of Samos. He is known only from a brief reference in Herodotus and his date is much disputed. Herodotus mentions Amphicrates in passing to explain why the people of Aegina enslaved a group of Samian exiles around 525 BC. He says that they did this because they remembered that King Amphicrates of Samos had led an attack on Aegina in which he "did the Aeginetans great harm and suffered great harm in turn." There have been three proposals for the context of this event.
