Apollophanes of Cyzicus

Apollophanes (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλοφάνης) of Cyzicus was connected by friendship with the Persian satrap Pharnabazus II, and afterwards formed a similar connexion with Agesilaus II. Soon after this, Pharnabazus requested him to persuade Agesilaus to meet him, which was done accordingly.[1][2] This happened in 396 BCE, shortly before the withdrawal of Agesilaus from the satrapy of Pharnabazus.
