Gobryas (Old Persian: 𐎥𐎢𐎲𐎽𐎢𐎺; lived in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE) was the son of Darius I of Persia and his wife, Artystone.[1][2][3] As a son of Darius I, Gobryas was a half brother of Xerxes I, who would succeed Darius as the Achaemenid King. Gobryas would later lead the Lygians, Mariandynis, and Syrians that were apart of Xerxes's army during his invasion of Greece.[1][2]
