Gobryas Frataraka

Gobryas Frataraka (331 - 248 BC) was the Epiproxenos of the Seleukid Empire. A rather lazy and modest person, he wasn't very well suited to his job. He tried to increase his influence at court by befriending Nikanor Seleukid, member of the ruling Seleukid Family. Furthermore he raised his children in the Hellenic fashion to further advance his standing at court.

By 291 BC he got into a serious spat with Antiochos I. Unable to risk more insurrection from the Frataraka family, Seleukos I Nikator forced them to settle their differences. Something they appearently succeeded as, as he remained epiproxenos during Antiochos' reign.

He is a member of the prominent Pasargradi Frataraka family.
