Spithridates Frataraka

Spithridates Frataraka (330 - 258 BC) was a member of the prominent Frataraka family. He showed promise as military commander due to his creative thought, but was held back in his career due to his sarcastic nature. He married Damaspia Demadid and had a son by her names Nikephoros.

While often passed over for military command, he was given command of a detachment of cavalry for the Seleukid-Atropatene War. During the war he was tasked with bringing Media under Seleukid control.
