Abdemon
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Abdemon (Ancient Greek: Αὐδήμων, gen.: Αὐδήμονος), was the king of Salamis on Cyprus towards the end of the 5th century BC. He was of Phoenician origin and was born either in Tyre[1] or Kition.[2] Around 415 BC, Abdemon deposed the Phoenician ruler of Salamis.[3] Evagoras, who allegedly came from a Greek dynasty (that of Teucer), had to leave the city and went into exile in Soli. However, Evagoras returned in 411 BC with his followers and deposed Abdemon.[4] Some coins of Abdemon have been found.
