Intaphrenes
Intaphrenes (Old Persian: 𐎻𐎡𐎭𐎳𐎼𐎴𐎠, romanized: Vindafarnâ, Ancient Greek: Ἰνταφρένης, Ἰνταφέρνης, romanized: Intaphrénēs, Intaphérnēs) (died c. 520 BCE) was one of the seven who in September 522 BCE helped Darius I usurp the throne from Bardiya, following Bardiya’s alleged usurping of the throne of the Achaemenid Empire from Cambyses II. Intaphrenes then became Darius's bow carrier, a high position in which he is depicted in the Behistun Inscription.
