Libya was a satraphy of the Achaemenid Empire according to Daiva's affirmation of King Darius I of Persia Naqshe Rustam and King Serse I of Persia. Second Herodotus was part of the sixth district, which also included Cyrene, a Greek colony in Libya. When King Cambise II of Persia conquered Egypt, King Cirene, Arcesilao III, deployed from the Persian side. When he was killed while trying to maintain power, Queen Feretima invited the Persians to seize Cyrene. Egypt's satyr Aryandes accepted and when the conquest was complete, a puppet king, Batt IV, was placed on the throne of Cyrene. It is possible that Cirene may have gained independence during the rebellion of Egypt in 404 BC According to others, the Achemenid lost control of the region during the conquests of Alexander the Great.
