Psammetichos I

Japanese: プサンメティコス[1世](英語表記)Psammetichos I
Psammetichos I
The first king of the 26th (Sais) dynasty of ancient Egypt. Reigned from 663 to 609 BC. Son of Neco, a nobleman of Sais, the sanctuary of the goddess Neith in Lower Egypt. At first, he was a puppet of the Assyrian Empire, but later he gained complete independence, wiped out the Ethiopian (Kash) forces from Egypt, suppressed the power of the feudal lords, and unified the whole country, bringing the last glory and prosperity of the Egyptians to Egypt. However, because he used many Greek and Carian mercenaries to achieve this, they continued to occupy key military positions even after the political situation stabilized, and he was forced to make Naucratis a free port for the Greeks.

古代エジプト第26(サイス)王朝初代の王。在位,前663ころ‐前609年ころ。下エジプトの,ネイト女神の聖地であったサイスの豪族ネコの子。初めアッシリア帝国の傀儡(かいらい)であったが,のち完全に独立,エチオピア(カッシュ)の勢力をエジプトから一掃し,また諸侯の力を抑えて全土を統一,エジプト人による最後の栄光と繁栄とをエジプトにもたらした。しかし,このためにギリシア人やカリア人の傭兵を多く用いたので,政局安定後も彼らは軍の枢要の位置を占め,またナウクラティスをギリシア人のための自由港とせざるをえなかった。
