Everything about Hakor totally explained
Hakor, or
Akoris, was the
Pharaoh of
Egypt from
393 BC to
380 BC. Hakor overthrew his predecessor
Psammuthes and falsely proclaimed himself to be the grandson of
Nepherites I, founder of the
29th Dynasty, on his monuments in order to legitimise his kingship. While Hakor ruled Egypt for only 13 years, his reign is important for the enormous amount of buildings which he constructed and for his extensive restoration work on the monuments of his royal antecedents.
Reign
Early in his reign, Hakor revolted against his overlord, the
Persian King
Artaxerxes. In 390 BC, he concluded a tripartite alliance with
Evagoras, king of
Cyprus, and
Athens. This alliance led Persia to begin supporting
Sparta in the
Corinthian War, which eventually led to the ending of that war by the
Peace of Antalcidas in 387/6 BC. In it, Artaxerxes II proclaimed his authority over the cities of Asia Minor and Cyprus gave full autonomy to the Greek city states of mainland Greece as long as they didn't make war on him.
After the end of that war, Persia turned its attention to Egypt, but Hakor, supported by the Athenian general
Chabrias, held them off in a three year war between 385 and 383 BC. Hakor died in 380 BC and was succeeded by his son
Nepherites II, but Nepherites was overthrown by
Nectanebo I within a year, thus ending the dynasty.
