Mithrobuzanes
Mithrobuzanes († 334 BC ) was a Persian governor ( satrap ) in the 4th century BC.
Mithrobuzanes was at the time of Darius III. Satrap of Cappadocia near the Tauros (Southern Cappadocia ). Ariarathes I , the satrap of Northern Cappadocia, may have been his father. 334 BC Mithrobuzanes commanded a part of the troops in the battle of Granicus against Alexander the great , in which he was killed.
The victorious Alexander appointed the local Sabiktas as satrap of southern Cappadocia in his place , but he could not hold on to this office.
