(), or BARES (Βάρης), a Persian, of the tribe of the Pasargadae, was appointed to the command
of the naval portion of the force which Aryandes, governor of Egypt, sent against the
Barcaeans on the pretext of avenging the murder of Arcesilaus III. [BATTIADAE.] After the capture of Barca (about 512 B. C.), the Persians were allowed to
pass through Cyrene, and Badres was anxious to take the city; but through the refusal of
Amasis, who commanded the land force, the opportunity was lost. (Hdt.
4.167, 203.) This is perhaps the same Badres whom
Herodotus mentions as commanding a portion of the Persian army in the expedition of Xerxes
against Greece. (Hdt. 7.77.)
