- Gaumata abstract "Gaumata (GAUMAATA) or False Smerdis (ψευδὴς Σμέρδις) or Sphendadates (Σφενδαδάτης) (and various other names and aliases) appears in epigraphical and historiographical sources of classical antiquity as a late-6th century BCE Mede who usurped the Achaemenid throne by impersonating Bardiya, the son of Cyrus the Great. The figure appears as 'Gaumata' in the Behistun inscription of Darius I, as '(false) Smerdis' in Herodotus' Histories, and as 'Sphendadates' in the surviving fragments of Ctesias. Gaumata/Sphendadates/Pseudo-Smerdis appears to have reigned for about one year (522 to 521 BCE) at the Achaemenid capital at Susa (Ctesias says seven months).While the primary sources do not agree on the names and many other details, all three portray Gaumata/Pseudo-Smerdis/Sphendadates as an imposter who usurped the throne by posing as one of the sons of Cyrus (II), i.e. as one of the brothers of Cambyses. The sources also agree that Gaumata/Pseudo-Smerdis/Sphendadates is overthrown by Darius and others in a coup d'état, and that Darius then ascends the throne. Most sources (including Darius himself, Herodotus and Ctesias) have Darius as part of a group of seven conspirators. In Greek and Latin sources, Darius subsequently gains kingship by cheating in a contest.In Darius' trilingual Behistun inscription, the prince being impersonated, Bardiya, is named 'Pirtiya' in Elamite, 'Bardiya' in Old Persian, and 'Barziya' in Akkadian. In the Histories, the prince and his imposter have the same name (Smerdis). For Ctesias, Sphendadates poses as 'Tanyoxarces'. Other Greek sources have various other names for the figure being impersonated, including 'Tanoxares', 'Mergis' and 'Mardos'.The evaluation of the primary sources has been cause for much disagreement in modern scholarship. While there is agreement that Darius seized the throne through a coup d'état, there is dissent over whether Gaumata/Pseudo-Smerdis/Sphendadates was in fact an imposter, or whether Darius merely made him out to be one. The key argument against a fabrication is that there is no evidence for it. The key argument for a fabrication is that Darius had reason to invent the story, since he had no particular rights to the throne which he had seized.".
