Hydarnes (father of Stateira)

{{Short description|Late 5th-century BC Persian nobleman}} '''Hydarnes''' ({{langx|peo|𐎻𐎡𐎭𐎼𐎴|Vidṛna}}), also known as '''Idernes''', was a Persian nobleman, who was active during the reign of Darius II ({{reign|423|404 BC}}). He was a descendant (perhaps grandson) of Hydarnes the Younger, who was himself the son of Hydarnes, one of the seven Persian conspirators who overthrew the Pseudo-Smerdis. He was the father of several children through his principal consort. His offspring included Tissaphernes, Terituchmes, Stateira, Rhoxane, and two further daughters.{{sfn|Schmitt|2004|pp=588–590}}{{sfn|Llewellyn-Jones|2022}}
