ššina:
son of Upadarma, rebel leader from Elam, who rose against the Persian king
Darius after the latter had killed the Magian
Gaumâta.
ššina's
rebellion started October [?] 522 and was suppressed almost immediately.
In the Behistun
inscription, Darius wites that ššina was brought to him
in fetters, and that he personally killed him. This was not the end of
the revolt, however, because a new rebel leader continued the struggle,
Martiya.
However, the Elamite population, impressed by Darius' actions, slew ššina's
successor.
The picture shows ššina as he is represented at Behistun.
