About Tiridates
Tiridates was a eunuch in the court of the Achaemenid king Artaxerxes II, described as "the most handsome and attractive man in Asia", and the king's lover. He features in Claudius Aelianus's account of Artaxerxes, in his Varia Historia, but is absent in the accounts of a similar time frame of Xenophon and Plutarch. Scholars generally believe some of the later writers were referencing different, earlier accounts of events that are now lost.
