Aryenis
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Aryenis of Lydia was, according to Herodotus, the daughter of King Alyattes of Lydia and the sister of King Croesus of Lydia.[1]
Family
Aryenis was also the Queen consort of Astyages, King of Media. She was given in marriage to Astyages to seal a treaty between Cyaxares of Media and Alyattes II of Lydia, following the Battle of the Eclipse.[2][3]
Herodotus does not clearly identified her as the mother of Mandane[4] and there is speculation that Mandane (the wife of Cambyses I of Anshan) may have been born to an earlier wife of Astyages.[5]
