Hygiaenon (Ancient Greek: Ὑγιαίνων, romanized: Hygiainon) was an Archon of the Bosporan Kingdom after his predecessor, Leucon II, was slain by his wife Alcathoe in c. 220 BC. Although he was not part of the Spartocid dynasty , he seems to have been a supporter of Camasarye , the heiress and queen of the Bosporan Kingdom.
The Bosporan Kingdom waged a series of wars of expansion in the Cimmerian Bosporus and the surrounding territories from around 438 BC until about 355 BC. Bosporan expansion began after Spartokos I, the first Spartocid (and after whom the dynasty is named) took power and during his seven-year reign, established an aggressive expansionist foreign policy that was followed by his successors.
After gathering a large army and making an alliance with the neighboring barbarians, Eumelos became a claimant to the Bosporan throne. [8] Upon hearing this, Satyrus immediately left Panticapaeum under Prytanis and sallied out against his brother, [ 9 ] cornering him with his baggage wagons in the banks of the river Thatis with Aripharnes.
Bosporan Kingdom — located in eastern Crimea and the Taman Peninsula, on the Black Sea, Strait of Kerch, and Sea of Azov. It was an independent kingdom (438–107 BCE); subject to the Kingdom of Pontus (107–63 BCE); and a Client Kingdom of the Roman Empire (63 BCE – 370 CE).
The resulting Bosporan victory further asserted their control over the Taman peninsula, and paved the way for further expansion of the Bosporan Kingdom. The annexation of Theodosia allowed the Spartocids to use the port for their export of grain to the city-state of Athens, which would prosper under its trade with the Bosporan Kingdom.
