Strategic Bosporan Victory The Battle of Labrytae (Ancient Greek: Μάχη τῶν Λαβρυτων) was a battle around 380 BC that occurred nearly directly after Octamasades usurped the Sindian throne from his father Hecataeus and attacked and took the city of Labrytae, presumably a city under Bosporan rule.
Tirgatao had escaped and rallied her tribe of Ixomatae and laid fire and sword to both the lands of Hekataios and those of Satyros.
[5] Oktamasades may have been a son of Tirgitao, and therefore usurped the throne from his father presumably shortly after the war had ended with his mother and her tribe.
[9] Upon battling Octamasades, Leucon quickly routed his army, and forced him to flee to Scythia, leaving behind the throne for his father to re-take.
[10] Leucon upon gaining victory, made good on his vow and erected a statue to Phoebus Apollo at Labrytae.
