c. 674–657 BC) was an ancient Egyptian prince who rebelled against the Assyrians during their short-lived occupation of Egypt.
He was the son of Prince Bakennefy of Athribis, mentioned in the annals of Assyrian king Assurbanipal, and his grandfather was Prince Padiaset of Athribis, mentioned on the Stele of Piye.
Inaros may have played a major role in this battle, which would have allowed him to acquire the profile of a national hero.
[3] Strabo indicates that Psammetichus I, then a simple king of Saïs, defeated a certain Inarôs who was probably the prince of Athribis Inaros I with the help of Milesian mercenaries.
In any case, in the 8th year of his reign (around 657 BCE), Psammetichus was master of Lower Egypt.
