text: # Rhodogune (daughter of Artaxerxes II)
  
  Rhodogune was a Persian princess from the Achaemenid dynasty, who was a daughter of the King of Kings Artaxerxes II (r. 404–358 BC) and one of his concubines.
  
  Following the Battle of Cunaxa in 401 BC, she was given by her father in marriage to the Bactrian nobleman Orontes I, who was the satrap of the satrapy of Armenia. Their marriage is mentioned in one of the stelae of Mount Nemrut, erected by their descendant Antiochus I of Commagene (r. 70–31 BC) in order to highlight the Commagenian claim to Achaemenid ancestry.
