Ardys I

Ardys I was the twenty-second king of Lydia, and the nineteenth king of the Heraclid dynasty; see List of Kings of Lydia. He was succeeded by his son, Alyattes I, according to Herodotus.

He is believed to have reigned from 795 to 759 BC. As such, he reigned when the ancient Olympic Games are traditionally said to have been first convened in Greece.
