Phaedymia (or Phaedyme, Phædima; Greek: Φαιδύμη) was the daughter of Otanes, a Persian noble mentioned in the Histories of Herodotus. [1] She was married in turn to Cambyses II, Gaumata (False Smerdis) and Darius I. [2]
Darius I married Otanes' daughter Phaedymia while Otanes married a sister of Darius, who gave birth to Amestris. When Darius died in 486 BC, Amestris was married to the crown prince, Xerxes. Herodotus describes Amestris as a cruel despot:
According to Herodotus, Otanes, the brother of Cassandane note (wife of Cyrus, nother of Cambyses and the real Smerdis), was the first to become suspicious of the false Smerdis. note From his daughter Phaedymia, who was married to the king, he learned that Smerdis was in reality a Magian.
Amestris or Amastris: wife of the Persian king Xerxes, mother of king Artaxerxes I. Her reputation among Greek historians is very bad. Achaemenid woman (or a beardless prince) Amestris was the daughter of Otanes, one of the seven conspirators who killed the Persian rebel king Gaumâta (22 September 522 BCE).

Herodotus tells us that Cambyses married Phaedymia, the daughter of Otanes. This Otanes may have been the brother of Cassandane, who was (still according to Herodotus) Cambyses' mother. If Herodotus is right, Cambyses' queen was also his cousin.
