Kition, on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, was governed by a Phoenician dynasty throughout the fifth century BC, and Baalmelek I ruled during one of the island's most turbulent stretches — the decades following the Persian suppression of the Ionian Revolt and the concurrent Greek efforts to dislodge Persia from Cyprus entirely. The Delian League's Cypriot campaigns under Cimon culminated in his death at the siege of Kition around 450 BC, a failed operation that effectively ended Athenian ambitions on the island.
