Boges was a Persian official and military commander, who functioned as governor (hyparchos) of Eion in Thrace (Achaemenid satrapy of Skudra) under the King of Kings Xerxes I (r. 486–465 BC). According to Herodotus, following the Persian defeats at Plataea and Mycale, Boges refused to abandon Eion when it was besieged by the Athenians and Cimon (son of Miltiades) in 476/5. When he perhaps could have surrendered the town and marched out safely, Boges decided to endure till the end, as he wished not to suffer the ignominy of falling into the enemy’s hands. When the provisions of Eion had finally run out during the protracted siege, Boges built a large fire, killed his wife, children, concubines and servants, and threw them into the fire. He then reportedly collected all pieces of silver and g

| - Boges fou governador persa d'Eion a Tràcia quan Xerxes I de Pèrsia va envair Grècia el 480 aC. Va continuar al càrrec fins al 476 aC quan fou assetjat pels atenencs sota Cimó II. Com que no podia defensar la ciutat i no es volia rendir, va matar a la seva dona, fills i família i va incendiar la ciutat, incendi en el qual va morir. (ca)
- Boges (siglo V a. C.) fue un gobernador medo de la ciudad de Eyón, conquistada por Cimón en 477-476 a. C. El rey persa Jerjes consideró cobardes a los gobernadores expulsados por los griegos, excepto a Boges. Cuando se hallaba sitiado por los atenienses y tenía al amparo de una tregua la posibilidad de abandonar la plaza fuerte y regresar a Asia, se negó por temor al que el rey le creyera un cobarde y resistió hasta el límite. Tras degollar a sus hijos, a su esposa, a sus concubinas y sevidores, los arrrojó a una pira. Esparcíó, desde lo alto de la muralla, por el Estrimón todo el oro y toda la plata de la ciudad y se arrojó al fuego. (es)

When the provisions of Eion had finally run out during the protracted siege, Boges built a large fire, killed his wife, children, concubines and servants, and threw them into the fire. He then reportedly collected all pieces of silver and gold that were stored in Eion and threw them into the river Strymon. He then threw himself onto the fire. Boges was highly honored by Xerxes I for his valiance and loyalty, and even Herodotus himself concurred. When Herodotus wrote his Histories in the second half of the fifth century BC, Boges was still praised by the Persians for his deeds. The children of Boges who survived within the Achaemenid Empire were also greatly honoured by Xerxes I. (en)
