9. History
• Cappadocia was known as Hatti in the late Bronze Age,
and was the homeland of the Hittite power centred at
Hattusa. After the fall of the Hittite Empire, with the
decline of the Syro-Cappadocians (Mushki) after their
defeat by the Lydian king Croesus in the 6th century,
Cappadocia was ruled by a sort of feudal aristocracy,
dwelling in strong castles and keeping the peasants in a
servile condition, which later made them apt for
foreign slavery. It was included in the third Persian
satrapy in the division established by Darius, but
continued to be governed by rulers of its own, none
apparently supreme over the whole country and all
more or less tributaries of the Great King.
