Person
Zenicetes
Zenicetes was a pirate chief who controlled Olympus, Phaselis and other places on the Lycian coast of southern Anatolia in the early 1st century BCE. When the Roman general Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus captured his strongholds, around 77 BCE, Zenicetes set fire to his house and died in the flames, as Strabo records.
