Parmis (Old Persian: (H)uparviyā, Elamite: Uparmiya) was a Persian princess, the only daughter of Bardiya (Smerdis),[1] son of Cyrus the Great.[2]
Once Darius the Great seized the Achaemenid thrones, he married two daughters (Atossa and Artystone) of Cyrus the Great, then later married Parmis. Parmis bore him a son called Ariomardus.[3]
