Herodotus describes how Amasis II would eventually cause a confrontation with the Persian armies.

In an attempt to exact revenge for his forced exile, the physician would grow very close with Cambyses and would suggest that Cambyses should ask Amasis for a daughter in marriage in order to solidify his bonds with the Egyptians.

Amasis worrying that his daughter would be a concubine to the Persian king refused to give up his offspring ; Amasis also was not willing to take on the Persian empire so he concocted a trickery in which he forced the daughter of the ex-pharaoh Apries, whom Herodotus explicitly confirms to have been killed by Amasis, to go to Persia instead of his own offspring.

One such figure was Phanes of Halicarnassus, who would later on leave Amasis, for reasons Herodotus does not clearly know but suspects were personal between the two figures.

Amasis would send one of his eunuchs to capture Phanes, but the eunuch is bested by the wise council man and Phanes flees to Persia, meeting up with Cambyses providing advice in his invasion of Egypt.

King Amasis had hoped that Egypt would be able to withstand the threatened Persian attack by an alliance with the Greeks.

Polycrates told Amasis of his good fortune, and Amasis immediately broke off their alliance, believing that such a lucky man would eventually come to a disastrous end.

Then Amasis went to kill his daughter as if he didn't he would be sentenced to hell.

Herodotus relates that under his prudent administration, Egypt reached a new level of wealth ; Amasis adorned the temples of Lower Egypt especially with splendid monolithic shrines and other monuments ( his activity here is proved by existing remains ).

Under Amasis or Ahmose II, Egypt's agricultural based economy reached its zenith.

Amasis seems to have complied by forcing an Egyptian physician into mandatory labor causing him to leave his family behind in Egypt and move to Persia in forced exile.

According to Herodotus, Amasis thought Polycrates was too successful, and advised him to throw away whatever he valued most in order to escape a reversal of fortune.

Amasis shut down the " camps " and moved the Greek soldiers to Memphis where they were employed " to guard him against the native Egyptians.
