Apries (Eg. Uahprahet, the sun enlarges his heart), a king of Egypt of the 26th dynasty, the Hophra of the Bible, and the Uaphris of Mane-tho, succeeded his father Psammis (Psamatik II.) about 588 B. C. He invaded Syria, besieged Sidon, and fought a naval battle with the king of Tyre, but failed in his attempt to save Zedekiah from Nebuchadnezzar, who subsequently invaded Egypt. Apries was still more unfortunate in a war against Cyrene, and perished soon after, according to Herodotus, by a revolt of his subjects, who raised Amasis to the throne (about 509 B. C.).
