When Achoris died in 360 B.C.E, Nectanebo I ousted his son and assumed control of the throne founding the 30th dynasty. Shortly after taking over, Egypt was attacked by a combined force of Persians and Greeks. The attackers successfully made it across the western side of the Nile delta, but were delayed before they could take Memphis due to mutual distrust. The Egyptian army was then able to counterattack and drive the attack out.
