Mithradates

Great
  in the war against Rome. In 87 B.c. he was sent to
Greece

Mithradates
 '
fleet
  under Metrophanes and captured the
island
  of Sciathus. Here he was besieged by Sulla, compelled to with-draw into Boeotia, and completely defeated at
Chaeroneia
  (86). A fresh army was sent by Mithradates, but Archelaus was again defeated at
Orchomenus
 , after a two days'
battle
  (85). On the
conclusion of peace, Archelaus, finding that he had incurred the suspicion of Mithradates, deserted to the Romans, by whom
he was well received. Nothing further is known of him. Appian, Mithrid. 30, 49, 56, 64;
Plutarch
