EUTHYDEMUS

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 957 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EUTHYDEMUS , a native of
Magnesia
 , who overturned the dynasty of Diodotus of Bactria, and became king of Bactria about 230 B.C. (Polyb. xi. 34;
Strabo
  xi. 515 wrongly makes him the first king). In 208 he was attacked by Antiochus the
Great
 , whom he tried in vain to resist on the shores of the river Arius, the
modern
  Herirud (Polyb. x. 49). The war lasted three years, and was on the whole fortunate for Antiochus. But he saw that he was not able to subdue Bactria and
Sogdiana
 , and so in 206 concluded a peace with Euthydemus, through the mediation of his son Demetrius, in which he recognized him as king (Polyb. xi. 34). Soon afterwards Demetrius (q.v.) began the conquest of
India
 . There exist many coins of Euthydemus; those on which he is called god are struck by the later king
Agathocles
 . Other coins with the name Euthydemus, which show a youthful face, are presumably those of Euthydemus II., who cannot have ruled
long
  and was probably a son of Demetrius. - (ED. M.)
