ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
King of Thrace (ca. 323-281 BC), one of Alexander the Great's successors. He took control of Thrace and gradually extended his dominion to the Hellespont, Macedonia and Asia Minor. He was considered to be capable, but ruthless and not a particularly amiable ruler. He supported the creation and the development of urban centres mainly in Asia Minor. His decision to execute his son Agathocles caused riots in cities of Asia Minor and the intervention of Seleucus I Nikator. |
