Eurysthenes (Pergamon)

Eurysthenes (Greek: Εὐρυσθένης, circa 400 BC) was a descendant of the Spartan king Demaratus.

Coin of Prokles, brother and co-ruler of Eurysthenes, as Dynast of Teuthrania and Halisarna, circa 400-399 BC. Obv: Head of Apollo. Rev: Portrait of Prokles wearing the Persian cap. Letters ΤΕΥ ("TEU", for Teuthrania). Teuthrania, Mysia. Laureate head of Apollo left / Head of Prokles right, wearing Persian headdress.
Location of Pergamon.

After his deposition in 491 BC, Demaratus had fled to Persia, where king Darius I made him ruler of the cities of Pergamon, Teuthrania and Halisarna. About a hundred years later Eurysthenes and his brother Procles reigned over the same cities; their joint rule is at least attested for the year 399 BC.[1]

Notes

  1. Xenophon, Hellenika 3.1.6
gollark: ubq, or something? Troubling.
gollark: Palaiologos appears to have repeatedly denied transparency in various ways, I think talking about "different kinds" of transparency and then just denying that it was a good thing.
gollark: This is an increase in transparency.
gollark: I don't consider any of the staff's operation transparent, since everything gets done over backchannels and then hidden as, apparently, "unnecessary details".
gollark: Ideally there'd be automation for this, but you know, my workflow isn't great.
