Eucratides I

Eucratides I seized the throne of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, overthrowing the Euthydemid dynasty. His rise to power likely involved a coup or civil war.

Eucratides I led a campaign into the Indus region, conquering territories from the Indo-Greek king Menander I. This expanded the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom to its largest extent.

Eucratides I besieged and captured the city of Demetrias, a key Indo-Greek stronghold. This victory solidified his control over the western part of the Indo-Greek territories.

Eucratides I was assassinated by his own son (possibly Eucratides II or Heliocles I) while returning from a campaign. This act plunged the kingdom into civil war.
