Kotys I (King of Traces)

-

Kotys I (gr .: Κότυς, Ktytys) (d. 359 p.n.) - king of Thracian Odrys from 384 or 383 p.n.e. Probably the son of Seutes II, the so-called king. "Lower Odrys Kingdom".

He was born in Seatsa I. He was succeeded by the murder of his predecessor Hebryzelmis, king of the Odrys, in the years 387-384 / 83. The Book of Suda reported that his reign lasted twenty-four years. From around 364, he changed his attitude towards the Athenians, becoming their enemy. He was arguing with them about the Chersonez tract. He sought help from Charidemus, the Athenian leader. He convinced him to go to his service. He also took valuable help from another Athenian leader, Ifikrates. He gave him one of his daughters to wife. He took part in the fight against his homeland.

In 360 Kotys captured Sestos and threatened the cities of Krithote and Elayos, the last Athenian towns on Chersonesos. Kotysa was killed a year later, in 359. The killers were Peithon and Heraklejdes (citizens of Ajnos, a Greek city in Thrace). They made a coup during a feast in his palace, under the pretext that he had harmed their father. Upon arriving in Athens, they were declared honorary citizens of the city for the deed and rewarded with golden wreaths. After the death of Kotys I, there was a fight for the throne. Athens supported Kersobleptes, son of Kotys, another candidate for the throne. This confusion caused the division of the kingdom into three parts. Kersobleptes received eastern territories, Amadokos II central land between Hebros and Nestos, and Berisades areas west of Nestos. Bibliography
