  Diodotus Tryphon
Diodotus Tryphon was king of the Seleucid kingdom of Syria.
As a general of the army, he promoted the claims of the infant son of Alexander Balas, but then in 142 deposed and killed the child and himself seized power in Palestine where Demetrius II was unpopular for his oppressive treatment of the Jews.
However, internal strife led in 143 to the establishment of Hasmonean rule, and in 138 Diodotus was attacked and defeated in Antioch by Antiochus VII of Side.

Diodotus argues that the question of right and wrong, either in moral or legal terms, is irrelevant to the issue at hand.
The ends of Diodotus' argument are just, but the means by which he is obliged to achieve them are cynical; in order to safeguard moral decency, he is reduced to using the language of self-interest and calculation.
And so, Diodotus achieves what is just, but the means by which he does so are both a reflection and reinforcement of the debasement of political life and discourse in Athens.

Diodotus' speech is stylistically interesting in a number of ways.
On one level, Diodotus is advancing a magnificent social- psychological statement about the inevitability of revolution: hope and passion drive men and cities in the empire to error.
For it is only in the complex and involuted language of Diodotus' speech that the meaning, the notion of the potential equivalence between judges and judged, the subtle reflections of Diodotus on injustice - becomes evident.

The Greco-Bactrians were a dynasty of Greek kings who controlled Bactria and Sogdiana, an area comprising todays northern Afghanistan and parts of Central Asia, the easternmost area of the Hellenistic world, from 250 to 125 BCE.
Coin depicting the Greco-Bactrian king Euthydemus (230-200 B.C.) Euthydemus was allegedly a native of Magnesia and possible Satrap of Sogdiana, who overturned the dynasty of Diodotus of Bactria and became a Greco-Bactrian king in about 230 BC according to Polybius.
Polybius (ca 203 BC - 120 BC) was a Greek historian of the Mediterranean world, especially the rise of the Roman Republic, which he attributed to Roman fitness and to the excellence of Roman civic and military institutions.

Diodotus enters history in 427 B.C., just long enough to rescue the Mytilenians, a people who rebelled from the Athenian empire and lost, from genocidal massacre.
Classicists have spilt barrel upon barrel of pedantic ink on the Mytilene debate, and the usual interpretation is that Cleon, arguing from justice, demands slaughter, while Diodotus, arguing from necessity, calls for leniency.
The irony is that Diodotus, in rejecting revenge and embracing self-interest, arrives at the more just alternative.

DIODOTUS, the satrap of Bactria-Sogdiana, who revolted against his Seleucid soverign Antiochus II (q.v.) and proclaimed himself king, thus laying the foundation of the Graeco-Bactrian kingdom.
In the first group, while keeping his sovereign's name, Diodotus introduced his own portrait instead of the portrait of Antiochus II, and replaced the most common Seleucid reverse type, Apollo seated on the Omphalus, by a full-length figure of a thundering Zeus with an eagle at his feet.
It is evident that Diodotus, by minting them, took the final step to declare openly his independence.

 [1999: November] Re: Diodotus Atheniensis
Ultimately, Ostwald concludes that we can only guess at who Diodotus really was, and offers a few half-hearted, and inconclusive, conjectures (a colleague of Paches at the siege of Myteline, a tribute collector).
In my opinion, Diodotus' identity is tied up with the issue of the veracity of Thucydides' speeches, which of course has a vast literature all its own.
This does not preclude the possibility that a debate actually took place; it only suggests that Thucydides has presented the debate in terms that are much more polarized, simplified and filtered than may have been the case.

 Agathocles of Bactria - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Agathocles of Bactria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Agathocles issued a series of "pedigree" dynastic coins, probably with the intent to advertize his lineage and legitimize his rule, linking him to Alexander the Great, the Seleucid king Antiochus II, the founder of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom Diodotus, Euthydemus,Pantaleon, and Demetrius.
The pedigree coinage has been seen as a token of his ancestry, but a critical view might be considered.
Finally, the association with Alexander was a standard move for usurpers in the hellenistic world, such as the pseudo-Seleucids Alexander Balas and the Syrian general Diodotus Tryphon.

According to tradition, the first ruler of the Parthians and founder of the Parthian empire was Arsaces I,who had been a governor under Diodotus, king of the Bactrian Greeks, and who revolted and fled westward to establish his own kingdom.
By 200 BC Arsaces's successors were firmly established along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea.
The Parthians took encouragement from Diodotus' success and in 247 B.C. rose against Andragoras, satrap of Parthia for Antichus II Theos (261-247 B.C.).

But after nearly a century of Macedonian Greek rule by Alexander and his Seleucid successors, the nearly continuous war with Egypt weakened the Seleucids to the point that Diodotus of Bactria revolted and declared himself king circa 253 B.C. (Justin xli, 4.
Strabo (xi, 515) says the first Arsaces was a Scythian man with the semi-nomadic Parni tribe, a part of the Dahi, nomads who lived along the Ochus (Tejend or lower Oxus) River, who invaded and conquered Parthia.
Strabo also mentions those who claim Arsaces was a Bactrian who escaped from Diodotus after a failed revolt.
