	Iranica.com - HELIOCLES I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The bilingual (in Greek and Prakrit) coins in the name of Heliocles now are attributed with certainty to a second Heliocles, who reigned over the territories south of the Hindu Kush.
		In contrast to the Greco-Bactrian predecessors, Heliocles I's power was limited to the south and southwest territories of Bactria.
		Far from being a chance coincidence, the fact that the issues stop with Eucratides I's reign is surely explained by one event, the nature of which became clear through the excavation: a sudden catastrophe which struck the city, burning down the palace and bringing the existence of the city to an end.

	Eucratides - LoveToKnow 1911
		BACTRIA), he is called "the great King Eucratides." On one his portrait and name are associated on the reverse with those of Heliocles and Laodice; Heliocles was probably his son, and the coin may have been struck to celebrate his marriage with Laodice, who seems to have been a Seleucid princess.
		Sidetes tried once more to restore the Seleucid dominion in 130, Phraates allied himself with the Scythians (Justin 42, 1.1); but after his decisive victory in 129 he was attacked by them and fell in the battle.
		The changed state of affairs is shown by the numerous coins of Heliocles; while his predecessors maintained the Attic standard, which had been dominant throughout the Greek east, he on his later coins passes over to a native silver standard, and his bronze coins became quite barbarous.

		He cannot be the same Heliocles who was Eucratides's father, since the latter wore no diadem and was never a king at all.
		I think, upon the testimony of other coins, that the verdict is "not guilty." The killer was probably a younger son, named Plato of all things, the only Bactrian king of this period who decorated his coins with a chariot scene that seems to boast of the desecration of Eucratides's body.
		Yet not one Heliocles coin was recovered from the Greek city at Ai Khanoum, which was therefore certainly destroyed before Heliocles became king of Bactria.

	bactria - NumisWiki, The Collaborative Numismatics Project
		In all probability the word υιος is to be understood as the connecting link between the obverse and reverse legends of these coins, the inference being that Heliocles and Laodice were the father and mother of Eucratides.
		Von Sallet, however, conjectures that Eucratides caused these pieces to be struck on the occasion of a marriage of a son of his, by name Heliocles, with a princess named Laodice, who may have been a grand-daughter of Antiochus III of Syria.
		In this king’s reign, or in that of a second Heliocles, the Attic standard was superseded by a native silver standard, of which the stater weighs 152 grs.

	Heliokles II
		Heliocles II is thought to have been one of the latter Indo-Greek kings,whose reign is placed around year 100 BC, one of the successors to the first Heliocles I (ca 145-125 BC), son of Eucratides.
		Heliocles II seems to have been the successor of Strato I in Punjab - the two share several coinmarks.
		This seemningly paradox might be explained as follows: In the years before 100 BC the eastern Indo-Greek kingdom was apparently shaken by the loss of the area of Mathura and its king Strato I disappears during this time.

		Another branch of the Greeks, who advanced from Heart and Kandahar, are descended from Eucratides I, whose coins have been found in Srikap.
		Eucratides was followed by Plato, Heliocles, Apollodotus and Antialcidas(140-130 B.C.).
		The latter’s ambassador Helioder calls himself as a "Greek from x Taxila." However, it is Menander who consolidated Greek rule in Gandhara and who is well known in Buddhist literature.

	Heliokles I
		From 130 BC a nomadic people, the Yuezhi, started to invade Bactria from the north and we could assume that Heliocles was killed in battle during this invasion.
		Even if this was the end of the original Greco-Bactrian kingdom, the Greeks continued to rule northern India to the end of the 1st century BC, under the Indo-Greek Kingdom.
		Several later Indo-Greek king, including Heliokles II, struck coins which could be associated with the dynasty.

	Chatter - Chicago Coin Club - December, 2005
		Until the discovery of this overstrike, it was universally held that Heliocles II ruled before Hermaios, at least a decade earlier and as much as fifty years earlier in some estimates.
		Actually, the only evidence for this was style, the coins of Heliocles II being generally much finer style than Hermaios’ coins, and in the Indo-Greek series, style tends to degenerate over time.
		This coin and others discovered subsequently show Hermaios overstruck bronzes of Heliocles II, showing that he could not be much later.

		Western terrain was lost to Mithradates I of Parthia; Heliocles I took over a shrunken realm north of the Hindu Kush, with areas beyond the Oxus lost to encroaching nomad [p.

		These vast movements of steppe peoples have to be pieced together from archaeological finds and jejune Chinese and western sources.

		In this sequence it is uncertain whether Maues appears, and some indications that the Arachosian rulers, Vonones and his associates, were in control for a time.
		This is implied because the reverse type most prominent on their coinage, a standing Zeus with the thunderbolt characteristic of the Bactrian king Heliocles, appears later in the Pushkalavati series on an issue of Azes I, while in the earlier generation such types were typical of Vonones.
		If, however, Maues did at one time hold Pushkalavati, his naval victory on the Indus may relate to a crossing from east to west near Attock, rather than from west to east near Dera Ismail Khan.
