		Apollodotus, seemingly a relative of Demetrius, led the invasion to the south, while Menander, one of the generals of Demetrius, led the invasion to the east.
		Around 125 BCE the Greco-Bactrian king Heliocles, son of Eucratides, was probably killed during the invasion and the Greco-Bactrian kingdom proper ceased to exist.
		Some of the earlier coins of king Apollodotus I directly associate the elephant with Buddhist symbolism, such as the stupa hill surmounted by a star, also seen, for example on the coins of the Mauryan Empire or those of the later Kuninda kingdom.

	Milinda
		Menander is one of the few Bactrian kings mentioned by antique authors, among them Apollodotus of Artemita, who claims that he was an even greater conqueror than Alexander the Great.
		Guesses among historians are that he was either a nephew or a former general of the Indo-Bactrian king Demetrius, but his predecessor in India seems to have been the king Apollodotus.
		Menander was the first king to strike coins with legends in both Greek and native Sanskrit; according to tradition he also embraced the Buddhist faith, as described in the Milinda dialogues, a classical Buddhist text of the discussions between the king and a wise man.

	Eucratides I
		It is unclear whether he was a Bactrian official who raised a rebellion, or, according to some scholars, a cousin of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes who was trying to regain the Bactrian territory.
		He was challenged by other contemporaries Greek kings such as Antimachus I and Apollodotus, Antacidas and Plato.
		In the west the Parthian king Mithradates I began to enlarge his kingdom and attacked Eucratides; he succeeded in conquering two provinces between Bactria and Parthia, called by Strabo the country of Aspiones and Turiua.

		Pantaleon reigned some time between 190 BCE - 180 BCE and is one of the most enigmatic of the Greek kings in Bactria and India.
		He was a younger contemporary or successor of the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius, and is sometimes believed to have been his brother and/or subking.
		He was the first Greek king to strike Indian coins, peculiar irregular bronzes which suggests he had his base in Arachosia and Gandhara and wanted support from the native population.

	Apollodotus II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apollodotus II (reigned circa 80-65 BCE) was an Indo-Greek king who ruled in the western and eastern parts of Punjab.
		Greek kings were usually restrictive with such boastful titles, (it was sparsely used even by the much mightier Seleucid kings) and though Apollodotus II was one of the more important Indo-Greek kings, the size of his kingdom did by no means justify any imperial ambition.
		Apollodotus II had to follow suit; the mere title King would have hinted that he was much inferior to Maues, and thus he took a title which exaggerated those of earlier Indo-Greek kings but moderated the Scythian king's.

		A 2nd century BC relief from a Buddhist stupa in Bharhut, in eastern Madhya Pradesh (today at the Indian Museum in Calcutta), represents a foreign soldier with the curly hair of a Greek and the royal headband with flowing ends of a Greek king, and may be a depiction of Menander.
		Consistently with this perspective, the actual depiction of the Buddha would be a later phenomenon, usually dated to the 1st century, emerging from the sponsorship of the syncretic Kushan Empire and executed by Greek, and, later, Indian and possibly Roman artists.

		He is one of the few Bactrian kings mentioned by Greek authors, among them Apollodorus of Artemita, quoted by Strabo, who claims that the Greeks from Bactria were even greater conquerors than Alexander the Great, and that Menander was one of the two Bactrian kings, with Demetrius, who extended their power farthest into India:
		A.Cunningham and W.W.Tarn claim that the royal profile is that of an older man, and attribute this coinage in Eastern Punjab worshops." (Bopearachchi, "Monnaies Gréco-Bactriennes et Indo-Grecques", p108, translated from the French original), and this has been associated to his supposed conversion to Buddhism as described in the Milinda Panha.
		In these early coins also the title adopted for the future king Strato on the obverse is "Maharajasa tratarasa dhramikasa Stratasa" ("King Strato, saviour and follower of the dharma"), apparently the combination of both titles which had been held by Menander:

		The clearest examples of Hellenistic art are found in the coins of the Greco-Bactrian kings of the period, such as Demetrius I of Bactria.
		He was king and saviour of India, as confirmed by his successors King Apollodotus I and Menander I, who were officially described as BASILEOS SOTHROS "Saviour King" in the bilingual Greek and Kharoshthi legends of their coins.
		Their coins however suggest a lack of artistic sophistication: the representations of they kings, such as Kanishka, tend to be crude (lack of proportion, rough drawing), and the image of the Buddha is an assemblage of a Hellenistic Buddha statue with feet grossly represented and spread apart in the same fashion as the Kushan king.

	Greco-Bactrian Kingdom:
		The Greco-Bactrian Kingdom was founded around 250 BCE when the Seleucid military governor of Bactria, Sogdiana and Margiana, named Diodotus (Theodotos), wrestled independence for his territory from the Seleucid ruler Antiochus II, who was embroiled in a war against Ptolemaic Egypt:
		Soon after, the ruler of neighbouring Parthia, the former satrap and self-proclaimed king Andragoras, was eliminated by Arsaces, leading to the rise of the Parthian Empire.

	Demetrius II of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Justin's Demetrius may have been a relative of the Indian king Apollodotus I or a fugitive prince of the Euthydemid dynasty.
		However, the king of Justin's quote is not easily reconciled with the numismatical evidence, and views are divided as for how to interpret the various coinage series bearing the name Demetrius.
		Either Demetrius II was not king of India but Bactria, or the account of the war is mixed up, or the king's name is wrong, Justin having confused the name of another Indo-Greek king with that of the legendary Demetrius I. The Indo-Greek king Apollodotus I would have suited well in with the description.

		Although the inscription lacks any indication of association with a particular era or king, Fussman suggests that it is year 24 in the reign of Eukratides, whose reign he dates from 172 BC, and asserts that this dating system coincides 'exactement' with the era he has postulated for dating the Jihonika inscription.
		He considers but rejects the idea that the date of this new inscription could be linked to his Eukratides Era because the coins of that king are not found in the vicinity, so suggests that it should be the era of another Greek king.
		The Unknown Era's association with the kings Vima I Tak[to] and Vima II Kadphises suggests that it should be recognized as the era of two early Kushan inscriptions found at Mathura.
