Topic: Sitalkes


In the News (Sun 15 Nov 09)

  
  The Story of Sitalkes
Sitalkes proposed to install Amyntas as the new King of Macedonia, while Hagnon was to command the allied Athenian fleet and army.
This was because either (as Thucydides says) the Athenians didn’t expect Sitalkes to fulfil his promise to attack the Chalcidian cities, or because the Athenians were frightened by the size of Sitalkes’ army.
Sitalkes died a few years' later during a battle with a fierce north-western Thracian tribe, the Triballi.

 The Thracian Tomb-Temple at Starosel
Sitalkes had an annual income of 800 talents and ruled from the Danube to the Aegean.
A large silver applique was found in the entrance depicting a fully armed Thracian king with a beard but with no moustaches, riding a horse, and raising a rhyton in one hand.
It is thought that this might be Sitalkes I, the great Thracian king who united Thrace and invaded Macedon with an army of 150,000 men in 429BC.

In 431 BC Sitalkes allied with the Athenians and in the late autumn of 429 BC, in response to an Athenian request for help, attacked Macedonia with 150,000 warriors.
Seuthes (424 - 415 BC) succeeded Sitalkes, but Seuthes was unable to keep the empire intact and Athens encouraged rival Odrysian princes to fight one another so that the Athenians could retain control of the coastal cities, however the kingdom of the Odrysae enjoyed a period of prosperity.

 5th Century Thacian coin found - Ancient Roman Empire Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The coin was unique because it was minted during the ruling of the Thracian king Sitalk.
Coins were minted around the time of Sitalkes' and/or his father Teres (with almost the same motif; forepart of a horse on one side and the eagle snake combo on the back; SEE HERE) so what the heck is the big deal other than the condition seems to be pretty good.
So historians used to think Sitalkes was too busy with territory expansion and conflict to mint coins...

He then when he perceived that which was being done to his hurt and for what reason it was being done, fled for refuge to Thrace; and Octamasades being informed of this, proceeded to march upon Thrace.
And Octamasades agreed to this, and by giving up his own mother's brother to Sitalkes he received his brother Skyles in exchange: and Sitalkes when he received his brother led him away as a prisoner, but Octamasades cut off the head of Skyles there upon the spot.
Thus do the Scythians carefully guard their own customary observances, and such are the penalties which they inflict upon those who acquire foreign customs besides their own.
