Cetriporis
Cetriporis (), also known as Ketriporis, an anthroponym from the Thracian language, was a king of the Odrysian kingdom in western Thrace from c. 357-356 BC, in succession to his father Berisades, with whom he may already have been a co-ruler. He is most known for entering into an alliance with Athens, the Illyrians, and the Paeonians against Philip II of Macedonia in the summer of 356 BC, negotiated by his brother Mononius. As king, Cetriporis controlled only part of the Odrysian kingdom, the remainder being in the possession of the rival Odrysian kings Amadokus II and Kersebleptes. After his father died, Cetriporis and his brothers were in conflict with Kersebleptes, who had declared war and plotted with the mercenary general Charidemus to eliminate Cetriporis and Amadokus as rival kings. Around the same time he was part of the coalition against Philip; however, Philip defeated the coalition between 356 and 352 BC. Cetriporis himself appears to have been subjected by Philip ...

Cersobleptes
Cersobleptes (, also found in the form Cersebleptes, Kersebleptēs) was the son of Cotys I, king of the Odrysians in Thrace, on whose death in September 360 BC he inherited the throne. Early troubles From the beginning of his reign, however, Cersobleptes was beset by problems. He inherited a conflict with the Athenians and with the rebel former royal treasurer Miltokythes from his father, and then there appeared two rivals for the throne, Berisades and Amadocus II. Despite the continued able service of Cersobleptes' brother-in-law, the Euboean adventurer Charidemus, Cersobleptes was forced to make peace with Athens and with his rivals, recognizing them as autonomous rulers of parts of Thrace by 357 BC. The area controlled by Cersobleptes was apparently to the east of the rivers Tonzos and Hebrus, with Amadocus II to his west, and Berisades even farther west, on the border with Macedon. Charidemus had taken on a prominent role in the contests and negotiations with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Berisades
Berisades () was a ruler in Thrace, who inherited, in conjunction with Amadocus II and Cersobleptes, the dominions of the Thracian king Cotys on the death of the latter in 360 BC. Berisades was probably a son of Cotys and a brother of the other two princes. He may have ruled in conjunction with his son Cetriporis, who entered into an alliance with Athens and the Illyrians against Philip II of Macedonia in 358 BC; Philip defeated the coalition in 353 BC. Berisades' reign was short, as he was already dead in 352 BC; and on his death Cersobleptes declared war against his children. The Birisades (Bιρισάδης) mentioned by Dinarchus is probably the same as Paerisades, the king of the Bosporan Kingdom, who must not be confounded with the Berisades mentioned above. The Berisades, king of Pontus, whom Stratonicus, the player on the lyre, visited, must also be regarded as the same as Parisades.

Demosthenes
Demosthenes (; ; ; 384 – 12 October 322 BC) was a Greek statesman and orator in ancient Athens. His orations constitute a significant expression of contemporary Athenian intellectual prowess and provide insight into the politics and culture of ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. Demosthenes learned rhetoric by studying the speeches of previous great orators.
