Demetrius II, a descendant of Euthydemus, besieged the usurper Eucratides although being repelled various times. Siege and AftermathThe year before, Eucratides had usurped the power in Greco-Bactria while one of its rulers, Demetrius II, was conquering parts of northern India. Demetrius then made his way back into Bactria and besieged Eucratides.[1] at the site of Eucratideia. Demetrius had an army supposedly numbering 60,000 troops,[2] although this is unlikely. Eucratides however, against overwhelming odds, managed to repel various times the Indo-Greek forces with a small garrison of 300 men.[3] After the siege had endured five months, he managed to escape into India and subjugated most of the northwestern parts.[4] References1. ^{{cite book|url=http://www.attalus.org/translate/justin7.html#41.6|title=Philippic Histories|quote=when he was besieged by Demetrius king of the Indians}} {{coord missing|Afghanistan}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Eucratideia, Siege of}}2. ^{{cite book|url=http://www.attalus.org/translate/justin7.html#41.6|title=Philippic Histories|quote=a force of sixty thousand enemies}} 3. ^{{cite book|url=http://www.attalus.org/translate/justin7.html#41.6|title=Philippic Histories|quote=with a garrison of only three hundred soldiers, he repulsed, by continual sallies...}} 4. ^{{cite book|url=http://www.attalus.org/translate/justin7.html#41.6|title=Philippic Histories|quote=Having accordingly escaped, after a five months' siege, he reduced India under his power. }} 5 : Greco-Bactrian Kingdom|Military history of Afghanistan|169 BC|160s BC conflicts|Sieges of the Hellenistic period |
