| 释义 |
Amyntas II (Greek: Ἀμύντας Βʹ) or Amyntas the Little, was the king of Macedonia for a short time, circa 393 BC. Thucydides describes him as a son of Philip, the brother of king Perdiccas II.[2] He first succeeded his father in his appanage in Upper Macedonia, but Perdiccas II wished to deprive Amyntas of the appanage, as he had before endeavoured to wrest it from Philip. This project had however been hindered by the Athenians. In 429 BC Amyntas, aided by Sitalces, king of the Odrysian Kingdom, actively sought to contest with Perdiccas the throne of Macedonia itself; but the latter contrived to obtain a peace agreement through the mediation of Seuthes, the nephew of the Thracian king.[3] Therefore, Amyntas was obliged to content himself with his hereditary principality. He nonetheless became king c.393 after the death of Aeropus II, but he was soon after assassinated by a Elimieotan nobleman named Derdas. He was succeeded by Pausanias, his nephew.[1] References1. ^1 Hoover, Handbook of Coins of Macedon, Part I, p. 295. 2. ^Thucydides, ii. 95. 3. ^Thucydides, ii. 101. Bibliography
