context_page_description: The Greco-Bactrian Kingdom was, along with the Indo-Greek Kingdom, the easternmost part of the Hellenistic world, covering Bactria and Sogdiana in Central Asia from 256 to 125 BC. It was centered on the north of present-day Afghanistan. The expansion of the Greco-Bactrians into present-day eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan from 180 BC established the Indo-Greek Kingdom, which was to last until around AD 10.
context_section_description: Territories of Bactria, Sogdiana, Ferghana, Arachosia:
  Euthydemus I (reigned c. 223-c. 200 BC) Overthrew Diodotus II. Coins
  The descendants of the Greco-Bactrian king Euthydemus invaded northern India around 190 BC. Their dynasty was probably thrown out of Bactria after 170 BC by the new king Eucratides, but remained in the Indian domains of the empire at least until the 150s BC.
  Demetrius I (reigned c. 200–180 BC) Son of Euthydemus I. Greco-Bactrian king, and conqueror of India. Coins
  The territory won by Demetrius was separated between western and eastern parts, ruled by several sub-kings and successor kings:
  Territory of Bactria
  Euthydemus II (c. 180 BC), probably a son of Demetrius. Coins
  Antimachus I (possibly c. 185–170 BC), brother of Demetrius. Defeated by usurper Eucratides. Coins
  Territories of Paropamisadae, Arachosia, Gandhara, Punjab
  Pantaleon (190s or 180s BC) Possibly another brother and co-ruler of Demetrius I.
  Agathocles (c. 190–180 BC) Yet another brother? Coins
  Apollodotus I (reigned c. 180–160 BC) A fourth brother?
  Antimachus II Nikephoros (160–155 BC)
  Demetrius II (155–150 BC) Coins
  Menander (reigned c. 155–130 BC).  Legendary for the size of his Kingdom, and his support of the Buddhist faith. It is unclear whether he was related to the other kings, and thus if the dynasty survived further.Coins
  Followed by Indo-Greek kings in northern India.
