She was a Greek princess, given in marriage to Emperor Chandragupta Maurya as part of a peace treaty with Seleucus Nicator around 303 BCE. Her name is lost to history, but her influence can be traced through art, diplomacy, and the cosmopolitan culture of Mauryan Pataliputra. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the life and legacy of the Yavana queen who brought Hellenistic ideas to the Mauryan court. We examine the treaty that sealed the alliance, the Greeks who stayed in India as settlers and diplomats like Megasthenes, and the fusion of Greek and Indian artistic styles at the court. We also discuss the role of royal women in Mauryan politics, the diplomatic marriages that shaped empires, and the archaeological evidence for Greeks living in the Mauryan heartland. Finally, we reflect on what the silence around this queen tells us about how history remembers women, especially foreign women, in ancient times. #YavanaPrincess #GreekQueenIndia #ChandraguptaMaurya #SeleucusNicator #Megasthenes #MauryanEmpire #Pataliputra #HellenisticIndia #DiplomaticMarriage #GreekInfluence #AncientIndia #WomenInHistory #RoyalWomen #IndoGreek #History #FexingoHistory #SouthAsia #LostVoices Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
