Long after Alexander the Great's eastern conquests crumbled, a Greek dynasty held power in the heart of India for nearly two centuries. The Indo-Greek kingdom blended Hellenistic culture with Buddhism, producing some of the world's first anthropomorphic images of the Buddha and a king, Menander I, who converted to Buddhism and debated monks in a dialogue recorded as the Milindapañha. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Greco-Bactrian ruler Demetrius I invaded northern India around 185 BCE, how Menander expanded the realm east to Pataliputra, and how Greek rulers issued bilingual coinage in Greek and Kharosthi script. They also look at the mysterious end of the kingdom — overwhelmed by nomadic Yuezhi invasions and the rising Indo-Scythian power. Along the way, they touch on the legacy of the Indo-Greeks in art, religion, and the very idea of a multicultural empire. #IndoGreekKingdom #MenanderI #DemetriusI #GrecoBactrian #Buddhism #Milindapanha #Hellenism #Yuezhi #IndoScythian #Kharosthi #Bactria #Pataliputra #AlexanderTheGreat #AncientIndia #SilkRoad #History #FexingoHistory #ForgottenEmpires Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
