The Greeks in Bactria and India c10.s7.16

c10.s7.16

³ In Philostratus’ *Life of Apollonius* II, 32, Gondophares himself is made an Indian who talks Greek and reads the *Heracleidae* of Euripides. Any Parthian king might have known Greek; but Philostratus’ story was merely invented for the sake of Apollonius’ remark, II, 33, about the ‘return of the Heracleidae’.
