Odrysai

The Odrysai were a Thracian tribe that inhabited the region of Thrace in ancient times. They were known for their military prowess and their ability to form a loose confederation of tribes. The Odrysai were ruled by a king, who was often referred to as the "Odrysian King." The most famous of these kings was Seuthes III, who is known for his alliance with Philip II of Macedon against the Achaemenid Empire.

The Odrysian kingdom was located in the northern part of Thrace, along the Black Sea coast. It was bordered by the Moesian kingdom to the west and the Scythian kingdom to the north. The Odrysian kingdom was known for its rich agricultural lands, which were ideal for growing crops such as wheat and grapes.

The Odrysian kingdom was a member of the Second Athenian League, an alliance of city-states in ancient Greece. The Odrysian kingdom was also a member of the Delian League, an alliance of city-states in ancient Greece that was formed to defend against the Persian Empire.

The Odrysian kingdom was eventually conquered by the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC. The Odrysian kingdom was then incorporated into the Roman province of Moesia. The Odrysian kingdom was later revived as a kingdom in the 4th century AD, but it was eventually conquered by the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century AD.
