Theodorus, Son Of Seleucus
Theodoros ( grc, Θεόδωρος), son of Seleucus and Artemo I was a Ptolemaic governor of Cyprus and admiral in the second century BC. Life Theodorus was named after his maternal grandfather. His mother served in the priestly role of ''kanephoros'' ('basket-bearer') of the deified Arsinoe II in Alexandria in 177/6 BC. He was born before 143 BC, since he dedicated a statue of the officers of the Ptolemaic garrison on Cyprus in that year. From 142 to 131 BC, Theodorus commanded the garrison at Salamis. His father served as governor of the island at that time and was followed in that role by Crocus (131–124 BC). After the end of the Ptolemaic civil war in 124 BC, Theodorus was appointed governor (''strategos'') of Cyprus and admiral (''nauarchos''). He is named in these roles repeatedly in the dedicatory inscriptions of many statues set up on Cyprus between 124 and 118 BC by Cypriot dignitaries and Ptolemaic military officials. In the first inscription, Theodorus is referred to ...

Seleucus, Son Of Bithys
Seleukos ( grc, Σέλευκος; died ), son of Bithys, was a Ptolemaic governor of Cyprus and admiral in the second century BC. Life Seleucus had citizenship of Alexandria and Rhodes (the latter was probably the result of an honorary grant of citizenship). In 157/6 BC, he was honoured at Delphi for his diplomatic intervention with King Ptolemy VI on behalf of the city. Probably immediately after the coronation of Ptolemy VIII in 145 BC, Seleucus was appointed governor ('' strategos'') of Cyprus and ''ex officio'' High Priest of the island. In honour of him, the priests of Aphrodite at Paphos dedicated a statue of him and a second statue was probably dedicated to him by the officers of the Cilician regiment of the Ptolemaic garrison on the island. By 141/0 BC at the latest, Seleucus had acquired the rank of admiral (''nauarchos'') in the Ptolemaic navy – as stated by at least three inscriptions. He retained the governorship and the admiralty until around 130 BC when he must have ...

''Strategos'', plural ''strategoi'', Latinized ''strategus'', ( el, στρατηγός, pl. στρατηγοί; Doric Greek: στραταγός, ''stratagos''; meaning "army leader") is used in Greek to mean military general. In the Hellenistic world and the Eastern Roman Empire the term was also used to describe a military governor. In the modern Hellenic Army, it is the highest officer rank. Etymology ''Strategos'' is a compound of two Greek words: ''stratos'' and ''agos''.

''Agos'' (ἀγός) means "leader", from ''agein'' (ἄγειν) "to lead", from the proto-Ιndo-Εuropean root *ag- "to drive, draw out or forth, move”. Classical Greece Athens In its most famous attestation, in Classical Athens, the office of ''strategos'' existed already in the 6th century BC, but it was only with the reforms of Cleisthenes in 501 BC ...

Ancient Greek Statesmen
Ancient history is a time period from the beginning of writing and recorded human history to as far as late antiquity. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with the Sumerian cuneiform script. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BCAD 500. The three-age system periodizes ancient history into the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, with recorded history generally considered to begin with the Bronze Age. The start and end of the three ages varies between world regions. In many regions the Bronze Age is generally considered to begin a few centuries prior to 3000 BC, while the end of the Iron Age varies from the early first millennium BC in some regions to the late first millennium AD in others. During the time period of ancient history, the world population was already exponentially increasing due to the Neolithic Revolution, which was in full progress. While in 10,000 BC, the world population stood at ...
