Battle of the River Thatis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Battle of the River Thatis
The Battle of the River Thatis was part of a succession dispute in the Bosporan Kingdom that was fought in 310/309 BC. After the death of Parysades I his eldest son Satyrus II became king. His brother Eumelus pretended to the throne and gathered an army with his allies, the tribe of the Siraces. With his Scythian allies Satyrus met Eumelus in battle at the River Thatis, where Eumelus and the Siraces were defeated. Satyrus charged the cavalry in the center of the line of Eumelus with his own cavalry and put them to flight. When he heard his mercenaries had fled from the fight with the right wing of Eumelus, he attacked the enemy right wing and broke their army. The defeat was not decisive: Eumelus and his allies escaped to the capital city of the Siraces, which was situated along the River Thatis. During the siege of that city Satyrus incurred many casualties and was mortally wounded himself. After the death of Satyrus the pretender Eumelus defeated his second brother Prytanis and seized the throne of the Bosporan Kingdom. == Prelude == In 310/309 BC King Parysades died after ruling for 58 years. His eldest son Satyrus succeeded him as king, but his younger brothers Eumelus and Prytanis contended with him for the throne. Eumelus made an alliance with the Siraces, raised a strong army and made his own claim to the throne. Satyrus gathered his own army and marched against him near the Thatis river. This river (also called ''Thates'') is unknown, but it is thought that the battle took place somewhere between the lower Kuban River and the Caucasus mountains.
