''Euergetes'' (, ''Euergétēs''), meaning "the Benefactor" (, "good", + , "doer, worker;" see euergetism), was an epithet, an honoring title, given to various benefactors. Euergetism, meaning "doing good deeds," was the ancient practice of high-status and wealthy individuals in society distributing part of their wealth to the community. For example, Archelaus I of Macedon supplied wood to Athens and takes the titles of proxenos and euergetes in 407/6 BC. The title was given to several Hellenistic monarchs: *Antiochus VII Euergetes, Seleucid king, reigned 138–129 BC *Attalus III Philometor Euergetes, king of Pergamon, reigned 138–133 BC *Mithridates V Euergetes, king of Pontus, reigned 150–120 BC *Nicomedes III Euergetes, king of Bithynia, reigned 127–94 BC *Ptolemy III Euergetes, king of Egypt, reigned 246–222 BC *Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II, king of Egypt, reigned 169–164, 144–132, 126–116 BC *Telephos Euergetes, Indo-Greek ruler, reigned 75–70 BC == See also == * Soter * Epiphanes (disambiguation) * Eusebes (disambiguation) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euergetes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
