Question
Python and Heraclides (“hair-uh-KLY-deez”), two students of Plato, assassinated the ruler of a kingdom in this region. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this region where Cotys I ruled the Odrysians. In this region, Athens replaced the failed settlement of Ennea Hodoi (“en-NAY-uh ho-DOY”) with a colony at Amphipolis (“am-FIP-uh-liss”) in a bid to more easily access the mines at Mount Pangaeus.
ANSWER: Thrace [or Thracia, Thráki, Trakiya, Thráki, or Trakya; accept Thracian Kingdom; prompt on Bulgaria, Bǎlgariya, European Turkey, or Türkiye; reject “Anatolia”]
[10h] Cotys I married a daughter to this 4th-century-BCE Athenian general, who popularized peltasts by introducing lighter equipment. This man’s hit-and-run javelin tactic crushed a Spartan hoplite force at Lechaeum.
ANSWER: Iphicrates (“if-ih-KRAH-teez”)
[10e] This ruler was perhaps inspired by Iphicrates’s reforms to create the sarissa-armed Macedonian phalanx. This ruler defeated the forces of Athens and Thebes at Chaeronea (“kye-ro-NAY-uh”).
ANSWER: Philip II of Macedon [or Philip II of Macedonia; accept Philippos in place of “Philip”; prompt on Philip of Macedon or Philip of Macedonia]
