What are the achievements of menander?
Answers
Menander I Soter, was one of the Indo-Greek rulers in northern India from c. 155 B.C.E. to 130 B.C.E. His territories covered the eastern dominions of the divided Greek empire of Bactria and extended to the modern Indian States of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh and the Jammu region. His capital was Sagala, a prosperous city in northern Punjab believed to be (modern Sialkot), a few kilometers west of what is now the border between India and Pakistan. He is one of the few Bactrian kings mentioned by Greek authors, among them Apollodorus of Artemita, who claims that the Greeks from Bactria were even greater conquerors than Alexander the Great, and that Menander was one of the two Bactrian kings, with Demetrius, who extended their power farthest into India.
He is also the first historical Westerner documented to have converted to Buddhism, renowned for his open-minded dialogues with followers of other religions.
