Apollodotos
I. is one of the few Bactrian kings to be named by classic authors from
the Graeco-Roman west. The Augustean historian Pompeius Trogus, who
wrote a history of Alexander and his successors, apparently also
described Apollodotos' life, but only a short summary of it (by Junianus
Justinus) has survived. The king is also named in the Periplus Marae
Erythraei, a 1st Century AD periplus describing the trading routes from
Egypt to India.
