They've got good bodyguards (at start atleast, not too fond of their late types either), and can recruit the Skythian Nobles, while still employing a, partly atleast, greek army. Might give it another try with Eperios after though, to see how it goes :)
It might be a little harder; you can only build type III or type IV governments in Chersonesos and Pantikapaion, and I suspect that's the case in most of the other settlements around the Black Sea (a few might be Expansion, so type II becomes available). That cuts off the heavy-grade factional units.

I've always thought using Epeiros is the least disruptive to the rest of the game, and besides Greece is already overcrowded with Makedonia and KH.
