Hellenistic rulers: conceivable epithets

[Macilrille]

Stolen from Wiki as I am not Hellenistic expert.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes
He assumed divine epithets, which no other Hellenistic king had done, such as Theos Epiphanes("God Manifest") and after his defeat of Egypt, Nikephoros("Bearer of Victory")[2]. But his often eccentric behavior, capricious actions and even insanity led some of his contemporaries to call him Epimanes ("The Mad One"), a word play off of his title Epiphanes.

He was the one invading Ptolomaic Egypt to be met on the way to Alexrandria by an old Roman and his cane...

Easier to be Roman, campaign somewhere and get/take that name, Scipio Africanus most famously.

What does this mean?

Εξαιρετικά ο μακρύς

[Olaf Blackeyes]

Is that Greek or Russian?

LOL Greek Btw, the script with which Russia is written with is Cyrillic.

I like Monophthalmos.

A bit off-topic but I had a really cool Arverni FM with the title oi Neamha. Neamha meaning the berserker. He also had a couple of interesting traits like loving to have blood baths...

[Cambyses]

I know he wasnt Greek, but once you get a Roman emperor called Caligula then surely its time to leave all these grandiose clever titles by the wayside.

Something about being 'very long.'

Something about being 'very long.'

Wow, I suppose that might be good for the gym-runner dude?

[Maion Maroneios]

Something about being 'very long.'

Actually, that means 'exceptionaly long'. More appropriate would be ΜΑΚΡΥΣ (long) or ΜΑΚΡΥΤΑΤΟΣ (longest), even though I don't think it was used for height.

'The Red' would be 'ΕΡΥΘΡΟΣ' and 'Enlightened' would be (I believe) 'ΠΕΦΩΤΙΣΜΕΝΟΣ'. I'll have to think about other ones

This is a very intersting thread, especially for all AAR writers, so I would like to ask the greek-speakers for a few more:
"Freedom-giver" - would that be "Eleutheroforos"?
"Conqueror of India" - would that be "Indikoiketes"? (a la Demetrios Poliorketes ???)
"The Founder" - ???
"The Pater Patrie" - ???
"The Lackland" - ???
"The Protector" - ???
"The Liberator" - ???
"The Cruel" - ???
"The Conqueror" - ???
"The Warmonger" - ???
"The Cruel" - ???
"The Vanquisher of Parthians/Medes/Persians" - ???

Basicaly whatever comes to your mind, throw it out here!

This is a very intersting thread, especially for all AAR writers, so I would like to ask the greek-speakers for a few more:
"Freedom-giver" - Eleutherodotes (ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΟΔΟΤΗΣ)
"Conqueror of India" - Kataktetes Indias (ΚΑΤΑΚΤΗΤΗΣ ΙΝΔΙΑΣ)
"The Founder" - Propator or Protoktistes (ΠΡΟΠΑΤΩΡ, ΠΡΩΤΟΚΤΙΣΤΗΣ)
"The Pater Patrie" - Pater Patridos (ΠΑΤΗΡ ΠΑΤΡΙΔΟΣ)
"The Lackland" - Not sure about that one
"The Protector" - Proaspistes would be fine (ΠΡΟΑΣΠΙΣΤΗΣ)
"The Liberator" - Apeleutherotes (ΑΠΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΩΤΗΣ)
"The Cruel" - Baryphron (ΒΑΡΥΦΡΩΝ)
"The Conqueror" - Kataktetes (ΚΑΤΑΚΤΗΤΗΣ)
"The Warmonger" - Not sure here, but 'Polemochares' (ΠΟΛΕΜΟΧΑΡΗΣ) (war-loving) would be a good subtitute
"The Vanquisher of Parthians/Medes/Persians" - Nikesas Parthon/Medon/Person (ΝΙΚΗΣΑΣ ΠΑΡΘΩΝ/ΜΗΔΩΝ/ΠΕΡΣΩΝ)

Here, see the bold parts. Oh and good luck with your AAR again mate
