Biography

Genealogy of the descendants of Teres

After the death of the Thracian king Cotis I, Berisad, together with his two brothers Kerseblept and Amadok II, inherited his kingdom. Due to Kerseblept’s young age, their sister’s husband, the Ebey commander Haridem , was the regent with him ^[1] . With the assistance of Haridem, the Thracian kingdom in 358 BC. e. was divided into three parts, and Chersonesus of Thrace (with the exception of Cardia), went to the Athenians . Berisad received the western part of the Odric Kingdom west of the Mesta River to the Struma River . It is possible that Berisad took himself the co-ruler of his son Ketripor .

In 357 BC e. Berisad and his brothers made an alliance with Athens against the Macedonians ^[2] . But already in 356 BC. e. the Thracians lost the Krenid region, where the Philippa fortress was founded. The gold mines of Mount Pangey in the captured area allowed Philip II to increase the army ^[3] . At the death of Berisad in 352 BC. e. Haridem decided to remove from power his sons and sons Amadok ^[4] ^[5] . Since the hired military commanders Athenodor, Simon, and Bianor stood on their side, at the request of Haridem, the Athenian Aristomache proposed that Haridem be elected commander in the assembly, indicating that only he could conquer the Athenians Amphipolis . The war between Kerseblept and supporters of the sons of Berisad and Amadok, which began immediately after the death of the king of western Thrace, was forced to cease due to the invasion of the Macedonians ^[6] . The son of Berisad, Ketripor, became king of western Thrace.
