Background
After the death of Ketripor’s grandfather, the Thracian king Cotys I , Ketripore’s father Berisad, along with his two brothers, Kerseblept and Amadok II, inherited his kingdom. Because of the small age of Kerseblipt, the regent with him was their sister's husband, a Evbeian military leader Haridem [1] . With the assistance of Haridem the Thracian kingdom in 358 BC. e. It was divided into three parts, and Chersonese Thracian (with the exception of Cardia), went to the Athenians . Berisad received the western part of the Audria kingdom west of the Mesta River to the Struma River [2] .
Biography
In 356 BC. e. King Berisad made Prince Ketripore his co-ruler. After the death of Berisad in 352 BC. e. Kharidem decided to remove from power Ketripor [3] . Since hired commanders Afinodor, Simon and Bianor were on his side, at the request of Haridem the Athenian Aristomas proposed to elect Haridem as a general in the assembly, pointing out that only he could conquer the Athenians Amphipolis . Despite the fact that both Western and Eastern Thrace were anti-Macedonian, war broke out between them. Uncle Ketripore Kersebpt invaded Western Thrace, but the war stopped due to the invasion of the Macedonians. By 347 BC. e. Western Thrace was captured by the Macedonians, Ketripore was forced to undermine Philip, although apparently he saved his life because Ketripor continued to mint his coin until a later period, which is proof that his administration was not liquidated immediately after the seizure of his kingdom by the Macedonians. Sources and inscriptions often say: “Ketripor and his brothers,” which may indicate that his brothers were his co-rulers. A fragment-inscription of the 1st century was discovered in Gotse Delchev , in which the word "Ketripara" is mentioned. Historians believe that Ketripor founded a settlement in the area of the modern city of Koprivlen , which bore his name [4] .
