However, Demetrius was restless and twice tried to escape from his exile on the shores of the Caspian sea, once with the help of his friend Kallimander, who had gone to great lengths to rescue the king: he had travelled incognito through Babylonia and Parthia.
The second time Demetrius was captured when he tried to escape, Mithradates humiliated him by giving him a golden set of dice, thus hinting that DemetriusII was a restless child who needed toys.
DemetriusII was certainly uncapable to handle the developing threats to the Seleucid empire, but his reputation of cruelty was probably undeserved.
