History

The Odrysian state was the first Thracian kingdom that acquired power in the region, by the unification of many Thracian tribes under a single ruler: king Teres.

Teres' son, Sitalkes proved to be a good military leader, forcing the tribes that defected the alliance to acknowledge his sovereignty. The rich state that spread from the Danube to the Aegean built roads to develop trade and built a powerful army that could reach 150,000 men. In 429 BC, they organized a campaign against the Macedonians, but they retreated after only thirty days. Sitalkes (reigned 431 - 424 BC) was one of the great kings of the Thracian Odrysian state. ...

Sitalkes wanted to unify all the Thracians, so he decided to fight the Triballi, but was killed in the battle that followed. The Triballi were an ancient Thracian people whose earliest home was near the junction of the Angrus and Brongus (the South and West Morava), and included towards the south the Triballian plain, which corresponds to the plain of Kosovo in Serbia. ...

Seuthes I followed as king and during this time, the kingdom enjoyed a period of prosperity, but various Thracian tribes quit the Empire. Seuthes I was king of the Odrysian Thracians from 424 BC until 410 BC. He was the nephew of Sitalkes. ...

In the 4th century BC, it disintegrated into three smaller kingdoms, of which one, with the capital at Seuthopolis survived the longest.
