Battus II of Cyrene, sometimes called Eudaimon (the Blessed) or the Latin equivalent Felix, (Greek: Βάττος ὁ Εὐδαίμων; ruled from c. 583 BC to 560 BC) was the third Greek king of Cyrenaica and Cyrene and a member of the Battiad dynasty.
Battus II was the son of the second Cyrenaean king Arcesilaus I and an unknown mother.
Battus II encouraged further Greek settlement in his state, especially from the Peloponnese and Crete.
This sparked conflict with the indigenous Libyans, whose king Adicran dispatched an embassy to the Egyptian Pharaoh Apries.
Herodotus states that the Egyptians had no warfare experience against the Greeks and they didn’t take this battle seriously.
