Edoni

The strategically important Athenian colony of Ennea Hodoi ("Nine Ways", later Amphipolis) was taken by the Edonians shortly after the Persian Empire was driven from the area.

[6] The Edoni and the nearby Thracians defeated a massive Ionian invasion led by Athens 32 years later.

The Athenians and their allies advanced far up the Angitis valley toward Drabescus before they were cut off and completely destroyed, losing 10,000 killed in the disaster.

[8] Brasidas liberated the city during that conflict and after a pro-Lacedaemonian coup d'état the Edonians became his allies.

[11] Lycurgus, son of Dryas, was a mythical king of the Edoni, who drove Dionysus into exile in the Cyclades but was ultimately overthrown and killed by his own people.
