Eudemus (general)

Eudemus (Ancient Greek: Εὔδημος; died 316 BC) was one of Alexander the Great's generals.

In 326 BC, he was appointed by Alexander as one of the commanders of the troops in India along with Peithon, Porus and Taxiles.

[1] According to Diodorus Siculus after Alexander's unexpected death in 323 BC, Eudemus assassinated the Indian king Porus.

Eumenes lost control of his army's baggage camp which included all the loot of the most decorated Macedonian veterans (called the Argyraspides, or Silver Shields).

Antigonus responded to a request for the return of the baggage train sent by Teutamus, one of their commanders, by demanding they give him Eumenes.

Eudemus ruled, first with Taxiles , the northern dominions of the Indus, down to the junction of the Indus and the Acesines .
