Agathocles Dikaios (Greek: Ἀγαθοκλῆς ὁ Δίκαιος; epithet meaning: the Just) was a Buddhist Indo-Greek king who reigned between around 190 and 180 BC. He might have been a son of Demetrius and one of his sub-kings in charge of the Paropamisade between Bactria and India. In that case he was a grandson of Euthydemus whom he qualified on his coins as Βασιλεὺς Θεός Basileus Theos (Greek for God-King).Agathocles was contemporary with or a successor of king Pantaleon.
