Adermakhus information

Adermakhus, also known as Adirmakh or Adermalkh, was an ancient Caucasian chief of the Mahlians. His only mention is in the work of the ancient Greco-Syrian writer Lucian of Samosta, "Toxaris", also known as Friendship. According to the story, Adermakhus married the daughter of the Bospuran king Leukanor, Mazaeya, which enraged the Scythian ambassador and tax collector Arsakomas, who successfully orders the assassination of Leukanor and the kidnapping of Mazaeya. Following this, Adermakhus gathers an army and invades Scythia, but is later killed in battle by Arsakomas himself. However, it is important to note that the novel by Lucian is fiction and not based on historical records.
