Derdas of Elimeia-Family
Elimiotis or Elimeia was a region of Upper Macedonia that was located along the Haliacmon, north of Perrhaibia/Thessaly, west of Pieria, east of Parauaia, and south of Orestis. In earlier times, it was independent, but later was incorporated into the Argead kingdom of Macedon.Its capital was Aiane and Derdas family ruled the local Kingdom before incorporation into Macedon.
Derdas
Derdas was archon of Elimaea during the time of Philip II of Macedon. His daughter, Phila, married Philip. He had two sons, Derdas I and Machatas. Machatas was father of Machatas I, Harpalus and Philip, who became the satrap of India. In 380 BC, Derdas and King Amyntas of Macedon supported the Spartan Army led by Teleutias against the Olynthian confederacy of Chalcidian states. Derdas also aided Agesipolis I, who was sent by Sparta to continue the war after Teleutias was killed
Machatas of Elimeia
Machatas of Elimeia was an Upper Macedonian , father of Harpalus, and of Philip, the satrap of India. He was a brother of Derdas and Phila, one of the many wives of Philip II, and belonged to the family of the princes of Elimiotis. After the expulsion of those princes he seems to have resided at the court of Philip, though it would appear from an anecdote recorded by Plutarch that he hardly enjoyed consideration corresponding to his former rank.
Phila of Elimeia
Phila , sister of Derdas and Machatas of Elimeia, was the first or second wife of Philip II of Macedon. She appears to have remained childless.
Harpalus
Harpalus son of Machatas was an aristocrat of Macedon and boyhood friend of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. Being lame in a leg, and therefore exempt from military service, Harpalus did not follow Alexander in his advance within the Persian Empire but received nonetheless a post in Asia Minor. Alexander reportedly contacted him with a demand of reading material for his spare time. Harpalus sent his King theatrical plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, the history of Philistus and odes by Philoxenus and Telestes.
Harpalus was also a charming rogue who twice absconded with large amounts of money. The first time he was forgiven and reinstated, only to abuse his trust again. In 324 BC Harpalus found refuge in Athens. He was imprisoned by the Athenians after a proposal of Demosthenes and Phocion, despite Hypereides' opposition, who wanted an immediate uprising against Alexander.[1] Ecclesia after a proposal of Demosthenes[1] decided the guarding of Harpalus' money, which were entrusted to a committee led by Demosthenes himself. When the committee counted the money, they found 350 talents, although Harpalus had declared that he had 700 talents.[1] Nevertheless, Demosthenes and the other members of the committee decided not to disclose the deficit. When Harpalus escaped and fled to Crete, the orator faced a new wave of public uproar. Areopagus conducted an inquiry and its findings charged Demosthenes with mishandling 20 talents. In Demosthenes' trial in Heliaia, Hypereides, who was the main prosecutor, predicated that Demosthenes admitted having taken the money, but said that he had used it on the people's behalf and had borrowed it free of interest. The prosecutor rejected this argument and accused Demosthenes of being bribed by Alexander.[1] Demosthenes was fined with 50 talents and imprisoned, but after a few days he escaped by the carelessness or connivance of some citizens[2] and wandered in Calauria, Aegina and Troezen. It remains still unclear whether the accusations against him were just or not. In any case, the Athenians soon repealed the sentence and sent a ship to Aegina to carry Demosthenes back to the port of Piraeus.[3]
According to Pausanias, "shortly after Harpalus ran away from Athens and crossed with a squadron to Crete, he was put to death by the servants who were attending him (in 323 BC), though some assert that he was assassinated by Pausanias, a Macedonian".[4] The geographer also narrates the following story: " The steward of his money fled to Rhodes, and was arrested by a Macedonian, Philoxenus, who also had demanded Harpalus from the Athenians. Having this slave in his power, he proceeded to examine him, until he learned everything about such as had allowed themselves to accept a bribe from Harpalus. On obtaining this information he sent a dispatch to Athens, in which he gave a list of such as had taken a bribe from Harpalus, both their names and the sums each had received. Demosthenes, however, he never mentioned at all, although Alexander held him in bitter hatred, and he himself had a private quarrel with him."[4]
Philip
Philip (died 326 BC), son of Machatas, was an officer in the service of Alexander the Great, who was appointed by him in 327 BC satrap of India, including the provinces westward of the Hydaspes, as far south as the junction of the Indus with the Acesines.1 After the conquest of the Malli and Oxydracae, these tribes also were added to his government.2
Philip was put in charge by Alexander of building the city of Alexandria on the Indus.
The territory south of the junction of the Indus with the Acesines to the sea was given to Oxyartes and Peithon, son of Agenor (Arrian, Anabasis of Alexander VI.15.4)
Droysen considers this Philip to have been the father of Antigonus, the king of Asia. It is certain at least that they were both of the race of the princes of Elimiotis.
After the departure of Alexander from India, Philip was assassinated by a conspiracy formed among the mercenary troops under his command, 326 BC.3 Alexander named Eudamus and Taxilas as rulers of his territories in replacement:
"Alexander dispatched letters to India to Eudamus and Taxilas telling them to take charge of the distric formerly under Philip, until he himself sent a satrap to govern it." (Arrian, Anabasis of Alexander, VI.27.2)
