Bathanatos
Thracian Celtic king ruling the Scordisci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bathanatos or Bathanatius (Ancient Greek: Βαθανάτιος) Celtic king in Thrace.[1][2] He was the leader of the Scordisci, a Gaulish tribe, who invaded ancient Greece with Brennus in 279 BCE.[3]
After the defeat of Brennus, Bathanatius led his people to the banks of the Danube, at the confluence of the Sava, roughly around Belgrade, where they settled down.[4][5] The way by which they returned received from their leader the name of Bathanatia; and his descendants were called Bathanati.[6]
