![]() An art of king Abhisara |
Abisares (or Abhisara;[1] in Greek Ἀβισάρης), called Embisarus (Ἐμβίσαρος,) by Diodorus,[2] was a Kasmira king of Abhira[3] descent whose territory lay in the river Hydaspes beyond the mountains. On his death in 325 BC, Alexander the Great appointed Abisares' son as his successor.[4][5][6][7]
The historians of Alexander (B.C. 325) speak of one Abisares as the ruler of the hills between Murri and the Márgala. It has been held by some that Abisares corresponds to Abhira, and that consequently the king Abisares, referred to by the Greek historians, denotes an Abhira chief.
