The greatest of the Indo-Greek kings and the one best known to Western and Indian classical authors was Menander(160 BC-135 BC).
His kingdom in the Indian subcontinent consisted of an area extending from the Kabul Valley in the west to the Ravi River in the east, and from the Swat Valley (in modern Pakistan) in the north to Arachosia in Afghanistan to the south. He captured Mathurak and he threatened Magadha's capital, Pataliputra.
Menander converted to Buddhism. He was a patron of the Buddhist religion and 'Milinda-panha' is a classical Pali Buddhist text on the discussions between Milinda and the Buddhist sage Nagasena. According to Buddhist tradition he handed over his kingdom to his son and retired from the world.
