# Orestes of Macedon

Orestes (Ancient Greek: Ὀρέστης, Oréstēs), son of Archelaus I, succeeded in his minority as king of Macedonia after his father was killed. He reigned from 400/399 to 398/7 BC, when his guardian (epitropos) and uncle, Aeropus II, killed or deposed him. Aeropus thereafter reigned alone until his death in 394/3 BC.
