Amyntas II of Macedon

Birth date unknown, died 393 BCE

Amyntas II or Amyntas the Little, was the king of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia for a short time, circa 393 BC. Thucydides describes him as a son of Philip, the brother of king Perdiccas II. He first succeeded his father in his appanage in Upper Macedonia, but Perdiccas II wished to deprive Amyntas of the appanage, as he had before endeavoured to wrest it from Philip. This project had however been hindered by the Athenians.
