	'''Diomedes Soter~~''' or '''Diodotus~~''' ([[Greek language\|Greek]]: {{lang\|grc\|Διομήδης ὁ Σωτήρ}}; [[epithet]] means "the Saviour") was an [[Indo-Greek]] king and possible claimant [[Greco-Bactrian Kingdom\|Greco-Bactrian]] King who may have attempted to reconquer the lands north of the [[Hindu Kush]]. The places where his coins have been found seem to indicate that his rule was based in the area of the [[Paropamisadae]], possibly with temporary dominions further east. Judging from their similar portraits and many overlapping monograms, the young Diomedes seems to have been the heir (and probably a relative) of [[King Philoxenus\|Philoxenus]], the last king to rule before the kingdom of [[Menander I]] finally fragmented.
