So Cotys was the King of the united Odrysian Kingdom, being murdered by students of Plato. What if instead of being killed, he managed to survive? In a years time Philip of Macedon becomes King of Macedonia - if the Thracian Kingdom is still united, could we see Philip marry into that royal family instead of the Molossians?
Would this manage to bring Thrace into his Empire more peaceably, and what could happen on Cotys eventual death? A four way split? Or would Philip be able to wrangle the Kingdom into his control?
