Patrocles (geographer)
text:
Patrocles was a Greek and specifically a Macedonian general and writer on geographical subjects. He served Seleucus and Antiochus for several decades. After exploring the Caspian Sea, Patrocles concluded that the Caspian was a gulf or inlet that could be entered from the Indian Ocean. The only information on his work is documented in the work of Strabo. As a military officer, Patrocles was a skilled engineer and, at one point, managed to defend Babylonia for Seleucus against Demetrius Poliorcete
