Cothelas (Ancient Greek:Κοθήλας), also known asGudila[citation needed] (fl. 4th century BC), was a king of theGetae who ruled an area near theBlack Sea, between northernThrace and theDanube.[1] His polity also included the important port ofOdessos. Around 341 BC, he concluded a treaty withMacedonian kingPhilip II, becoming hisvassal. This relation was further cemented when Cothelas' daughter,Meda of Odessa, became one of the Macedonian king's wives.The tomb of Cothelas is probably at theGetic burial complex near the present day Bulgarian village of Sveshtari, in North-EasternBulgaria.[2]
A person by the name of Gudila is also mentioned in theProsopography of the Later Roman Empire: AD 395–527.[3]
