The Greco-Bactrian Heliocles, circ. B.C. 150-125, son and successor of Eucratides, was probably the last Greek king who reigned over the Bactrian country.
From 130 B.C. a nomadic people, the Yuezhi, started to invade Bactria from the north. In 125 B.C. he abandonned Bactria and moved his capital to the Kabul valley, from where he ruled his Indian holdings.
The Greeks continued to rule northern India to the end of the 1st century BC, under the Indo-Greek Kingdom.
