The Mininda Panha, or 'The Questions of the King Milinda" are a classical Pali text describing how Menander embraced the Buddhist faith while discussing with the Buddhist sage Ngasena. He is described as constantly accompanied by a guard of 500 Greek ("Yonaka") soldiers, and two of his counsellors are named Demetrius and Antiochus. This type of discussion was known to ancient Greeks as a "sozo", it is important for Buddhists to understand the cultural context in which this discussion was held.
