Correct me if I'm referring to this topic in a non-standard manner but I'm wondering if there exists a handy list of the epithets used by the Greek kings and whomever else. Examples include Philpator, Epiphanes, Soter, Philadelphos and so on. It would also be of interest to learn how these titles were bestowed. Thanks.

Since the Greek kingdoms were absolute monarchies, most of these titles were claimed by the kings themselves.

As for a list, I can't say I'm familiar with one, at least not one that cross-references back to listing which kings used which titles on their coins.
