Megasthenes, an ambassador, was sent to the court of ______ by the Greek ruler of West Asia, Seleucus Nicator.

Chandragupta

The correct answer is Option 2- Chandragupta

Megasthenes was a Greek ambassador who was sent to the court of Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the Maurya Empire, by Seleucus I Nicator, the ruler of the Seleucid Empire.

Megasthenes lived in India from 302 to 298 BCE. He wrote a book about India called Indica, which is one of the most important sources of information about the Maurya Empire.

In Indica, Megasthenes describes the political, social, and economic organization of the Maurya Empire. He also describes the religions, customs, and beliefs of the Indian people.

Megasthenes's account of India is valuable because it provides a rare glimpse into the life of the Maurya Empire. It is also important because it shows the interaction between Greek and Indian cultures.
