Edeko

Edeko, with various spellings including Edekon, Aediko, Idikon and Edica, was a prominent military leader in the fifth-century multiethnic empire of Attila the Hun, before he died in 453 AD. "Edekon" was sent by Attila on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople in 448/9, which was reported in detail by the Roman diplomat and historian Priscus of Panium, who returned with Edeko to the headquarters of Attila.

Scholars generally also believe that this "Edekon" was the same as "Edica", who one of the two chiefs of the Sciri in 468/9 after the death of Attila, mentioned by the 6th-century historian Jordanes. Many of these Sciri were killed in two battles against the increasingly powerful group of Goths who came to be known as the Ostrogoths, which was another of the groups who had previously been part of Attila's empire. It is not clear if Edeko survived the second battle, but the Sciri were not mentioned anymore as an independent people after this.
