A Macedonian, son of Andromenes, and brother of Attalus and Amyntas, the officers of <ref target="alexander-the-great-bio-1">Alexander</ref>. He probably served in the division of the
      phalanx, commanded by his brother Amyntas, as we find him taking the command of it at the
      battle of Arbela during his brother's absence. On this occasion his division was one of those
      which bore the chief brunt of the battle. (<bibl n="Arr. An. 3.11">Arr. Anab. 3.11</bibl>,
       <bibl n="Arr. An. 3.14">14</bibl>.) In <date when-custom="_330">B. C. 330</date> he was accused,
      together with his brothers, of having been concerned in the conspiracy of Philotas; but the
      vigorous defence of Amyntas before the Macedonian army procured their joint acquittal. (Arr.
