      of Thebe, the wife of Alexander of Pherae, in whose murder he took part with his sister and
      his two brothers, Lycophron and Peitholaus. After <ref target="alexander-the-great-bio-1">Alexander's</ref> death, according to Conon the grammarian, Thebe virtually governed, while
      Tisiphonus held the nominal authority. Xenophon simply mentions him as <ref target="alexander-the-great-bio-1">Alexander's</ref> successor, and Diodorus tells us that he
      and Lycophron held the tyranny together, maintaining themselves by cruelty and violence with
      the aid of a mercenary force. We do not know how long the reign of Tisiphonus lasted; but he
      appears to have been dead by <date when-custom="-352">B. C. 352</date>, when Philip of Macedon
      marched into Thessaly to support the Aleuadae against Lycophron. (<bibl n="Xen. Hell. 6.4.37">Xen. Hell. 6.4.37</bibl>; <bibl n="Diod. 16.14">Diod. 16.14</bibl>; Con. <hi rend="ital">Narr. 50 ;</hi> Plut. <hi rend="ital">Pel. 35 ;</hi> Clint. <hi rend="ital">F. H.</hi> vol.
