      service of Cassander, king of Macedonia. He is first mentioned in <date when-custom="-315">B. C.
       315</date>, when he was sent by Cassander on a secret mission to Alexander the son of
      Polysperchon, whom he succeeded in detaching from the cause of Antigonus and inducing to join
      his arms with those of Cassander (<bibl n="Diod. 19.64">Diod. 19.64</bibl>). Shortly after we
      find him commanding an army which was sent to support Asander in Caria, and co-operating with
      that general against Ptolemy, the nephew of Antigonus (Id. <hi rend="ital">ib.</hi> 68). From
      this time we hear no more of him till <date when-custom="-303">B. C. 303</date>, when he held the
      important fortress of Corinth with a large force, but was unable to prevent its falling into
      the hands of Demetrius, and only saved himself by a hasty flight (Id. 20.103). In the
      following summer (<date when-custom="-302">B. C. 302</date>) he was sent by Cassander, with a
      considerable army, to co-operate with Lysimachus in Asia, where his arms were crowned with the
      most brilliant successes; he reduced in a short space of time the important cities of
      Adramyttium, Ephesus, and Sardes, and made himself master of almost the whole of Aeolia and
      Ionia. But he was unable to prevent the recovery of a great part of these conquests by
      Demetrius, before the close of the same autumn (Id. 20.107, 111). After this we hear no more
      of him. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.H.B">E.H.B</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
