1. An officer who commanded the Phoenician fleet, which had been assembled by Eumenes to
make head against his rivals in B. C. 318. The fleet had arrived at
Rhosus, where it was detained by contrary winds, when that of Antigonus suddenly arrived,
adorned with garlands and other triumphal ornaments, from its recent victory at the
Hellespont. Sosigenes himself was on shore, and was unable to restrain the crews, who
immediately declared in favour of Antigonus, and joined the hostile fleet. (Polyaen. 4.6.9.)
