Lysimachus
360 BCE–281 BCE · Lysimachia
Lysimachus was a Macedonian officer and bodyguard of Alexander the Great who, after Alexander's death, governed Thrace and later ruled it and much of western Asia Minor as king from 306 BCE. As one of the principal successors, or Diadochi, he took part in the shifting coalitions and wars among Alexander's generals, sharing in the victory over Antigonus at Ipsus in 301 BCE. For a time he also held Macedon, extending his power across the Aegean and into the Balkans. His fortunes collapsed amid family strife and rebellion, and he was killed at the Battle of Corupedium against Seleucus I in 281 BCE.
