Antigonus (son of Demetrius)
Also known as: Antigonus · Family: Macedonians · Role: military commander · First appears: Book 1 · Chapter 1
In Book 1, Antigonus, son of Demetrius, raided and ravaged Athenian territory while his fleet blockaded the city by sea. In the same book, Lysimachus fought against him. In Book 2, while Antigonus was king of the Macedonians, fire erupted from the ground at Methana, and warm, very salty water began to flow.
In Book 3, Antigonus made an expedition against Athens by land and sea; the Lacedæmonians came out in full force, led by Areus. Later, at Elis, Aristotimus obtained sovereignty partly through Antigonus’s assistance.
