Alexander (Gr. Script error: No such module "Lang".) was commander of the cavalry in the army of Antigonus III Doson during the war against Cleomenes III of Sparta.[1][2] He fought alongside Philopoemen, then a young officer in the Achean army, who had to fight a disadvantageous engagement during the Battle of Sellasia to save Alexander's wing (the right wing) of the Macedonian army.[3] This Alexander is probably the same person as the one whom Antigonus, as the guardian of Philip (son of Demetrius II of Macedon), had appointed commander of Philip's body-guard, and who was slandered by Apelles.[4] Subsequently he was sent by Philip as ambassador to Thebes, to persecute the Macedonian Megaleas.[5] Polybius states that at all times he manifested a most extraordinary attachment to his king.[6]
