As long as Aridaeus reigned, and after him Cassander and his sons, friendly relations continued between Lysimachus and Macedon . But when the kingdom devolved upon Demetrius, son of Antigonus, Lysimachus, henceforth expecting that war would be declared upon him by Demetrius, resolved to take aggressive action. He was aware that Demetrius inherited a tendency to aggrandise, and he also knew that he visited Macedonia at the summons of Alexander and Cassander, and on his arrival murdered Alexander himself¹ and ruled the Macedonians in his stead.
