Neoptolemus
400 BC - 321 BC
Neoptolemus
Neoptolemus (Ancient Greek: Νεoπτόλεμος; died 321 BC) was a Macedonian officer who served under Alexander the Great. According to Arrian he belonged to the race of the Aeacidae, so he was probably related to the family of the kings of Epirus. Neoptolemus is mentioned as serving in the Macedonian royal guards (ἑταῖροι) and distinguished himself particularly at the siege of Gaza, 332 BC, where he was the first to scale the walls. Little has been written about him during the subsequent campaigns of Alexander; however, he appears to have earned a reputation as an able soldier. Read more on Wikipedia
