Alexander the Lyncestian: The Disloyal Opposition	1980	11	.pdf	application/pdf	5202	236	57	Apparently the continued support of Lyncestian Alexander was also valuable: he was first governor of Thrace and later commander of the important Thes­ salian cavalry (Arr. 1.25.2).21 19 Bosworth 105 and J. R. Ellis, Amyntas Perdikka, Philip II, and Alexander the Great, ]HS 91 (1971) 24, think Alexander was foolish to risk Upper Macedonian unrest oy the executions; but whether or not Alexander was responsible for his father's death, he needed plausible scapegoats, and plausible candidates were likely to be important. Both Arrian (1.25.1-2) and Curtius (7.1.6-7) allude to Philip's death and to the Lyncestian brothers while narrating the arrest of Lyncestian Alexander, which occurred considerably later.	cache/grbs-6951.pdf	txt/grbs-6951.txt
