Alexander (Gr. polytonic|Ἀλέξανδρος), the son of Lysimachus by an Odrysian woman whom Polyaenus calls Macris. [Polyaenus, vi. 12] On the murder of his brother Agathocles by the command of his father in 284 BC, he fled into Asia with his brother's widow Lysandra, and solicited the aid of Seleucus I Nicator.[cite encyclopedia | last = Smith | first = William | authorlink = William Smith (lexicographer) | title = Alexander | editor = William Smith | encyclopedia = Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology | volume = 1 | pages = 118 | publisher = Little, Brown and Company | location = Boston | year = 1867 | url = http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=moa;cc=moa;idno=acl3129.0001.001;size=l;frm=frameset;seq=133] A war ensued in consequence between Seleucus and Lysimachus, which terminated in the defeat and death of the latter, who was slain in battle in 281 BC, in the plain of Corius in Phrygia. His body was conveyed by his son Alexander to Lysymachia, and there buried between Cardia and Pactya, where his tomb still stood in the time of Pausanias, a century later.
