Editing Demetrius I Poliorcetes (section)

==== Others ====
Plutarch's account of Demetrius's departure from Macedonia in 288 BC inspired [[Constantine Cavafy]] to write "King Demetrius" (ὁ βασιλεὺς Δημήτριος) in 1906, his earliest surviving poem on an historical theme.

Demetrius is the main character of the opera [http://wiki-score.org/doku.php?id=demetrio:index Demetrio a Rodi] (Turin, 1789) with libretto<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=H6OcHAAACAAJ Demetrio a Rodi: festa per musica da rappresentarsi nel Regio teatro di Torino per le nozze delle LL. AA. RR. Vittorio Emanuele], 48p. Published by Presso O. Derossi, 1789.</ref> by Giandomenico Boggio and Giuseppe Banti. The music is set by [[Gaetano Pugnani]] (1731-1798).

Demetrius appears (under the Greek form of his name, Demetrios) in [[L. Sprague de Camp]]'s historical novel,'' [[The Bronze God of Rhodes]]'', which largely concerns itself with his siege of Rhodes.

[[Alfred Duggan]]'s novel ''Elephants and Castles'' provides a lively fictionalised account of his life.
