==== Asia Minor ====
* [[Ptolemy I Soter|Ptolemy I's]] eldest (legitimate) son, [[Ptolemy Keraunos]], whose mother, [[Eurydice of Egypt|Eurydice]], the daughter of [[Antipater]], had been repudiated by the new King [[Ptolemy II Philadelphus|Ptolemy II]], flees [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]] to the court of [[Lysimachus]], the king of [[Thrace]], [[Macedon]] and [[Asia Minor]].
* Lysimachus' wife, [[Arsinoe II of Egypt|Arsinoe]], being keen to gain the succession to the kingdom of [[Thrace]] for her sons in preference to [[Agathocles (son of Lysimachus)|Agathocles]] (the eldest son of Lysimachus), intrigues against him with the help of her brother [[Ptolemy Keraunos]]. They accuse him of conspiring with [[Seleucus I Nicator|Seleucus]] to seize the throne, and Agathocles is put to death. This atrocious deed by Lysimachus and his family arouses great indignation. Many of the cities in Asia Minor revolt and some of his most trusted friends desert him.
* Agathocles' widow [[Lysandra]] flees with their children and with Alexander, Agathocles' brother, to the court of Seleucus, who at once invades Lysimachus' territory in Asia Minor.
