==== Greece ==== * At the beginning of June (the 26th day of the [[Attica|Attic]] month of Thargelion: Plut. ''Dem.'' 8,3) [[Demetrius Poliorcetes|Demetrius]], son of [[Antigonus I Monophthalmus|Antigonus]], launches a surprise attack on [[Pireaus]], Athens' harbour; his forces are able to secure control of the entire port city, except the fortress on the [[Munichia|Munychia]] which remains in the hands of Dionysius, the commander of [[Cassander]]'s garrison in Athens. * [[Demetrius of Phalerum]], who ruled [[History of Athens|Athens]] for 10 years with the support of [[Cassander]], recognizes his position has become untenable. He opens up negotiations, and after several diplomatic exchanges involving [[Aristodemus of Miletus]], Antigonus top diplomat, he is given safe conduct to Thebes. Eventually he settles in [[Alexandria]]<ref name=Diod46>{{cite book|last=Siculus|first=Diodorus|title=Library|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/20C*.html#46|volume=XX|chapter=46}}</ref> * [[Demetrius Poliorcetes|Demetrius]] captures the fortress on the [[Munichia|Munychia]] and razes it to the ground. The old democracy, with the old constitution, is re-established in Athens under the leadership of [[Stratocles]] and [[Demochares]]. The grateful Athenians honour Antigonus and Demetrius as divine saviours ({{Transliteration|grc|theoi soteres}}).<ref name=Diod46/> * [[Demetrius Poliorcetes|Demetrius]] captures [[Megara]] and there he restores the old constitution as well.<ref name=Diod46/><ref>Diod.
