==== Greece ==== * Becoming tired of [[Macedon]]ian rule, the people of [[Epirus]] recall their former king [[Aeacides]] (who until then had been campaigning with his old ally [[Polyperchon]] in the [[Peloponnese]]). [[Cassander]] immediately sends an army against him under his brother [[Philip (general)|Philip]], who is diverted from invading [[Aetolia]].<ref name="Diodorus74">{{cite book|last=Siculus|first=Diodorus|title=Library|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/19E*.html#74|volume=XIX|chapter=74}}</ref> * At the autumn meeting of the [[Aetolian League]], [[Aristodemus of Miletus]], [[Antigonus I Monophthalmus|Antigonus]]' top diplomat, is able to persuade the [[Aetolians]] to support Antigonus.<ref>{{cite book|last=Siculus|first=Diodorus|title=Library|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/19E*.html#66|volume=XIX|chapter=66}}</ref> * [[Aristodemus of Miletus|Aristodemus]] and his mercenary army (recruited the year prior) cross over to the [[Peloponnese]] and fight [[Alexander (son of Polyperchon)|Alexander]], the son of [[Polyperchon]], at [[Cyllene (Elis)|Cyllene]], and liberate [[Patrae]] and [[Aegium]] from [[Cassander]]'s garrisons. Aristodemus then returns to [[Aetolia]], leaving a sizeable force in the Pelopponese who help the city of [[Dyme]] eject its garrison, despite a failed intervention by Alexander.<ref name="Diodorus67">{{cite book|last=Siculus|first=Diodorus|title=Library|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/19E*.html#67|volume=XIX|chapter=67}}</ref> * [[Philip (general)|Philip]] marches into [[Acarnania]] to prevent [[Aeacides]] from linking up with the [[Aetolians]]. Philip defeats Aeacides in battle, killing many [[Epirotes]] and capturing 50 leading supporters of Aeacides, sending them as prisoners to [[Macedon]]. Aeacides, with the remnant of his forces, joins the Aetolians. Philip catches up to Aeacides and the Aetolians at [[Oeniadae]] and defeats them in battle. Aeacides, who was wounded in the Battle of Oeniadae, dies a few days later. The remaining Aetolian army takes refuge in the surrounding mountains.<ref name="Diodorus74"/> * [[Cassander]], hearing of [[Aristodemus of Miletus|Aristodemus]]' success with the [[Aetolians]], marches south in force, persuades the [[Acarnanians]] to ally with him, and campaigns successfully along the [[Adriatic]] coast; capturing [[Apollonia (Illyria)|Apollonia]] and defeating the [[Illyrians|Illyrian]] king [[Glaucius]]. At the end of the year Cassander returns to [[Macedon]].<ref>Diod. XIX 67,3β7</ref> * With his western border thus strengthened, [[Cassander]] sends [[Prepelaus]], one of his top generals, with an army to [[Asia Minor]] to aid his ally [[Asander]].<ref>Diod. XIX 68,2</ref> * [[Cassander]] orders Dionysius (the commander of his garrison in [[Athens]]) and [[Demetrius of Phalerum]] (the tyrant of Athens) to send a fleet of 20 warships to try and recapture [[Lemnos]]. An Athenian [[strategos]] named Aristoteles is sent, ravaging the island in conjunction with [[Seleucus I Nicator|Seleucus]] (who was sent into the [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]] by [[Ptolemy I Soter|Ptolemy]]). After Seleucus sails away, Aristoteles is attacked by the Antigonid fleet, most of his ships being captured.<ref>Diod. XIX 68,3β4</ref>
