Lisimach
Explanation:
However the fights against the invading Macedonians are not finished,
for around 300 BC, the Dacian King Dromichetes fights against Lisimach’s
army again. When Lisimach becomes Dromichetes’ prisoner, instead of
killing the enemy, as the custom was, Dromichetes has the intteligence to let
him live. He also arranges to marry his son to Lisimach’s daughter, thus
ensuring a long-lasting peace with the Macedonians.

Lysimachus


Explanation:
Lysimachus


(lsmґks) (KEY) , c.355–281 B.C., Thessalian general of Alexander the Great. He was a commander in Alexander’s fleet on the Hydaspes as well as his bodyguard. On Alexander’s death (323 B.C.) Lysimachus took control of Thrace. He joined (314 B.C.) the other Diadochi—Cassander, Ptolemy I, and Seleucus I—in the league against Antigonus I, and after the defeat of Antigonus at Ipsus, Lysimachus took W Asia Minor as his share (301 B.C.). In 286 B.C. he added Macedonia to his kingdom by defeating Pyrrhus. Five years later Lysimachus was defeated in a war with Seleucus and was killed in battle at Corupedium near Magnesia ad Sipylum. A legend says that Lysimachus’ wife, Arsinoл (daughter of Ptolemy I), persuaded him to kill his son by a former marriage and that the son’s widow took refuge with Seleucus and provoked the final war (http://www.bartleby.com/65/ly/Lysimach.html)
***********

In the clash of angry demonstrators versus Lysimachus, his followers and mercenaries, Lysimachus was killed. The Jews then petitioned Antiochus to remove Menelaus, but to no avail (http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:8PorhoN_3OM:www.tiferet...

  -> I think 'Lysimachus' is closer to the original

agree  Natalia Bearden: Goodness! Hafiza, would you like a new halo for X-Mas? Seriously though, I appreciate your sense of fair play, but it's almost too much; it's not worth it :o)

  -> please UPS my new halo by X-mas!
