The essay intends to propose a reconstruction of the tyranny of the Aetolian Timarchus in Miletus. After an overview of the available sources, it is suggested that Antigonus Gonatas would have supported Timarchus' rise to power and that such support should be seen as one of the king’s deeds to limit the Lagid presence in the Aegean and Asia Minor in the aftermath of the Chremonidean War. Next, it will be suggested that Antigonus would have refrained from bringing aid to Timarchus when Antiochus II liberated Miletus so as not to spoil his good relations with the king of Syria.

Abstract

The essay intends to propose a reconstruction of the tyranny of the Aetolian Timarchus in Miletus. After an overview of the available sources, it is suggested that Antigonus Gonatas would have supported Timarchus' rise to power and that such support should be seen as one of the king’s deeds to limit the Lagid presence in the Aegean and Asia Minor in the aftermath of the Chremonidean War. Next, it will be suggested that Antigonus would have refrained from bringing aid to Timarchus when Antiochus II liberated Miletus so as not to spoil his good relations with the king of Syria.
