Ruth & Alexander: note this
The thread where we were discussing Phocion etc. has got too long and it won't allow me to post a new message, so here's a continuation ...You might be interested to know that TODAY is, in fact, the reputed anniversary of the death of Phocion, in 317BC. It was posted on RogueClassicism this morning.ATBMarcus

Re: Ruth & Alexander: note this
Hello Marcus, thanks for that info. How interesting that I should be so involved in writing about him at this very moment! I noticed the thread was expanding and because it's a rather intersting subject and connected to Macedonia/Alex I was hoping to get further responses. By the way, I was glad to know he died in 317 because I think (according to my research???) Polyperchon went to meet with him in 318 and after that they sentenced him to death. A most amazing character!
