Andragathus

Andragathus (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδράγαθος) was a man in ancient Greece given command of the garrison at Amphipolis by Demetrius I of Macedon in 287 BCE to keep the threat of rival general Lysimachus in check while Demetrius went off to wage war against Pyrrhus of Epirus at Beroea (now modern Veria).^[1] Andragathus surrendered the city to Lysimachus, perhaps after being offered a bribe.^[2]

In some works, the name Andragathus is used to refer to the murderer of Roman emperor Gratian. This person's name was actually Andragathius.^[3]
