Pyrrhus, (born 319, Argos, Argolis, born 319), the military success against Macedonia and Rome, whose victims evoked the word "victory of Pyrrhic". His memoir and book on war art were quoted and praised by many ancient writers including Cicero.
Pyr was a ruler at the age of 12 and was allied with Demetrius, the son of Antigonus I Monophthalmus of Macedonia. In the uprising in 302 BC, Pils fought next to Demetrius in Asia and was taken to Alexandria as a hostage under the treaty between Putremy I sorter and Demetrius. Ptolemy became friends with Pyros and returned him to the kingdom in 297. Initially, Piros dominated by relatives, Neoptolemus, but soon he quickly assassinated his colleagues.
In 294, he used the dynasty of Macedonia to acquire the border areas of Pala Air and Timpha, as well as Acarnania, Ampholloquia and Ambrasia. Corcyra and Leucas were given to him by marriage dowry. Then he fought against his former alliance, now Macedonia's Demetrius I Poliorcetes. Pyros occupied the western half of Thessalia and Macedonia and lifted the siege of Demetrius to Athens, but in 284 it was driven to Epirus by Ricimacos (replaced by Demetrius).
In 281, in Tarentum (South Italy) Pils was asked for assistance to Rome. He crossed about 25,000 men and the Italian team and 280 players beat the Hero Clare Roman army. 279 Pyros suffered another serious injury and beat the Roman (Ascoli Satriano) of Puglia 's. Then he crossed Sicily (278) as "King of Sicily" and conquered most Punic provinces except Lilybaeum (Marsala). But his authoritarian method caused the resistance of Greek Sicily and returned to Italy in 276 (or early 275). In 275, he was hit hard by the fight between Beneferentam and Rome.
The following year, he beat the new Macedonian ruler Antigonus II Gonatas whose army called Pyros the king. However, suddenly abandoned Macedonia, he began a failed attack on Sparta and revived Krenonymus (272). Pilus was murdered in the city of Argos with a night clash
This is not the end of Antigonas and Epirus's problems. Immediately after his son of Pils, Alexander II, and his successor as the king of Epirus, he conquered Macedonia and repeated his father's adventure. However, in Alexandria, in addition to being exiled from Macedonia by Anttonas son Demetrius for only a few years, he also had to lose Epirus and had to be expelled in Acaranunia. His asylum did not last long, because the Macedonians finally gave up Epirus on the pressure of Alexander's allies, Akanania and Etría. Alexander died in 242 BC, his country left his country under the regency of his wife, Olympia, and he enthusiastic to maintain a good relationship with regent strong neighbors It was proved. The marriage between Phthia and the son of Antigonus and heir Demetrius is recognized
An ancient and interesting person was King Pyros of Epirus of Greece. As I read in the Alexander the Great chapter, Alexander's mother, Olympia, came from the nearby Macedonian kingdom Epirus. In 307 BC, Alexander became the king of Epirus through Olympia 's second representative, Pierce. Pyros was impressed by Alexander's past conquest and he believed that he could also create a huge empire. Thus, when the Greek city of Taras of southern Italy (Talent of Latin) asked Pils to dispatch troops to protect them from the Romans, they declared war with Taras in 280 BC. So it is not surprising that Pils had sailed here before. The possibility of defending the Adriatic Sea and Army Taras and the Romans is mere adventure Pils is seeking.
Fearing the conquest of Rome, the Greeks prepared for the war, gathered Greek king of Greece, Pirus of Epirus. They dreamed of becoming the second Alexander the Great. The elephant of the Pyros war unknown in Italy has defeated the Romans twice, but its cost was very high, so such a victory was still called "stupid victory". Before Cartago appealed for peace in 241 BC, Rome and its Italian allies lost 200 thousand in a miserable naval battle. In stark
