king he followed the fortunes of his friend and See also:fellow-countryman See also:Eumenes. He was wounded and taken prisoner by Antigonus, who pardoned him and appointed him See also:superintendent of the See also:asphalt beds in the Dead See also:Sea. He was treated with equal friendliness by Antigonus's son See also:Demetrius, who made him See also:pole-See also:march of See also:Thespiae, and by Antigonus Gonatas, at whose See also:court he died at the See also:age of 104. He wrote a See also:history of the See also:Diadochi and their descendants, embracing the See also:period from the death of Alexander to the See also:war with See also:Pyrrhus (323—272 B.C.), which is one of the See also:chief authorities used by Diodorus Siculus (xviii.-xx.) and also by See also:Plutarch in his See also:life of Pyrrhus. He made use of See also:official papers and was careful in his investigation of facts. The simplicity of his See also:style rendered his See also:work unpopular, but it is probable that it was on a high level as compared with that of his contemporaries. In the last See also:part of his work he made a praiseworthy See also:attempt to acquaint the Greeks with the See also:character and See also:early history of the See also:Romans. He is reproached by See also:Pausanias (i. g. 8) with unfairness towards all rulers with the exception of Antigonus Gonatas.
