Alexander II of Epirus

Alexander II (Greek: Άλέξανδρος) was a king of Epirus, and the son of Pyrrhus and Lanassa, the daughter of the Sicilian tyrant Agathocles.

By their assistance and that of his own subjects, who entertained a great attachment for him, he recovered Epirus.

[4] Beloch places the death of King Alexander II "about 255", and supports this date with an elaborate chain of reasoning.

[5] On the death of Alexander, Olympias assumed the regency on behalf of her sons, and married Phthia to Demetrius.
