Cilles (Ancient Greek: Κίλλης, romanized: Killēs) was a Macedonian Greek general of the 4th century BC.
He served Ptolemy I and was defeated by Demetrius I Poliorcetes at the Battle of Myus in 311 BC.
Cilles is a little-known historical figure, apart from his confrontation with Demetrius at the Battle of Myus, where, sent by Ptolemy to decisively crush the Antigonid, he was defeated by his adversary.
[1][2][3][4] He was described by Plutarch as being a friend of Ptolemy.
[2] His defeat led to the end of the Third War of the Diadochi.
