Lysimachus of Acarnania

'''Lysimachus of [[Acarnania]]''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Λυσίμαχος, ''Lysimachos'') was one of the tutors of [[Alexander the Great]]. Though a man of very slender accomplishments, he ingratiated himself with the royal family by calling himself [[Phoenix (son of Amyntor)|Phoenix]], and Alexander [[Achilles]], and Philip [[Peleus]]; and by this sort of flattery, according to [[Plutarch]], he obtained the second place among the young prince's tutors.
