Lysimachus
3. One of the tutors of Alexander the Great, was an Acarnanian by birth. Though a man of very slender accomplishments, he ingratiated himself with the royal family by calling himself Phoenix, and Alexander Achilles, and Philip Peleus; and by this sort of flattery, he obtained the second place amongthe youngprince's tutors. (Plut. Alex. 5.)
