Cyrrhus

Cyrrhus was a Macedonian general and king who ruled from 295 to 279 BC. He was the son of Alexander the Great and Roxana, and was born in Babylon. After Alexander's death in 323 BC, his empire was divided among his generals. Cyrrhus was given the satrapy of Babylon, but he later rebelled against the regency of Perdiccas and took control of Egypt. He was crowned Pharaoh of Egypt in 292 BC and ruled until 285 BC. During his reign, he faced several rebellions and was eventually defeated by Ptolemy I Soter, who became the new Pharaoh of Egypt. Cyrrhus fled to Babylon, where he was killed in 279 BC. His reign is notable for its attempts to blend Greek and Egyptian cultures, as well as for his military campaigns against the Seleucid Empire.
