Lipodorus
Lipodo'rus
(Λιπόδωρος) commanded a body of 3000 soldiers in the army of the Greeks, who, having been settled by Alexander the Great in the upper or eastern satrapies of Asia, revolted as soon as they heard of his death, in B. C. 323. Pithon, having been sent against them by the regent Perdiccas, found means to bribe Lipodorus, who drew off his men during the heat of the battle, and thus caused the defeat of his friends.
