279, and Ptolemy became capti­vated by her, Arsinoe, the daughter of Lysima­chus, in conjunction with Amyntas and Chrysip-pus, a physician of Rhodes, plotted against her; but her plots were discovered, and she was banish­ed to Coptos, or some city of the Thebais.
As Arsi­noe disapproved of this connexion, she invited De­metrius the Fair, the son of Demetrius Poliorcetes, to Gyrene, in order to become the king of the place and the husband of Berenice.
But his beauty captivated Arsinoe; and her daughter indignant at the treatment she had received, excited a con­spiracy against him, and caused him to be killed in the arms of her mother.

 Cabeiri
Cabeiri in Greek mythology, were a group of minor deities, of whose character and worship nothing certain is known.
Demetrius Poliorcetes[?], Lysimachus and Arsinoë regarded the Cabeiri with especial favour, and initiation was sought, not only by large numbers of pilgrims, but by persons of distinction.
Initiation included also an asylum or refuge within the strong walls of Samothrace, for which purpose it was used among others by Arsinoë, who, to show her gratitude, afterwards caused a monument to be erected there, the ruins of which were explored in 1874 by an Austrian archaeological expedition.

Apollo (Greek language : Απόλλων, Apóllōn; Απελλων) is a god in Greek mythology and Roman mythology mythology, the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin of Artemis (goddess of the hunt), one of the most important and many-sided of the Olympian divinities.
In the legend, as set forth in the Homeric hymn to Apollo and the ode of Callimachus to Delos, Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto.
In his youth, Apollo killed the vicious dragon Python (mythology), which lived in Delphi beside the Castalian Spring, according to some because Python had attempted to rape Leto while she was pregnant with Apollo and Artemis.This was the spring which emitted vapors that caused the Oracle at Delphi to give her prophesies.
