 Clitus the White
Clitus the White (in Greek Kλειτoς Λευκoς; died 318 BC) was an officer of Alexander the Great surnamed "White" to distinguish him from Clitus the Black.
In the distribution of provinces at Triparadisus, 321 BC, he obtained from Antipater the satrapy of Lydia; and when Antigonus was advancing to dispossess him of it, in 319 BC, after Antipater's death, he garrisoned the principal cities, and sailed away to Macedonia to report the state of affairs to Polyperchon.
In 318 BC, after Polyperchon had been baffled at Megalopolis, he sent Clitus with a fleet to the coast of Thrace to prevent any forces of Antigonus from passing into Europe, and also to effect a junction with Arrhidaeus, the satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia, who had shut himself up in the town of Cius.
