	Demetrius of Pharos -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Demetrius was received warmly by the young king (whose father was also called Demetrius), becoming one of Philip's most trusted advisors.
		For Demetrius was so assiduous in keeping hot these hopes and projects in the king's mind, that Philip even dreamed of them in his sleep, and thought of nothing else but this Italian expedition.
		The motive of Demetrius in so acting was not a consideration for Philip, for he certainly did not rank higher than third in the calculations of Demetrius.
