	Alexander of Pherae
		Alexander, tagus or despot of Pherae[?] in Thessaly, ruled from 369 BC to 358 B.C[?].
		Alexander's conduct caused renewed intervention; in 364 he was defeated at Cynoscephalae[?] by the Thebans, although the victory was dearly bought by the loss of Pelopidas, who fell in the battle.
		Alexander was at last crushed by the Thebans, compelled to acknowledge the freedom of the Thessalian cities and to limit his rule to Pherae, and forced to join the Boeotian league.

	Pelopidas

		Though an eclipse of the sun prevented his bringing with him more than a handful of troops, he overthrew the tyrant's far superior force on the ridge of Cynoscephalae; but wishing to slay Alexander with his own hand, he rushed forward too eagerly and was cut down by the tyrant’s guards.
