Aristonous of Pella
Aristonous of
Aristonous is described as of both Pellaean[1] and Eordaean in origin,[2] which would mean that he was from Eordaea but raised at the court in Pella. According to Plutarch, a certain somatophylax, Aristophanes, took away Alexander's sword when he was quarrelling with Cleitus the Black, but this reference seems to be confused with Aristonous.
