Aeacides may also refer to Peleus, son of Aeacus, or Achilles, grandson of Aeacus.
Background
Aeacides (Greek: Aἰακίδης. Died 313 British Columbia), king of Epirus (331-316, 313 British Columbia), was a son of king Arymbas and grandson of king Alcetas I.
Aeacides married Phthia, the daughter of Menon of Pharsalus, by whom he had the celebrated son Pyrrhus and two daughters, Deidamia and Troias.
Career
In the following year he marched to the assistance of Olympias, who was hard pressed by Cassander. But the Epirots disliked the service, rose against Aeacides, and drove him from the kingdom. Pyrrhus, who was then only two years old, was with difficulty saved from destruction by some faithful servants.
