The Defeat of Leonnatus by Antiphilus occurred during the Lamian War (323–322 BC) fought between the Greek allies who had rebelled against the Macedonian Empire, and Leonnatus, the Macedonian satrap of Phrygia, who had come to aid the regent Antipater, who was being besieged by the Greeks in Lamia. The Greeks defeated the Macedonians. The next day Antipater arrived at the field and joined with the defeated army. He decided not to fight the Greeks yet, in view of their superior cavalry, and instead retreated through the rough terrain.

  • La derrota de Leonato por Antífilo aconteció durante la guerra lamiaca (323-322 a. C.) que enfrentó a la liga de rebeldes griegos al Reino de Macedonia. Leonato, el sátrapa macedonio de Frigia, había acudido en socorro de regente Antípatro, al que los griegos rebeldes asediaban en Lamía, pero estos lo derrotaron. Los griegos abandonaron el cerco de Lamía al enterarse del avance de Leonato, despacharon el bagaje y a los civiles a Melitia y se apresuraron a marchar contra el sátrapa antes de que pudiese unir fuerzas con Antípatro.​ Los dos bandos contaban con fuerzas parejas, si bien los griegos gozaban de ventaja en caballería y por tanto en movilidad: tenían tres mil quinientos jinetes, entre ellos dos mil tesalios selectos al mando de Menón, mientras que los macedonios solamente contaban con mil quinientos. La falange se impuso al comienzo de la batalla, pero la caballería tesalia venció a la macedonia e hirió mortalmente a Leonato, que tuvo que ser retirado del campo de batalla.​ Privada de la protección de la caballería, la falange macedonia se retiró de la llanura a terreno más áspero donde no pudiese perseguirla la caballería enemiga.​ Antípatro llegó al lugar al día siguiente y unió sus fuerzas a las del derrotado Leonato. Optó por evitar plantar cara al enemigo dada la superioridad que este tenía en caballería y se retiró por lo quebrado para evitarla.​ (es)

The Greeks defeated the Macedonians. The Greeks, hearing news of Leonnatus's advance, lifted the siege of Lamia and detached their baggage train and camp followers to and advanced with their army hurried to defeat Leonnatus before Antipater's forces could join him. The Greeks and Macedonian armies were equal in number but the Greeks' 3,500 horsemen, including an elite 2,000 Thessalians commanded by Menon, against the Macedonians' 1,500 horse gave the advantage of mobility to the Greeks. When the battle began, although the Macedonian phalanx gained the advantage everywhere, the Thessalians drove off the Macedonian cavalry and Leonnatus was carried from the battlefield already mortally wounded. After their cavalry was driven back the unsupported Macedonian Phalanx retreated from the plain to difficult terrain where the enemy cavalry couldn't pursue them. The next day Antipater arrived at the field and joined with the defeated army. He decided not to fight the Greeks yet, in view of their superior cavalry, and instead retreated through the rough terrain. (en)
