Perilaus (son of Antipater)

Perilaus (Ancient Greek: Περίλαος; fl. late 4th century BC) was a Macedonian nobleman, son of Antipater, regent of Macedon, and younger brother of Cassander. He appears to have remained in Pella with his father during Alexander's campaigns.[1] Plutarch records that Perilaus assigned himself to the management of his brother Cassander's military and domestic affairs.[2]

He may have established a dynasty in Derbe at the close of the fourth century BC and be an ancestor of Antipater of Derbe.[3][4]
