Alexander (Ancient Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος) was tagus or despot of Pherae in Thessaly, and ruled from 369 to c. 356 BC. Following
the assassination of the tyrant Jason of Pherae, in 370 BC, his brother Polydorus ruled for a year, but he was then poisoned
by another brother, Alexander. Alexander governed tyrannically and was constantly seeking to control Thessaly and the kingdom
of Macedonia. He also engaged in piratical raids on Attica. Alexander was murdered by the brothers of his wife, Thebe, as
it was said that she lived in fear of her husband and hated Alexander's cruel and brutal character.
