Archon of Pella

Archon (Ancient Greek: Ἄρχων; died 321 BC) was a Pellaeon, appointed satrap of Babylonia after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC.^[1] He is probably the same as the son of Cleinias mentioned in the Indian expedition of Alexander.^[2] He perished in 321 BC in a fight against Dokimos.^[3] An inscription in Delphi shows that Archon had taken part in both the Isthmian and Pythian Games of 333 to 332 BC, won some horse-races.
