Peucestas Demadid

Peucestas Demadid (299 - 225 BC) was a close friend to Seleukos II and Seleukid commander during the Second Seleukid-Antigonid War. He led the Seleukid armies in Cappadocia early in the war, but was forced to retreat after a defeat at Herpa. His forces being better suited to desert warfare, he excelled against Anaximandros, destroying his whole force in the Syrian desert.

Later in the war he would lead his forces into Antigonid Cilicia.
