The Battle of Argos took place in 272 BC between the forces of Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, and a coalition made up of the city-state of Argos, the army of Sparta under King Areus, and the army of Macedonia under King Antigonus Gonatas. Pyrrhus was one of the great generals of the Hellenistic Age and the Battle of Argos marks his final defeat and death. A death which certainly was not as glorious or heroic as one might expect.
