Talk:Aristonous of Pella

Who was taken prisoner in 316 BC (pronoun: he or she)

edit

I changed:

  He was subsequently the general of Olympias in the war with Cassander; 
  and when he was taken prisoner in 316 BC, he was...

to

  He was subsequently the general of Olympias in the war with Cassander; 
  and when she was taken prisoner in 316 BC, he was...

This I changed because the original that this article quotes (Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology) has the pronoun she instead of he because it refers to Olympias, a princess ("she"), having been taken prisoner in 316 BC after which Aristonous ("he") was put to death.

Second edit: changed the pronoun in the above ("she") to Olympias so as to avoid confusion overall.
