Arsinoe herself fled from the city. Very probably Ceraunus allowed her to escape, since, as she herself had no claim to the throne, any open violence offered to her would have been a gratuitous crime, which would have increased, unnecessarily, the odium that would naturally attach to Ceraunus's proceedings.
Now, however, a deputation suddenly appeared at Ceraunus's capital, to say that they were prepared for an invasion of his dominions, and asking him how much money he would give for peace. Ceraunus, in the pride of his newly-established power, treated this proposal with derision.
Transfer of the quarrel from Egypt to Macedon. Lysandra. Envy and hatred of Arsinoe. Lysandra's husband imprisoned. Danger of her children. Lysandra's flight. An army raised. Desperate battle. Ptolemy Ceraunus. His reckless and desperate character. Alliance of Ceraunus with Seleucus. His plans. Ceraunus's meditated treachery. Argos. Ceraunus proceeds to Macedon. His rivals and enemies.
Seleucus seems to have had no suspicion of this design, for he advanced into Thrace, on his way to Macedon, without fear, and without taking any precautions to guard himself from the danger of Ceraunus's meditated treachery. At length he arrived at a certain town which they told him was called Argos.
