Amyntas

Macedonian soldier
Years: 390BCE - 330BCE

Amyntas (dies 330 BCE) is a Macedonian officer in Alexander the Great's army, son of Andromenes from Tymphaia.

After the battle of the Granicus, 334 BCE, when the garrison of Sardis is quietly surrendered to Alexander, Amyntas is the officer sent forward to receive it from the commander, Mithrenes.

Two years after, 332, we again hear of him as being sent into Macedonia to collect levies, while Alexander after the siege of Gaza advances to Egypt; and he returns with them in the ensuing year, when the king is in possession of Susa.
