Menyllus

Menyllus was a Macedonian, who was appointed by Antipater to command the garrison which he established at Munychia after the Lamian War, 322 BC. He is said by Plutarch [1] to have been a just and good man, and to have sought as far as possible to prevent the garrison from molesting the Athenians. He was on friendly terms with Phocion, upon whom he in vain sought to force valuable presents. On the death of Antipater, b.c. 319, he was replaced by Nicanor. [2]

gollark: I am in fact FINE with the monadoforms!
gollark: Not even that! It just doesn't seem to be able to even have, well, any cool combinators.
gollark: Some offense.
gollark: Anyway, this is not a great game and not λ-calculusy thus I do not like it.
