Demetrius I (337–283 BC), also called Poliorcetes (“The Besieger”), was a Macedonian nobleman, military leader, and king of Macedon (294–288 BC). He belonged to the Antigonid dynasty and was its first member to rule Macedonia. He was the son of Antigonus I Monophthalmus and Stratonice. (Source Wikipedia)
