Son of Agathocles, a Thessalian from Crannon, whom Theopompus describes as a flatterer of Philip II. He was presumably not as humble as Theopompus claims. Agathocles and his sons were granted Macedonian citizenship and Lysimachus was educated at the court in Pella. Brother of Philip and Autodicus, though a third brother, Alcimachus, is not positively identified as such. Born perhaps as early as 362/1, Lysimachus may have been appointed Somatophylax already during the reign of Philip II. Justin's claim that he was 74 when he died at Corupedium must be treated with suspicion, since this would make Lysimachus too young to have accompanied Alexander from the beginning of the expedition as a pais basilikos."

"Near Sangala in India some 1,200 of Alexander's troops were wounded, among them Lysimachus the Somatophylax. He had earlier boarded a thirty-oared vessel at the Hydaspes (in the company of two other Somatophylakes), before the battle with Porus, though his role in the actual battle is not attested; presumably he fought in the immediate vicinity of Alexander himself. When Alexander decided to sail down the Indus river system to the Ocean, Lysimachus was one of those from Pella charged with a trierarchy in the Attic fashion. He is named by Arrian in the only complete list of Somatophylakes. At Susa in spring 324, Lysimachus and the rest of the Somatophylakes were crowned by Alexander, though unlike Leonnatus, Lysimachus appears to have earned no special distinction."

"In 323 Lysimachus was assigned control of Thrace, and was probably strategos rather than satrap. The subordinate position of strategos may account for the failure of the sources to mention Lysimachus in the settlment of Triparadeisus; his brother Autodicus was, however, named as a Somatophylax of Philip III at that time."
