Pyrrhus, the son of Aeacides, king of Epirus, and a second cousin of Alexander the Great, was born in 319 BC. When he was two years old, his father was overthrown. Pyrrhus miraculously escaped and was taken to the court of Glaucias, king of the Illyrian Taulantians. Ten years later, the power in Epirus changed again, and Pyrrhus ascended to his father’s throne at 12. Five years later, Pyrrhus went to the wedding of one of Glaucias’s sons. But during his absence, a coup occurred, and Neoptolemus became king of Epirus. Unable to return home, Pyrrhus joined Demetrius Poliorcetes, a participant in the ongoing Fourth War of the Diadochi. In 301 BC, Pyrrhus participated in his first major battle at Ipsus.
