Research Notes:
c250 BC: King of Cyrene [Ref: Dodson Egypt p279]
called Demetrius the Fair [Ref: Bennett Ptolemies Berenice-ii]
fiance of Berenice; became lover of Arsinoe (Berenice's mother) and was
killed when found with her [Ref: Dodson Egypt p279]
Justin 26.3 luridly describes how Arsinoe took Demetrius the Fair, fiance
or husband of Berenice II, as her lover, andhow he was slain when the
pair were caught in flagrante delictu, while Berenice protected her
mother. It seems likely that the rest of Arsinoe's life was short and
unpleasant [Ref: Bennett Ptolemies Apama-Arsinoe]
