Lycophron (Ancient Greek: Λυκόφρων), son of Jason of Pherae, was a co-tyrant of Pherae (355/4-352 BC), ruling alongside his brother Peitholaus. He was also one of the murderers of Alexander of Pherae.[1]
Lycophron and Peitholaus succeeded their elder brother Tisiphonus as co-tyrants of Pherae in c. 355/4 BC.
In 352 BC, Lycophron and Peitholaus surrendered Pherae to Philip II of Macedon and fled with 2000 mercenaries to Phayllus, the Phocian leader.[2] While in exile, Lycophron and Peitholaus supported Spartans in the Peloponnese, supplying them with 150 cavalry.[3]
