'''Ptolemy of Aloros''' was an envoy, sent by King [[Amyntas III of Macedon|Amyntas III]], to [[Athens]] c. [[375 BC|375]]-[[373 BC]]. After Amyntas' death, he began a liaison with his widow, Eurydice. In [[368 BC]], he assassinated her son, his predecessor [[Alexander II of Macedon|Alexander II]] in order to gain control of the throne. This caused a stir in the families of Macedon, which called in [[Pelopidas]] of [[Thebes]] to reestablish peace. As part of the peace settlement, Philip, Alexander II's brother, was taken as hostage to Thebes.

Ptolemy ruled as a regent for [[Perdiccas III of Macedon|Perdiccas III]] until Perdiccas killed him in [[365 BC]].

It is suggested that Ptolemy was descended from Amyntas brother of Menelaus, son of [[Alexander I]].
