hdhdhd whyyy did plutarch not include her in his Demetrius biography....
"Lanassa could not accept her husband's polygamous lifestyle, and so she left Pyrrhus in 291 BC, went to Corcyra, and offered this island as dowry to Demetrius I Poliorcetes, then king of Macedonia, if he would become her new husband. The courted diadoch came to Corcyra, married Lanassa, and occupied the island.[3]"
What's funny about this wikipedia entry is that Demetrius was ALSO polygamous as well as notorious for his many affairs even outside of that. She was his 4th wife. Polygamy can't possibly have been why she dumped Pyrrhus... hm.
