In

,
Echecrates
was the name of the following men:

, a
military officer
of

,

around 219–217 BC.
A son of
Demetrius the Fair
by
Olympias
of
Larissa
, and
brother
of

. He had a son named Antigonus after his
uncle
.
Three Pythagorean
philosophers
mentioned by Iamblichus:
* A
Locrian
, one of those to whom

is perhaps an
erroneous
reading for Echecrates.

Ninth Letter
.
