After spending 11 years as a mercenary captain in Crete, he defeated the Aetolians as a cavalry commander for the Achaean League in 210/9 BC, and became a general in the Achaean League in 208/7 BC. He introduced Macedonian equipment and phalanx tactics to the League's army, crushed the Spartan army under Macanidas at Mantinea in 207 BC, and defeated Nabis of Sparta in 206/5 and 201/0 BC.
