No, he attacked Sparta but got beaten back, then assaulted Argos, which was defended by Antigonus and his son, whose name I forgot. Phyrus participated in the actual fighing and at one point cornered a young Argive soldier. The soldier's mother (who, like the other women, had taken refuge on the rooftops) saw her son being attacked, grabbed a rooftile, and hurled it at Phyrus. Phyrus was momentarily stunned, allowing the young soldier to finish him of. Phyrus' body was decapitated by a Celtic or Thracian mercenary and brought to Antigonus' son, who brought in in thriump to his father. Antigonus berated his son for this barbarism, but I don't know what he did with the grisly trophy.
