Who was taken prisoner in 316 BC (pronoun: he or she) edit
I changed:
He was subsequently the general of Olympias in the war with Cassander; and when he was taken prisoner in 316 BC, he was...
to
He was subsequently the general of Olympias in the war with Cassander; and when she was taken prisoner in 316 BC, he was...
This I changed because the original that this article quotes (Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology) has the pronoun she instead of he because it refers to Olympias, a princess ("she"), having been taken prisoner in 316 BC after which Aristonous ("he") was put to death.

Second edit: changed the pronoun in the above ("she") to Olympias so as to avoid confusion overall.
