In 314 BCE, Cassander left him in command of a strong body of troops in Acarnania, which he had organized against the Aetolians, who favored the cause of Antigonus Monophthalmus. Lyciscus was still commanding in Acarnania in 312 BCE, when he was sent with an army into Epirus against Alcetas whom he defeated. He also took the town of Eurymnae, and destroyed it.
