The naval Battle of Salamis in 306 BC took place off Salamis, Cyprus between the fleets of Ptolemy I (367 BC – 282 BC) a companion and historian of Alexander the Great of the Kingdom of Macedon in northern Greece who became ruler of Egypt and Demetrius I (337–283 BC), a Greek Macedonian nobleman, military leader, and finally king of Macedonia (294–288 BC). The battle was a complete victory for Demetrius, who destroyed or captured much of Ptolemy's fleet and army, and captured Cyprus.
