Antigonus II Gonatas repelled an invasion by this man, who was then called to Greece by the pretender Cleonymus to oust King Areus from Sparta. He first became involved in conflict on the Italian peninsula when Tarentum attacked Thurii, burned a Roman fleet in its harbor, and called in this man. Appius Claudius refused the peace terms of this man's ambassador Cineas despite the fact that the Lucanians, Samnites, and Bruttians joined this man after his victory over Rome at Heraclea, and after his death at Argos in 272, his general Milo surrendered Tarentum. He is best remembered, however, for his victory at Ausculum, and his subsequent statement. For 10 points, identify this king of Epirus, who after Ausculum remarked, "Another such victory and we are lost."
