Alexander, who believed he could defeat Athens on his own ground, was beaten badly by more experienced Athenian troops, many of whom had fought in Timotheus's wars in Southern Greece. Despite a slight numerical Thessalian numerical advantage, Alexander was crushed under Helmetrus's army, and was forced to make terms, freeing several political prisoners (including Timotheus) and a large reparation sum to Athens.
