Amazing. Alexanders father really set up the dream team. Most capable of leaders. Alexander had so many great generals and to be called the best of the best he deally mustve been on another level to stand out so high among so many competent men. Im fascinated by alexander and all of the diadochi and love learning about their personalities. Great j9b

It frustrates me that I can’t fully comprehend Ancient Greek as a a Greek person, I understand 20% of the sentence for a certainty, can decipher the other 50% with 90% accuracy but am at a loss for the remaining 30%

Legend of the Cyclops lives on. Excellent presentation, sire! Glory to you who gives life to words and can even give them their original language! I do love the Successors, but which do you adore?

I have to say Antigonus is my favourite, but I have huge respect for Eumenes for his accomplishments.

The successor I root for the most is Ptolemy, but Antigonus and especially his son Demetrius, are some of my favorites too

Antigonus might win the "ambitious" category, but Ptolemy was definitely the most cunning of the diadochi. Stealing the giant mock-mausoleum wagon containing Alexander the Great's coffin and smuggling it back to Egypt, was by far one of the most daring and fruitful single endeavors that any one of Alexander's generals achieved after his death. It made Ptolemy a living legend among the Alexander the Great's army, and to this day, Alexander's tomb has never been found. ⚰️

Mine would be Cassander, despite ordering the assassination of Alexander IV he was able to stabilize Macedon during his reign and found the city of Thessaloniki. It was only after his death and that of his oldest son that his two youngest querlled and create a era of chaos which lasted until Antigonos II Gonatos took over

you forgot the part where the athenians let his son down and said go to hell when he needed help. That after calling him savior god.

Demetrius had a habit of becoming a jerk whether it was to the athenians or to his own troops later against pyrrhud
