Kings and Generals animated documentary series on the history of Ancient World and Ancient Greece continues with the first video in the wars of the Diadochi - successors of Alexander of Macedon. Previously, we have covered Alexander's conquest of Persia ( • Alexander of Macedon -... ) and his campaign in India, as well as his reforms, plans and death ( • Alexander: Indian Camp... ). In the aftermath of his death, his generals - the Diadochi, started dividing his empire during the Council of Babylon and deciding who will rule the empire. Meleager's coup attempt failed and he was killed. To the west, the Greek city-states led by Athens rebelled against Antipater, leading to the Lamian War, while in Asia, Ptolemy famously stole Alexander's body, striking one of the first blow of the coming war ( • Lamian War - Greeks Re... ). This led to the First War of the Diadochi in which an alliance led by Perdiccas and Eumenes faced the alliance led by Antipater and Ptolemy at the battles of Camel's Rampart, Hellespont, Orkynia and Cretopolis in 321-319 BC, which Antipater and Ptolemy won, dividing the empire again during the Partition of Triparadeisos.

His nickname was Eumenes the sly known to Philip as one of the most cunning and strategic minds of the time period. He was looked down upon by many Macedonians because of his heritage and stature. However Philip, Alexander and later Philips “Bastard” Ptolemy saw him as the most cunning man to be born during the time period.

It was pure brilliance and still politically worthless. If I remember correctly Eumenes won the battle and sent a message to Egypt to inform Perdikkas.

The neglect is pretty ancient, it goes back all the way to Augustus. By demonizing the Macedonian kings and by extension the whole Hellenistic Era, he proclaimed a new golden age for Rome, a golden age of democracy like Athens' hundred of years before. This was all propaganda to appease the Senate and the Plebeians of course, as Augustus' Rome was a Hellenistic kingdom in all but the name. Augustus was such a political monster that his propaganda went all the way to the 20th century! Go to any ''old-fashioned'' museum in Greece today, one whose collection hasn't been studied for the last 20 years, and you'll find the most egregious commentaries towards Hellenistic art, for not other reason than the period it belongs to. Fortunately, this is changing now. For the last two decades, the Hellenistic Era is finally being studied under an unbiased prism. Not to say there wasn't any good works before, I could cite a few German, French and Italian researchers who kept the interest for the period alive, though barely. But as far as I see it, the Hellenistic Era is more studied nowadays than the Classical Era, which is quite something.

One wonders about the agendas of all the great players of the Wars of the Diadochi. Some, like Ptolemy, seem to me more keen on securing a sphere of influence, and maybe expanding it a little bit over time. But others like Perdikkas seem to have wanted all of the Empire for themselves or their chosen side of the successors. With others, like Eumenes, we can just never know because sources favouring them are non-existent. On another note, I'm sure loads of these secondary characters like Seleukos and Kassander will stay secondary. No ambitions or dynasties there, no Sir-ee.

13:03 , Peithon and Arrhidaeus(a guy bearing the birth name of Philip III, but not Philip himself) were made temporary regents in Babylon until Antipater and the other generals arrived. Eurydice(Phillip III's wife) managed to play the court to her side and deposed Peithon and Arrhidaeus as regents, seeking to strengthen her and her husband's power. The short period between Peithon and Arrhidaeus' deposition and Antipater's arrival, Eurydice most likely acted as the de-facto regent on behalf of the two kings, but never proclaimed herself such. However, when Antipater arrived, he noticed this and managed to fight Eurydice's influence, convincing the council at Triparadisus to name him regent of the empire. Alexander IV and Philip III still held their positions as kings of Macedon, even if it was just a de-jure title at that point. Antipater brought both Alexander and Philip back to Macedon(together with their respective female companions{Roshanak and Eurydice}). It seems you confused Arrhidaeus the general with Arrhidaeus the King(aka Philip III). While also forgetting to mention that Antipater later became regent, even if it was for around 2 years, although it is not like most regencies during the Wars of the Diadochi lasted that long. I understand that you can't touch on every detail, but forgetting the mention of Antipater's regency is kind of needed to understand why Polyperchon was named regent after him, and subsequently Kassander(the last regent before the empire split de-jure). Also confusing the two Arrhidaeuses does leave a small gap, as this makes people think that Alexander IV is the only king left, while that isn't the case up until Phillip III's death Lastly, I want to make my own comments about this whole situation. I believe Eurydice's powerplay was a testament to her relatively adequate political maneuvering, using her position as a member of the Argead house as the main tool of her acquisition of influence. Maybe she would have been able to turn her husband into more than just a puppet king, albeit he did have a mental disability which would be a hard obstacle to overcome. Nevertheless, I don't want to stir up any argument, but simply want to correct some mistakes that might have been made by your team. Moreover I thank you for producing these 2 episodes and hope that you will continue the series, this is such an underrated period that I believe should be brought to light.

And then his son antigonus ii re-establish the his kingdom in Macedonia and antagonids rule Macedonia until romans tookover . Full underdog story.😌

The upcoming Eumenes vs Antigonos showdown is one of the great, but unfairly forgotten, campaigns in history. I can't wait to see it play out in the next episode or two! Also, why has no one ever done a Game of Thrones type series on this era? It's even bloodier, more intrigue-filled, and more lethal for major characters, than even GRRM dared to be; has the star power of having Alexander there at the start; and, on top of all that, is a true story (although obviously any such series would inevitably change things up a bit).

“Alexander, son of Philip, and the Greeks except the Lacedaimonians...” We can very well imagine how completely indifferent the Spartans would have been to this inscription. “Except the Lacedaimonians”- naturally. The Spartans weren’t to be led and ordered around like precious servants. Besides, a pan-Hellenic expedition without a Spartan king in command was not to be taken very seriously. Of course, then, “except the Lacedaimonians.” That’s certainly one point of view. Quite understandable. So, “except the Lacedaimonians” at Granikos, then at Issus, then in the decisive battle where the terrible army the Persians mustered at Arbela was wiped out: it set out for victory from Arbela, and was wiped out. And from this marvelous pan-Hellenic expedition, triumphant, brilliant in every way, celebrated on all sides, glorified as no other has ever been glorified, incomparable, we emerged: the great new Hellenic world. We the Alexandrians, the Antiochians, the Selefkians, and the countless other Greeks of Egypt and Syria, and those in Media, and Persia, and all the rest: with our far-flung supremacy, our flexible policy of judicious integration, and our Common Greek Language which we carried as far as Bactria, as far as the Indians. Talk about Lacedaimonians after that! C.P. CAVAFY "In 200 BCE"

They definitely would not have achieved as much as Alexander did himself not because they are women, but because Alexander was the pinnacle of conquest for centuries, and even to this day in the top five

If anyone wants a good look into the partitioning of Alexander’s empire, I recommend reading Robert Fabbris series of 5 books titled “Alexander’s Legacy” which starts at the time of the great kings death and the 40 years civil war which follows.

Yes. It’s great. Especially because he stays close to the sources and only adds little plots and narration to make some aspects of the time easier to understand
