Successors
Eumenes
Alexander's former secretary, relied heavily on this association after his death
-
but after the Triparadisus Settlement of 321BC, Eumenes was an enemy of the new regime under Antipater, and Antigonus in Asia
-
-
he led a hard-fought campaign against Antigonus but was eventually betrayed by his soldiers and given over to Antigonus, who executed him in the winter of 316-15BC
-
Cassander
war broke out between Cassander and Polyperchon, and Antigonus and Ptolemy supported the former
Polyperchon allied with Eumenes but was driven out of Macedon by Cassander, and fled to Epirus with infant Alexander IV and his mother Roxana
in Epirus he allied with Olympias and together they invaded Macedon again, met by an army commanded by King Philip Arrhidaeus (mentally impaired) and this wife Eurydice. This army immediately defected
so the king and Eurydice were left to Olympias, who had them killed in 317BC
but soon after, Cassander was victorious, as he captured and killed Olympias, attained control of Macedon, and thus Alexander IV and his mother
yet in 310BC, Cassander secretly murdered Alexander IV and Roxana
Antipater
adviser to King Phillip, and then Alexander
-
during the Babylon Settlement, Antipater was confirmed as General of Greece, whilst Perdiccas got the role of Regent of the Empire
after Perdiccas' murder, through the Partition of Triparadisus, Antipater was made Regent of the Empire and retained control of Europe.
Antipater died in 319BC, and named Polyperchon as his successor as Regent, instead of his own son Cassander
Craterus
infantry and naval commander under Alexander, yet after the revolt at Opis in 324BC, Alexander ordered Craterus to command the veterans as they returned to Macedonia
Craterus arrived at Cilicia in 323BC, where he received news of Alexander's death. He was too far from Babylon
the news of Alexander's death caused the Greeks to rebel in the Lamian War, and Craterus and Antimatter defeated the rebellion in 322BC. Only ended when Craterus turned up
killed in a battle in Asia Minor, in which Eumenes defeated rebels
Antigonus
given the satrapies of Phrygia, Lycia and Pamphylia in the Babylon Settlement by Perdiccas
After death of Perdiccas, he kept his territories and added Lycaonia
Antigonus was charged with the task of finding Eumenes, for he had formerly supported Perdiccas
he was the leader of the largest army east of the Hellespont, so held much control in Asia, whilst Antipater held control in Europe
Perdiccas
Regent of the Empire, ability to appoint satraps, which he did strategically to distance his rivals
when news came about that Perdiccas planned to marry Cleopatra, Antipater, Craterus, Antigonus and Ptolemy joined in rebellion against him
Perdiccas attempted to invade Egypt to get back Alexander's body, but his invasion failed and his own generals turned against him and killed him
