Another GOATED production from Kings and Generals, the Diadochi period was such a fascinating period of time, with all the shifting alliances, back stabbings, and epic battles, and the best part about this is, depsite knowing who the eventual victor will be, it was such an extraordinary time period that id argue make history entertaining to learn
The original release of this was one of the reasons I subscribed to this channel many moons ago. But this remake really took this epic story and turned it to 11.
Finally. We can literally watch a compilation of Greek history from K&G from the Peloponnesian Wars all the way to the Roman Conquest Of Greece Uninterrupted! XD
Alexander to his generals in Elysium:what was the one reason you made me turn away from the east? The generals: no more war. Alexander:and the other reason you killed me? Generals: no more war Alexander: and what did you do after I died? Generals:we.....we started another war. Alexander grabs a sword and starts chasing them.
The fact that Ptolemy the Soter was the only one of the diadochi that died from natural causes at age of 85, makes him ''the strongest''. His Greek/Egyptian Kingdom was by far the greatest also, with contribution in humanity due to Alexandrian Library and Alexandrian Lighthouse. I admire Ptolemy so much!
Thanks for including the Syrian Wars in the video! A couple of points on that part: 2:48:14 The end of this war had actual effects in the sky! Ptolemy's wife Berenike II pledged to sacrifice her hair to the gods if Ptolemy returned safely from battle, which she duly did. However, the hair soon mysteriously disappeared. The court astronomer pointed to an area of the sky (which until then had been considered the tuft of Leo's tail) and said the gods had transported her hair to the heavens. The area is still known as Coma Berenices ("Berenike's hair") to this day, and it's the only one of the 88 official constellations to be named after an attested historical person. Berenike herself had led an interesting life. She was the daughter and only child of Magas of Cyrene (mentioned a few minutes before in the video), and had inherited Cyrene upon his death around 250. Her mother, Apama, the daughter of Antiochos I (thus showing the alliance between Cyrene and the Seleukids), brought in Demetrios the Fair, brother of Antigonos II Gonatas of Macedon, to be her daughter's husband. However... Berenike caught her husband and mother in bed together and had Demetrios executed and her mother exiled. She soon afterwards married Ptolemy III and thus Cyrene was re-united with Egypt. 2:59:24 The Roman envoy is said to have literally drawn a circle around Antiochos IV and told him that Rome required the answer of peace or war (if Antiochos didn't withdraw from Egypt) before Antiochos stepped across it. Antiochos had no choice but to eventually say he would not go to war with Rome over Egypt. This is considered one of the origins of the saying "line in the sand".
Sparta was a feminist laughing stock back then. Once in their prime they could rise up to 30k strong spartans from agoge.. They were 600 max these days since their conflict with thebans.
Hello everyone! I was the writer for this series, and I have to say a huge thanks to the animator and editor for making the series possible and giving it such quality! Secondly, if you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please let me know here and I'll try to reply when I can!
Maybe a stupid question, but do you know every Diadochi with family, backstabbing and battle by heart? Or do you have to sometimes look it up? I am on my second watch 40 min in, but I am overwhelmed with information.
@@ChrisTheLoneWanderer I am kind of relieved, that the experts have the same problem as me. But keep up the great work. See you in your next series, and thanks.
@@peteroderic33 Not at the moment; some of his battles are mentioned in the Fall of Sparta video my colleagues wrote, but that was about it for filling some of the gaps.
Love that quote about the classical world dying at the 1:47 mark. "The classical and achaemenid worlds are dying; and the Hellenistic world struggles to be born. Now is the time of King and Generals."
Now this is the true Game of Thrones. I need somebody to make a series surrounding these wars but don’t change anything at least not anything big. Keep it historical it’s already good like you literally can’t make this shit up.

if done correct by the right group of actors, investors, writers and director The Wars of the Diadochi as a TV series is something that may be as good a watch as I have ever seen or even dreamed about. Your series of this period of history are unmatched or even approached. Has me very interested in both the time period and how the Empires carved out by the Diadochi were ran and how they did and what became of each. Thanks so much for added interest in many of my history interests and obsessions.
Given how these Generals clearly did not like each other, it would have been interesting to be able to hear/see their war meetings when Alexander was still alive. The backstabbing must have been massive.

It's so interesting and fascinating when you make a compilation of videos and create these giant documentaries that we think are just a collection of videos, nothing special, and then you include some battles, information or interesting stories that we've never seen before in a video of their own. That's brilliant and makes us interested in watching these giant documentaries.

The full Hafez poem part in English: Let's offer flowers, pour a cup of libation, split open the skies and start anew on creation. If the forces of grief invade our lovers' veins, cupbearer and I will wash away this temptation. With rose water we'll mellow crimson wine's bitter cup; we'll sugar the fire to sweeten smoke's emanation. Take this fine lyre, musician, strike up a love song; let's dance, sing all night, go wild in celebration. As dust, O West Wind, let us rise to the Heavens, floating free in Creator's glow of elation. If mind desires to return while heart cries to stay, here's a quarrel for love's deliberation. Alas, these words and songs go for naught in this land; come, Hafez, let's create a new generation. The Hafez poem part in Persian: بیا تا گل برافشانیم و می در ساغر اندازیم فلک را سقف بشکافیم و طرحی نو دراندازیم اگر غم لشکر انگیزد که خون عاشقان ریزد من و ساقی به هم تازیم و بنیادش براندازیم شراب ارغوانی را گلاب اندر قدح ریزیم نسیم عطرگردان را شِکَر در مجمر اندازیم چو در دست است رودی خوش بزن مطرب سرودی خوش که دست افشان غزل خوانیم و پاکوبان سر اندازیم صبا خاک وجود ما بدان عالی جناب انداز بود کان شاه خوبان را نظر بر منظر اندازیم یکی از عقل میلافد یکی طامات میبافد بیا کاین داوریها را به پیش داور اندازیم بهشت عدن اگر خواهی بیا با ما به میخانه که از پای خمت روزی به حوض کوثر اندازیم سخندانیّ و خوشخوانی نمیورزند در شیراز بیا حافظ که تا خود را به ملکی دیگر اندازیم Great video and awesome poem choice.

Fantastic work here as always and very fascinating. Slightly off topic its almost strange to hear in this documentary the word suicide. So many other channels these days avoid the word like the plague so its nice to see it handled in a mature way vs saying "The general then commited ouchy bye bye"
Yessssss! But seriously, you all are amazing, went to Greece and had this described to me by a Greek professor, but it still boggles the mind. Thanks for the research/entertainment.
seriously now? in North Macedonia they speak Bulgarian because they are slavs and in Greece we speak and write greek since the time of Alexander.. you like history but you are scammed by their choice of using the name "Macedonia"? Omg..
The diadochi wars are so funny because his men were so adamant about being tired of war in foreign lands and wanting to go home, just for them to wage all out war against one another as SOON as he passed away 😂😂. New motivation huh??
Amazing work as always 🔥these longer videos are like watching a whole movie that you know will be good 😏 Must say though would love a fresh series on the mongols I know it was covered years ago but you guys have really stepped your game up since then just saying it would be 🔥
Great timing 😊 I have two 3 hours long trains rides in two days, so I have some to spend the time on 😊 And I am sure that with this video it will be enjoyable ride ❤

Too bad his descendants were hedonistic assholes.
He had a very supportive sister
He's also the one that started this whole mess. If only he didn't steal Alexander's corpse.
Antipater died of natural causes at 81 too according to this storytelling…at least that was heavily implied
And Seleukos was the only one that honored Alexander's wishes somewhat. He was the only one among the Diadochi who did not divorce his Persian wife.

Alexander : You see that land mass between those 2 entire oceans? I want that.
Silver Shields : YES STRATEGOS!!!
this whole time sparta just sat there, menacingly
Check out our video on the fall of Sparta. It was much less menacing in this period.
The Greeks fought each other. Sparta won a Pyrrhic victory and paved the way for Alexander.
Sparta was a feminist laughing stock back then. Once in their prime they could rise up to 30k strong spartans from agoge.. They were 600 max these days since their conflict with thebans.
It's like Christmas morning whenever you guys release one of these long-form documentaries
I appreciate how this video shows the personal ambitions and betrayals that led to the fragmentation of Alexander's empire.
