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
Just came across this video and loved it you have a great knowledge of history and have a clear and informative voice no hesitation that's always a great trait keep it up man cant wait to see this channel grow and become as big as other history creators best of luck 👍👍👍👍
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?
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%
because that is the greek language of 2.300 years before! If you read the greek language of 1.500 years before you will undrerstand the 90% and if you read the greek language of 800 years or 1000 years before you will understand everything. It is normal! lol BUT all of those dilects are the Greek language! It is just deferend greek dilects at deferend times!
@@giannastavros4653 the Greek language has been the same dialect ever sensée it was change to Koene Greek, so it would be the same Greek 1500 years ago as it would be 500 years ago, the only difference is words that have been added through religion like Christianity
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
Antigonus the one eyed lost the big battle because off the 2600 elephants that where put in his son place so he could not help his father the sons name is Dimitrius !

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.
@Antiquity for All Agreed sir. Fine words
I love these videos so freaking much

Amazing video would love to see more of the successors explored like this
Great Video!
💯
The successor I root for the most is Ptolemy, but Antigonus and especially his son Demetrius, are some of my favorites too

👍🏿🤠👍🏿
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
This is so well made & produced.
These videos are well done!
You're Ellinka is soooo good.
Antigonus the one eyed lost the big battle because off the 2600 elephants that where put in his son place so he could not help his father the sons name is Dimitrius !
These Greek kings warring with each other and then giving the loser their troops back. =)
