@@lisboah Most were too occupied battling each other while he made sure to build an extensive relationship network in the capital city. And such thing has proven to be an invaluable asset during history. Look at the Roman Empire. Look at the French Revolution. Look at most Chinese dinasties. The moment you got a firm grasp of the capital, you could take the whole thing.
All in all Kassander gets the blame, but the other Diadochi were thinking of eventually eliminating the Argead line. Whether Antigonus, Seleukos, Ptolemy, or even Lysimachus had won the whole empire in another timeline, Alexander IV or Heracles would have been like the child emperors in China, served their purpose but now no longer necessary.
Just imagine if Kleopatra managed to escape to Egypt and make an heir for Alexander's family, name him Alexander and he reconquers the empire. Damn. We whould get so much content
Patrokles, the defender during the second siege of Babylon, was a geologist, and theorized that the Caspian sea may be a gate to a northern ocean. Demetrios of Phalerus the tyrant ousted by Demetrios Poliocrates, fled to Ptolemy and he constructed the "Great Pharos of Alexandria", (the lighthouse)
Interesting stuff. Though you probably meant the Library of Alexandria and not the lighthouse, which apparently was built about half a century later. Still nice of you to mention such an important contribution to history 🙂
15:22 , Cleopatra never married Antipater? Her only husband(on a more official scale, that actually met her after ''marrying'', and we know of) is Alexander I of Epirus.
Thank you guys for yet another excellent piece of history. I look forward to future videos regarding the Seleucids! God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
First of all: Very nice video as always! 😌 Second: Could you maybe rework / make a new series on the Napoleonic Wars and / or Seven Years War in the future please? Both are very important and interesting chapters of history. Thanks a lot!
hey kings and generals, can you do the history of the kingdom of scotland from its formation to the reign of longshanks and when it became part of the uk?
I was wondering but can you do videos on the Greco bactrian and the Indo Greek kingdoms and I am asking because I am interested in the greek peoples in India after the death of Alexander the Great.
Antigonus should have unalived Seleucus upon arrival in Babylon is 315 BC. "Selucus, grrrrreat seeing you ole buddy ole pal. Come here and give me a hug you ole so and so...Oh dear...I am such a clutz! I seem to have accidentally sunk my xiphos short sword into your thoracic cavity. Geez, that's gonna probably leave a mark. Why don't you lay down over there on the sofa and we'll get you some hemlock I mean water. I'll be right back..."
Another excellent video on this post-Alexandrian war. Only fly in the ointment is using BCE rather than BC in the dating. Come on, Kings and Generals. It is BC, not BCE.
Seleucus is the only diadochi worthy of respect. He shared Alexander's vision and was a fair monarch for the Iranians and Babylonians. The others were blinded by xenophobia and chauvinism. Racism is a Greek creation, isn't it?
It was not exliusively Greek invention- almost all of the ancient nations were racist and xenophobic i.e Jews, Armenians etc. And many of them remain as such up to today.
I am not asking sly as Selekus.... But I do make decent Mobile Legends Tutorial videos... Come by if any interested Mobile Legends enthusiasts is here....
Where is this "orient" and "asia" I bet you can't know the difference between Persians, East Med Aeabs and any Southern Europeans. They all look the same. Their history is the same. Their ancient gods were the same

@@TheREPPIX he joined his mother city tyre but a more interesting idea is before zama hannibal requested aid from the phonecians, seleucids, and antigonid macedon for aid. It would've been a monster of a coalition only rivaled by the one to overthrow napoleon.
@@lisboah true but look at the other wars with the greeks the roman had, like pyrrhus was defeated in 3 battles, Phillip V was beaten in 2 battles, and Perseus II was beaten solely at cynocephale. Its astounding the seleucids could field 3 armies to fight the romans. Also antiochus lost in Asia to the scipio Brothers so there isn't much shame in losing to some of rome's best.
"Greeks could rule the world. Alexander did. He took a Greek army to the far Indus. There was nothing left to conquer; the world was his. But Alexander is dead. His empire is gone. And so we live in evil days; the free men of Greece have turned on each other, instead of their proper enemies: those who envy all the Greeks have done. Alexander must weep, if the dead weep. I will weep in his place, but I will also hope. The world turns; what was may come again. The Fates still spin the web of men's lives. So now, perhaps the gods wish Greeks to be great again. Perhaps a new Alexander will take up the sword, bring order where there is chaos, remake the world of men into a better place...perhaps." Greek campaign intro speech from Rome: Total War
How did you cope with the abysmal source situations? Books I've read on the subject mostly just skip it and note there's nothing that be said with any confidence.
@@QuantumHistorian There's a pillar Seleukos has commissioned after the war that explained his point of view of the war. While parts of it were destroyed due to time and wars over that time, what historians have been able to decipher has been key to understanding the Babylonian War. Add to that the sparse Greek sources we have and speculations from modern historians and tacticians and you're able to get a more in depth picture than you'd expect.
This is why you always have an up to date will. Leaving your beneficiaries to figure out who the strongest amongst them is tends not to work out so great.
How likely is it that Seleukos simply didn't get the memo about the peace between the Diadochi, because he was out campaigning to consolidate his power and the message never reached him or sth? And then when he never showed up for the meeting, they just assumed that he had made a statement by not attending, and that it was war. I like that you used the music from the opening cutscene in Rome: Total War: Alexander for the intro btw
Amazingly done as always but I would like to ask a question to you I've looked at all of your videos you haven't done any video on the neo Babylonian Empire and there wars against Egyptians Assyrians Phoenicians Jews and Arabia and also I've always had a question it is said that Nebuchadnezzar went with his troops to Lydia if you could describe why in your video it would be amazing so why have you not made any video on such a fascinating empire is my main question?
And because of the greed of a few men vying for ultimate power, who saw themselves as the next Alexander, the Greeks fought amongst themselves to the breaking point, allowing the slave-state of Roma to rise.
That is indeed correct; however Seleukos and Apama claimed she was Darius's daughter to gain political legitimacy in Persia and the broader region (as mentioned in the narration). It was part of a broader strategy; essentially what is outlined in the video in terms of buying out local support and using existing social networks present in Persia and Media from the Achaemenid period.
@@ChrisTheLoneWanderer Actually makes you think of what Apama herself thought of that, or perhaps if it was her own idea. Shame that we don't have anything on her character or role (or actually relationship with Seleucos, them maintaining their marriage could indicate a very interesting personal story).
@@reginageorge4 No, Seleucus was defeated as far as I know. You mix up with the people that say that Porus defeated Alexander, which is (at least very probably) wrong. The guy has probably a chip on his shoulder but he is AFAIK correct.
so happy to hear more about my bro Antigonos the cyclop. I love how deep these videos go, and the fact everything is even deeper and that the truth will never be fully known makes it even more mystical
We all can see where Eastern Rome inherited its court politics from. After studying Hellenistic Kingdoms i believe it is not so mad to claim that ERE was the last Successor Kingdom. An Antony and Cleopatra revenge on Octavian from the grave.

The map is a little inaccurate, Nikomedia wasn't founded until 264 BC (half a century after this timeline) and was actually called Astacus during this period. Also while it is true Byzantium existed during this period, Lysimachos founded his capital of Lysimachia ca. 309 BC which lay more west of Byzantium
It is very sad that , WE , the Greeks were killing each other for more than 250 years! After the Greek king Alexander died , we started killing each other for 50 years AND when the romans came at 280 b.c. we continiue fighting each other for 200 years and at the same time , we were fighting the Romans! Very sad and stupid by us! To say all the truth , the Greeks were killing each other for 250 years AND at the same time we were fighting , the INDIANS , the PARTHIANS , the ROMANS and the YIGIN (nomad tribes from china and mogolia). So sad that we were so stupid! So sad!

Diadochi: Killing each other and fighting massive wars
Lysimachus (so far): Stays in Thrace twiddling thumbs and biding time
I think he has some clashes with the Dacian and Thracian tribes, but, overall, relatively calm
"Somehow, Nikator has returned."
"To you, killing Alexander's son was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was only Tuesday."
Okay, general Bison
