Get a free quote from Lumerit: Alexander the Great of Macedon is probably one of the most influential military commanders in the world history, but his dominance was relatively short and soon after his demise the Successors of Alexander - the Diadochi started fighting over his empire. In a way, the long struggle between Perdiccas, Antipater, Antigonus, Seleucus, Eumenes, Ptolemy, Demetrius, and others had an even bigger impact on the history of Europe and Asia. This video covers the First War of the Diadochi and struggle between two factions - one led by Perdiccas and Eumenes and the second by Antipater, Antigonus, and Ptolemy. This conflict ushered the five-decade long conflict which fractured the Hellenistic world. The script was developed and narrated by our friend Tristan Hughes.
