Kings and Generals animated documentary series on the history of Ancient World and Ancient Greece continues with the first video in the wars of the Diadochi - successors of Alexander of Macedon. Previously, we have covered Alexander's conquest of Persia ( • Alexander of Macedon -... ) and his campaign in India, as well as his reforms, plans and death ( • Alexander: Indian Camp... ). In the aftermath of his death, his generals - the Diadochi, started dividing his empire during the Council of Babylon and deciding who will rule the empire. Meleager's coup attempt failed and he was killed. To the west, the Greek city-states led by Athens rebelled against Antipater, leading to the Lamian War, while in Asia, Ptolemy famously stole Alexander's body, striking one of the first blow of the coming war.

I noticed one error in the beginning of the Lamian War: At 9:23 you show Krateros being besides Antipatros in Pella when the war broke out. In reality Krateros was still in Asia Minor at this point and couldn’t help the regent immideately. This was the reason why Antipater asked Leonnatos for help who disobeyed Perdikkas and abandoned his Province in order to gain victory and political influence in fighting the rebels in Greece. The guy who actually stayed in Pella after Antipatros left was Sippas who should govern Macedonia in his absence and keep the northern tribes in check. Still a great revisit of this fascinating era you did here 👍

Hey guys I’m the lead animator of this remastered series. As you all know, we’ve made Diadochi series 5 years ago with a few episodes. However, this remastered version will be longer with graphics and animation improvements. I hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned for more episodes to come. As usual here are TW:Rome II mods that we used in this series: -Orbis Terrarum 2 by Celticus -Hellenic Army reskin by Agrez -Divide et Impera Best wishes, ڤمنه ملايو

@Kili2807 4 месяца назад

A great start to the series. However, I think it's a bit of a shame that you didn't show in more detail how Perdikkas managed to end the crisis in the Macedonian army in his favor. How he managed to appease Meleagros with promises and managed to get Arrhidaeus handed over to him for safekeeping. At the army's subsequent purification ritual, Arrhidaeus (probably instructed by Perdikkas) spoke to the assembled soldiers and demanded that the ringleaders of the previous riots be punished. The men were captured, tied up and trampled to death by several elephants in a cruel spectacle. Meleagros, presumably taken completely by surprise by the turn of events, fled but was caught and immediately executed. Perdikkas is often portrayed as arrogant and incompetent, especially because of his reign in the following months, which is probably partly true. Nevertheless, the first days and weeks after Alexander's death show that he was intelligent and ruthless enough to elevate himself to the most powerful position in the empire and yet would have had a chance to establish himself as king in the long term.

This is so sick. I remember thinking we needed a major update of these events after the incredible Alexander series, and watching the older ones after I finished, wondering how it all played out but wanting a more direct continuation. Can’t wait for the rest. I remember being fascinated by some of the people involved, for instance the famous Silver Shields. Imagine getting to talk to one of those guys.

@bolggamer5542 4 месяца назад

I did a research paper on the Wars of the Diadochi 2 years ago and used you old videos as a source. Been thinking we needed an update and now we have one! Also, I'm sure you know this, but Seleucus had a pilar made to talk about his events in the story, so when you get there, that's a source you could use. I believe it was called the Diadochi Chronicle or something like that.

And it’s leaders are some of the coolest and infamous characters in history!. Regardless amazing video like always can’t wait for more !! 👍👍🤞😬

I mean its ancient Game of Thrones: You have his generals: Perdiccas the young and ambitious guy, Antipatros the old regent, Krateros the general beloved by the army, Eumenes the smart little Greek, Antigonos the one eyed Cyclops, Kassander the devious and cruel. But also powerful and influential women: Olympias the kings mother, Cynane the warrior queen, Roxane the widow …

In order one to grasp the gigantic mark of the Hellenistic age to the world has only to think this: In 1098AD Bohemond was chosen to do the night raid on the walls of Antioch because he was the only crusader leader who spoke fluent Greek and concequently could conspire with the locals.

Whenever I go to a board game convention the one game I always join is "Successors", a war for Alexander's succession. I wholeheartedly recommend it, one of the best board games I've ever played and it has a huge replayability too since each player controls two random diadochi out of roughtly 11 playable, plus 2 extra diadochi can be unlocked during the game by players lucky enought to draw correct cards. All of this makes each game unique.

By this time Nandas were already overthrown by the mauryas and Greek provinces in india were in disarrey. I think main beneficiary from Alexander's death were Ptolemy and Selucas, who got the most richest provinces. The main victims were the kingdoms of North-western India who became easy prey for the mauryan juggernaut.

@lisboah 4 месяца назад

Alexander seeing what his generals started to do shortly after his death probably thought "I executed the wrong people"

@Kili2807 4 месяца назад

Maybe not. Maybe things were going as intended. There is a prophecy Alexander reportedly said at his deathbed: „I foresee great funeral games“. Sounds pretty dark if you consider what happened in the decades afterwards

Heck yes! The Diadochoi get skipped over or rapidly summarized far too often. Glad to see this series! As I mentioned in another post, the story of the Diadochoi completely outdoes Game of Thrones in scheming, backstabbing, and sheer body count. Not to be too spoiler-y, but virtually every single person mentioned in this video is going to die violently (unless I missed someone, there are only three exceptions who won't). The video even skips over some of the earliest deaths - Roxanna (and presumably Perdikkas) had the Persian princesses previously married to Alexander and Hephaestion murdered so as to not have any rivals (Darius' daughter was rumored to be pregnant by Alexander at the time of his death).

"Ancient allegations that the Macedonians were non-Greek all had their origin in Athens at the time of the struggle with Philip II. Then as now, political struggle created the prejudice. The orator Aeschines once even found it necessary, to counteract the prejudice vigorously fomented by his opponents, to defend Philip on this issue and describe him at a meeting of the Athenian Popular Assembly as being 'ENTIRELY GREEK'. Demosthenes' allegations were lent an appearance of credibility by the fact, apparent to every observer, that the life-style of the Macedonians, being determined by specific geographical and historical conditions, was different to that of a Greek city-state. This alien way of life was, however, common to western Greeks of Epirus, Akarnania and Aitolia, as well as to the Macedonians, and THEIR FUNDAMENTAL GREEK NATIONALITY WAS NEVER DOUBTED. Only as a consequence of the political disagreement with Macedonia was the issue raised at all." Errington, Malcolm (1994). A History of Macedonia. Barnes Noble, p. 4:
