Lysimachus, killed in action in 281 BCE 

Not even Lysimachus would

Coretta Ha Nonsense, let me tell you the story of how I tamed my pet unicorns through the use of macguffins...

Crusader Songs and tales of your valor will permeate through history

I mean, if it involves beating a lion in a fight, it’d probably help to intimidate people?

He was gangster till then. But, maybe his son was trying to fuck him.

I'm not sure exactly how much control he had over Bithynia and Pontus or what Cassander got for his part in the war. From what I can gather, the main reward for Cassander was getting his brother Pleistarchus placed in power in Cilicia. I will have to do more research on the early history of Pontus.

Thersites the Historian didn’t Cassanders brother also get control of Caria and after he was ousted from Cilicia in 300 BC he ruled solely in caria?

@@ChevyChase301 I'm not sure. I need to research Pleistarchus and do a video just on him at some point, so that will be something that I will be investigating.

we are macedonians u arnt greek go away

chris lol

Soon. Working on the text of the video now, in fact.

It may have been a matter of necessity as he may not have had many talented and reliable commanders to all upon. That being said, one would think that he would work to cultivate talented subordinates.

Even though you lost to Caesar, you did a great job!

Phyrrus bravery was matched to that of achilles

@@jevoudraisphoque997 I tried, but got peer pressured by some idiots.

Андрій Маслюк or his realm was the most unstable of them all and was forced to bloody his hands more often.

Cassander also had an act for murdering anyone that could possibly even 15 years down the line, fuck him over lol. Most notably Alexander IV and Heracles(Alexander’s sons) including their mothers

Joey Kevorkian yeah lol. Great potential but very unruly

Well, when he was sent to Thrace,, it was sort of exile for him. Poor country where his retinue was always outnumbered by hordes of unruly barbarians. Id like to think of him as colonel Kurtz (Apocalypse Now), lol.

I'm not sure that information is readily available, although there may be some archaeological surveys with some broad estimates. In terms of food, that can be collected as a tax in kind, imported in bulk by sea, or appropriated locally. Most of the pay distributed by the Successors was taken from existing Persian stockpiles at their various treasure houses and it took most of the 2nd Century BCE for those to finally out of coin.

I did feel like the views on this one were a bit low. I guess that would explain it. I'm not sure what causes videos to appear or not appear in subscription lists.

Thersites the Historian that sucks, speaking that this is the most informative lecture on Lysimachus that’s in RU-vid. If you don’t mind, could you share the best Ancient sources on the diadochi? Keep up the good work

i dont know if its too obvious but you have to kill people to conquer

More swell than when it rains on Strymon.

Yes. The Molossians/Epirotes were a minor power, but they had a claim to the Macedonian throne because of their marriage into the Argead house.

@@ThersitestheHistorian the succession of macedon is more consistent than i expected, or as i have been taught, definitely made the hellenistic era more interesting, I wonder if it'll ever catch on like the roman empire did
