Antigonus II ruled until his death in 239 BC, and his family retained the Macedonian throne until it was abolished by the Romans in 146 BC.

The Antigonids of Macedonia controlled the city-states of Greece by keeping strong garrisons at those three cities.
The city of Corinth subdued the Peloponnesian peninsula; the Phocians, Locrians and Boetians were regulated by Chalcis; and the Thessalians were dominated by the city of Demetrius.
The fact that the Antigonids never conquered Greece, and instead only controlled it, suggests that it was essential to their own security and imperative that they be the power that ruled Greece.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.03.11
Appendix II has the genealogical tables of the Antigonids, Ptolemies and Seleucids, although it is disappointing that S. goes down only to Ptolemy V and Seleucus III and Antiochus III.
In 2, we move from conditions in fourth-century Greece and a brief treatment of Alexander's conquests, through the wars of his Successors, to the establishment of the Antigonid dynasty thanks to Antigonus II Gonatas and his victories over the Gauls.
My criticism of this chapter is that it begins with a survey of the reigns of Philip II and Alexander and the Successor disputes again (as they affect Macedon), and I would have preferred this material (or at least the treatment of Philip and Alexander) in the second chapter.
