Diadochi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Diadochi, the plural of Diadochus, is the common Latin form of the Greek Διάδοχοι, transcripted Diadochoi, which in general means "successors", such that the neoplatonic refounders of Plato's Academy in Late Antiquity referred to themselves as diadochi (of Plato). |
 | | Specifically, in hellenistic history, the Diadochi were the rival successors to Alexander the Great, also called Epigonoi (Greek: Επίγονοι), and their Wars of the Diadochi followed Alexander's death. |
 | | After great battles at Paraitacene in 317 BC and at Gabiene in 316 BC, Eumenes was eventually betrayed and murdered by his own troops in 315 BC, leaving Antigonus in undisputed control of the Asian territories of the Empire. |
