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.

 The Diadochi: The liberation of Athens
It was an important event in the Fourth War of the Diadochi (the successors of Alexander the Great), because Demetrius and his father were called kings.
This was less hypocritical than it may sound: Antigonus wanted the Greek towns as allies, which was in the realm of the possible, and not as subjects, which had proven to be an impossibility.
In the battle of Crannon, Antipater defeated them (5 September 322); he had placed a garrison in Athens and put an end to the democracy.

 THE FAMILY IN ARISTOTLE
In his final reflection on the relation of ruler and ruled (archon, archomenon) at the end of book one, Aristotle decides that master and slave is really more like that between the rational and irrational (co-rational?) elements within the human soul.
At this point the koinwnia of the free male and female which constitutes the basis of the oikos is identified as the relationship of husband and wife (posis, allochos).
The archon in all these relationships is the patriarchal head of the household: he must possess the rational nature in full to perform his function as master, husband and father.

However, the latest known Babylonian record of Alexander IV is dated to 27 February 305, and the earliest of Seleucus I as king is dated to 3 Nisan year 8 = 16 April 304 (T. Boiy, [forthcoming] 22) showing that Seleucus I assumed the kingship at least a year after Salamis.
Further, even after the other diadochi had assumed the title, Cassander did not use it in his correspondence with them (Plutarch, Demetrius 18.2), even though they gave it to him.
