 Diadochi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general Diadochi (in Greek Διάδοχοι, transcripted Diadochoi) 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, and their Wars of the Diadochi followed Alexander's death.

The most important of the Diadochi were Antipater and his son Cassander, Antigonus Monophthalmus and his son Demetrius Poliorcetes, Craterus, Eumenes, Leonnatus, Lysimachus, Perdiccas, Ptolemy and Seleucus.
In Egypt and its surroundings, as well as in many Aegean islands and ports, Ptolemy’s son Ptolemy II now ruled, while Antiochus I succeeded to his father Seleucus as the master of most of the Asiatic part of Alexander’s empire.
This is generally considered to be the end of the age of the Diadochi, although none of these three men was, strictly speaking, a Diadoch.
