	Polyperchon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polyperchon (394–303 BC) was a Macedonian general who served under Philip II and Alexander the Great, accompanying Alexander throughout his long journeys.
		Upon Antipater's death in 319, Polyperchon was appointed regent and supreme commander of the entire empire but soon fell into conflict with Antipater's son Cassander, who was to have been his chief lieutenant.
		Although Polyperchon was initially successful in securing control of the Greek cities, whose freedom he proclaimed, his fleet was destroyed by Antigonus in 318 BC, and Cassander secured control of Athens the next year.

		On his death bed, he made Polyperchon regent and supreme commander (D 18.47.4 and 18.48.4); Antipater's son Cassander was to be his chiliarch (D 18.48.5) However, the latter was not content with this position, organized a rebellion (D 18.49.2), was supported by king Philip's wife Eurydice, and allied himself to Ptolemy (D 18.49.3).
		In the autumn of 318, Polyperchon's navy was defeated by Antigonus' fleet at the Bosphorus, and because the navy that Eumenes was building never appeared, Polyperchon lost the control of the Aegean Sea to Antigonus.
		Polyperchon was an officer and possessed all qualities of an officer: he was courageous, loyal, and was willing to stubbornly defend a hopeless position - such as the Macedonian royal house, long after it had become clear that there was no place for the royals in the world of the Diadochi.
