	Diadochi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In general, the word Diadochi (Διάδοχοι) means "successors" in Greek, such that the neoplatonic refounders of Plato's Academy in Late Antiquity referred to themselves as diadochi (of Plato).
		But although Cassander was tempted to conclude peace with Antigonus, in Asia the war turned against the one-eyed general, with Ptolemy invading Syria (and defeating Antigonus' son, Demetrius Poliorcetes, in the Battle of Gaza, 312 BC) and Seleucus securing control of Babylon, and thus, of the eastern reaches of Alexander's empire.
		In the modern Kingdom of the Hellenes, established in 1832 after Greece attained independence from the Ottoman empire (1830), under a Bavarian dynasty, the title of Diadochos was revived as particular style for the heir to the constitutional royal throne, as unique as dauphin in France (but not linked to any territory).
