Lamian War - Greeks Rebel Against the Diadochi - Alexander's Successors
Jan 16, 2024 #Documentary #Alexander #Diadochi Kings and Generals animated documentary series on the history of Ancient World and Ancient Greece continues with the first video in the wars of the Diadochi - successors of Alexander of Macedon. Previously, we have covered Alexander's conquest of Persia (https://youtu.be/ApZf0BaaTmo) and his campaign in India, as well as his reforms, plans and death (https://youtu.be/XXK-vN1J61w). In the aftermath of his death, his generals - the Diadochi, started dividing his empire during the Council of Babylon and deciding who will rule the empire. Meleager's coup attempt failed and he was killed. To the west, the Greek city-states led by Athens rebelled against Antipater, leading to the Lamian War, while in Asia, Ptolemy famously stole Alexander's body, striking one of the first blow of the coming war.
