Diadochi
When
Alexander the
Great died in 323 BC, he left a huge empire. The guys who
took over after Alex was gone are also called the diadochi.
Diadochus is singular, diadochi plural.
Originally Greek, the word means successor. Some people also
spell it diodochoi or diadochoi. Take your pick.
The main Diadochi were
Antigonus
(Asia Minor)
Seleucus (Babylon)
Cassander (Macedonia)
Lysimachus (Thrace)
Ptolemy I (Egypt)
Antigonus was removed from the list by
means of the
Battle
of Ipsus in 301.
