Antipater's Dynasty

Hardback

John D Grainger

When Alexander the Great went to campaign in Asia he left behind his general Antipater to govern Macedon. In this book’s first part Grainger explains how Antipater fulfilled that role, continued as regent after Alexander’s death and brokered a settlement between the king’s rival Successors. The remaining chapters focus on Antipater’s children – not only the rule of his son Kassander but also his daughters’ powerful influence as wives of kings.
