I'm certainly no student of ancient history, regardless I found Jeff Champion's chronology of the Successor Wars to be an engaging read. I guess heaps of political intrigue, war and Machiavellian treachery make for a rather engaging history lesson.This chronicle is based on ancient narratives from the period written by Diodorus, Justin and others which Champion is careful to note are apocryphal and therefore not perfect records of events. However, collectively these documents tell a reasonably accurate story of the times and it is quite a story. Some of the shenanigans described would seem perfectly at home in today's tabloids. Sex, murder and political double crossing were apparently as common then as they are today.This is a painless history lesson for would be historians since the author has done all of the heavy lifting for the reader and we get to enjoy a very user friendly narrative about the ancient world just after the death of Alexander the Great. Enjoy!
This is a well-written account of the career of one of Alexander's successors. The history of the fifty years or so after Alexander's death is fascinating, although our understanding of this period is incomplete due to the limited number of surviving sources; nonetheless, the author does a good job piecing together what is known, but also describes what is not known, and provides plausible theories about what happened during the gaps.Because there is very little information about administrative matters, etc, this book focuses on military and diplomatic topics, and provides good accounts (including maps) of most of the battles. The author also does a good job of describing the ever-shifting diplomatic status, as kings, generals, cities, wives, etc. changed sides, and then changed sides again. And again... The ever-shifting balance of power is one of the things that make this era so interesting.Finally, the author also includes an appendix which describes and critiques the various surviving ancient sources, including which sources are believed to be based on which other sources, etc. Pretty helpful and interesting.Overall, a highly recommended book about a fascinating historical figure and era.
After unexpected death of Alexander the Great of Macedon, his generals and friends quickly divided his empire in order to carve newly created states for themselves. Although some generals tried to preserve the empire unity (not for Alexander's son, but rather for themselves), they all failed because there was no second Alexander among them.This book is devoted to the life, career and death of one of such generals - Antigonus the One-Eyed. When the main Macedonian army moved to Persian proper and India, Antigonus was left in Asia Minor to guard communications between the rapidly advancing army and Europe (Macedon, Greece) from where reinforcements were arriving. At this post, he distinguished himself and it is not surprising that after Alexander's death in Babilon he was able to claim a sizeable portion of the empire for himself.Being not content with what he obtained, he carried the grand design to unite pieces of the empire and to rule it as a king equal in glory to Alexander himself. However, other rulers were also ambitious and the wars between them and Antigonus waged for many years till Antigonus was overpowered and killed in the battle of Ipsus largely due to the gravest mistake of his favorite son and heir, Demetrius (who himself was not a bad general at all) who while pursuing the enemy went too far from the main battle field and as a result he was cut off from the rest of Antigonus' forces by adversaries' elephants and was unable to come to rescue to his farther.This book is very entertaining and without dry scientific jargon. Before reading it, I had a very different opinion about Antigonus, but Jeff Champion "championed" Antigonus in my eyes. It turned out that Antigonus was a skillful general and able ruler, and, of course, the brave man who being 81 years old, died fighting.
I liked this book a lot, and have enjoyed other books on Classical subjects from the same publisher. Reading this book made me dig deeper into the Successors, the (almost exclusively) Macedonian warlords who fought each other for forty-odd years before the last of them (Seleucus) died as he had lived, by the sword. Antigonus was one of the first to go, and in retrospect he was a failure. He had a huge chunk of Alexander's empire, and he lost it all by trying to grab the lot, thereby uniting the other Successors against him. He died in battle, and his son (another Successor) barely escaped to live to fight another day (eventually his son, Antigonus's grandson, became King of Macedonia, founding a dynasty that survived over a century until it ran afoul of the Romans). However, this book makes it clear that he had no reason to settle for part of the prize. Everyone was going for broke, except Ptolemy, who made himself the King of Egypt and founded a dynasty that outlived all of the other Macedonian royal houses and ended with Cleopatra of Antony and Cleopatra fame. Looking at it now, Ptolemy was the smartest of the Successors. Seleucus was the luckiest of the Successors. But I will agree with the title of this book, and declare Antigonus the greatest of the Successors. A great general, a wise ruler, a loving father, and a man with a sense of humor (as seen in Plutarch's biography of his son Demetrius) - Antigonus is worth getting to know, and I recommend this book as a good way to do it. I entitled my review "More Interesting than Alexander," and I meant it. Alexander overthrew one empire in a couple of battles, and never lived to rule it. Antigonus, Ptolemy, Seleucus, and the rest fought, schemed, double-crossed, triumphed, lost, ruled, and murdered for decades, and truly created the Hellenistic East. They deserve to be better remembered.
