Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'diadochi'

The successor generals who fought for control over Alexander the Great's empire following his death in 323 BCE. These military leaders, including Ptolemy, Seleucus, and Antigonus, waged the Wars of the Diadochi, fragmenting Alexander's conquered territories into separate Hellenistic kingdoms that would significantly influence Mediterranean and Near Eastern politics and culture for centuries. In alternate history scenarios, the Diadochi period offers rich potential for exploring different outcomes of these succession conflicts and their impact on the development of Western and Eastern civilizations.
