Re: Death Time of Olympias
But I still feel puzzled about the event from the death of Philip III&Eurydice II to the death of Olympias: 1.Part of the royal army deserted the regent and turned to Cassander because of Olympias' Terror in Macedonian? 2.If with a "Low Chronology" which Eumenes was executed in the end...

Re: Which Nicanor is the one defeated by Clitus in naval fig
I took a look at Heckel's Who's Who. He is in agreement with Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology that it's the Nicanor who served under Cassander. It is most definitely Cassander's garrison commander of Munychia. Diodorus 18.72.3-4: After Cleitus had sailed to the Hellespo...

Which Nicanor is the one defeated by Clitus in naval fight?
I thought it's the Cappadocian satrap,later satrap of Media,killed by Seleucus after his return to Babylon.
The wikipedia is picked up from "Smith, William's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology" which with hordes of errors and I'm not going to trust.I need your ideas.

What's the result of Peucestas?
Jona Lendering says that he became a general of Demetrius,but how could it be?His position was even higher than Antigonus I and he defeated Peithon of Media early. I mailed to him to ask for the source or reference but I'm not replied by now. I personally guess he share the same fate of Peithon mayb...

Re: Why did Alexander spare the house of Pindar at Thebes?
Pindar made a poem to praise Alexander I of Macedonia when he travelled there.That's why his house was spared.
