Called by Plutarch "the oldest and greatest of Alexander's
successors," Antigonos the One-Eyed (382-301 BC) was the dominant
figure during the first half of the Diadoch period, ruling most of
the Asian territory conquered by the Macedonians during his final
twenty years. Billows provides the first detailed study of this
great general and administrator, establishing him as a key
contributor to the Hellenistic monarchy and state. After a
successful career under Philip and Alexander, Antigonos rose to
power over the Asian portion of Alexander's conquests. Embittered
by the persistent hostility of those who controlled the European
and Egyptian parts of the empire, he tried to eliminate these
opponents, an ambition which led to his final defeat in 301. In a
corrective to the standard explanations of his aims, Billows shows
that Antigonos was scarcely influenced by Alexander, seeking to
rule West Asia and the Aegean, rather than the whole of Alexander's
Empire.
