king See also:Agis had risen against Macedonia. Having settled affairs in Thrace as well as he could, Antipater hastened to the See also:south, and in a battle near See also:Megalopolis (331) gained a See also:complete victory over the insurgents (Diodorus xvii. 62). His regency was greatly troubled by the ambition of See also:Olympias, See also:mother of Alexander, and he was nominally superseded by Craterus. But, on the See also:death of Alexander in 323, he was, by the first See also:partition of the See also:empire, See also:left in command of Macedonia, and in the Lamian See also:War, at the battle of Crannon (322), crushed the Greeks who had attempted to re-assert their See also:independence. Later in the same See also:year he and Craterus were engaged in a war against the Aetolians, when the See also:news arrived from See also:Asia which induced Antipater to conclude peace with them; for Antigonus reported that See also:Perdiccas contemplated making himself See also:sole See also:master of the empire. Antipater and Craterus accordingly prepared for war against Perdiccas, and allied themselves with See also:Ptolemy, the See also:governor of See also:Egypt. Antipater crossed over into Asia in 321; and while still in See also:Syria, he received See also:information that Perdiccas had been murdered by his own soldiers. Craterusfell in battle against See also:Eumenes (Diodorus xviii. 25-39). Antipater, now sole regent, made several new regulations, and having quelled a See also:mutiny of his troops and commissioned Antigonus to continue the war against Eumenes and the other partisans of Perdiccas, returned to Macedonia, where he arrived in 320 (See also:Justin xiii. 6). Soon after he was seized by an illness which terminated his active career, 319. Passing over his son See also:Cassander, he appointed the aged See also:Polyperchon regent, a measure which gave rise to much confusion and See also:ill-feelin4 (Diodorus xvii., xviii).
