Note* Amenhotep II (fl. 15th century BC), king of Egypt (reigned c. 1426-1400BC), son of Thutmose III. Ruling at the height of Egypt's imperial era,he strove to maintain his father's conquests by physical prowess andmilitary skills. Amenhotep II's upbringing was carefully guided by his warrior father,with great emphasis on physical strength, skills of warfare, andsportsmanship. Amenhotep never tired of boasting of his feats in theseskills, and he was even buried with his great bow. Amenhotep's first campaign was against uprisings in north Syria, duringwhich he extracted loyalty oaths from other Asiatic princes. Returningfrom Asia, he forwarded the body of a rebel Asiatic chief to the Nubiancapital, where it was hung on the town wall as an example; the gesturewas sufficient to maintain peace in Nubia. His second campaign wassmaller, reaching only to the Sea of Galilee, but after it Amenhotepreceived gifts from Mitanni, Babylon, and the Hittites. No furthernorthern wars occurred, which suggests that a balance of power had beenachieved. Within Egypt, many of his father's administrators continued to serveAmenhotep, and the king completed some buildings begun by Thutmose III.He also built new sanctuaries in Lower Egypt and added his mortuarytemple in western Thebes. Amenhotep's mummy was discovered in the Valleyof the Tombs of the Kings at Thebes, in his fine, well-preserved tomb.[Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97, AMENHOTEP II]1

Note* Thutmose III (d. 1426 BC), Egyptian king of the 18th dynasty (reigned1479-26 BC), often regarded as the greatest of the rulers of ancientEgypt. Thutmose III was a skilled warrior who brought the Egyptian empireto the zenith of its power by conquering all of Syria, crossing theEuphrates to defeat the Mitannians, and penetrating south along the Nileto Napata in the Sudan. He also built a great number of temples andmonuments to commemorate his deeds. Thutmose's minority Thutmose III was the son of Thutmose II; his mother was one of the king'sminor wives or concubines, named Isis. Since there was no prince with abetter claim to the throne, the boy was crowned king on the early deathof his father; he was about 10 at the time and was betrothed to theheiress, his half-sister Neferure. Neferure's mother, Hatshepsut, thedaughter of Thutmose I and wife and sister of Thutmose II, acted asregent. In the second year of his reign this strong-minded and ambitiouswoman herself assumed the attributes, dress, and insignia of a king andto all intents and purposes reigned in his stead. As one of her courtierssays, 'she directed the affairs of the whole land according to herwishes.' Still, Thutmose was given an education befitting his royalstation. He was taught all military skills, especially archery, which hedemonstrated in public display, and horsemanship, in which he showedconsiderable prowess. He was later to boast that none among his followerscould equal him in physical strength and in marksmanship. As he grew up, Thutmose may even have been entrusted with command of thearmy on campaign in Nubia; whether he also fought in Palestine isdoubtful. His grandfather Thutmose I had penetrated into northern Syria;Thutmose II, though far from a weakling, had not followed this success,and Hatshepsut, as a woman, may have been unwilling to send an army intothe field. Thus, through inaction, Egyptian influence in Syria andPalestine had declined. The sons and grandsons of the Syrian princes whohad surrendered to Thutmose I no longer sent tribute, and the king ofMitanni, a powerful Mesopotamian kingdom with its capital beyond theEuphrates, was able to extend his control westward to the Mediterranean. In the 22nd year of Thutmose's reign, a formidable coalition was formedagainst Egypt, led by the king of Kadesh in northern Syria, and no doubtsupported by the Mitanni. At this moment of crisis Hatshepsut died. Herdeath was opportune; whether her nephew was responsible is a matter ofsurmise only, but later in his reign he decreed that her name beobliterated on all her monuments, her statues smashed, and her figureerased from reliefs. Military campaigns After a few months' preparation the king was ready to march at the headof his army. The first campaign is recorded in some detail on the wallsof the temple he built at Karnak in Thebes, which depict the march toGaza and thence to Yahmai south of the Carmel Range, the council of war,and the king's bold decision to surprise the enemy encamped at Megiddo,northeast of Carmel and about 18 miles (29 km) southeast of the moderncity of Haifa. Thutmose's approach was by the route least expected--anarrow defile over the mountain. It was successful. The enemy wasdefeated, and Megiddo was taken after a siege of eight months. Insubsequent campaigns, which are less fully described in the annals, portson the Phoenician coast were converted into Egyptian supply bases, andKadesh and other cities in the al-Biqa' (Bekaa) Valley were taken. In the 33rd year of Thutmose's reign, the time was at last ripe for hismost audacious move, an attack on the kingdom of Mitanni itself, whichhad grown stronger since the day when Thutmose I had taken its army bysurprise. Thutmose planned the campaign well; pontoon boats weretransported across Syria on oxcarts for the crossing of the EuphratesRiver. The ensuing encounter, which must have taken place on the easternbank, is not described by the annalist; it resulted in the precipitateflight of the Mitannian king and the capture of 30 members of his haremand some hundreds of his soldiers. Triumphantly, Thutmose set up hiscommemorative inscription by the river's edge, next to that of hisgrandfather Thutmose I. It was his farthest point of advance. On thehomeward journey he also hunted elephant in the land of Niy, in theOrontes Valley, and on his return he celebrated a great triumph at Thebesand dedicated prisoners and booty to the temple of the state god Amon. In later campaigns (there were 17 in all), Thutmose III was content toconsolidate what he had won and to lay the foundations of an imperialorganization of his Asian possessions. Native rulers, members of localruling dynasties, were henceforward set to govern their own territoriesas vassals of Egypt and were bound by solemn oath to keep the peace,render annual tribute, and obey the Egyptian representative in theregion, the 'overseer of foreign lands.' Their sons were sent as hostagesto Egypt and educated at court, so that in due course they might returnto rule their inheritance, Egyptianized in outlook and sympathies.Fortresses were built, and Egyptian garrisons were stationed at keypoints along the coast and in the highlands. To the south, Thutmose reaffirmed the southern boundary of Egyptiandomination over Nubia as far as Kanisa Kurgus, and at Napata, near theGebel Barkal, he built a temple to Amon. He thoroughly subdued theturbulent Nubian tribes and employed many of them in the gold mines,which from his reign on became the basis of Egyptian wealth in foreignexchange with the princes of western Asia. For the last 12 years of hisreign, he was content to enjoy the fruits of his victories. The tributeof Syria and Palestine and of the Sudan poured into his treasury; theannals list huge quantities of timber and metal ores, cattle, and graindelivered by the conquered. Minoan Crete and Cyprus, Babylonia, Assyria,and the Hittites sent gifts. The tombs of high officials of the reign aredecorated with scenes depicting the reception of foreign envoys comingfrom places as far away as the Aegean and the Greek mainland to lay theirrich and exotic gifts at the feet of the pharaoh. The prestige of Egypthad never been so high. Adornment of Egypt The new prosperity was reflected in the remarkable program of buildingundertaken by the king's architects. The Temple of Amon at Karnak inparticular was enlarged and enriched by many new buildings and a numberof obelisks. Two of the splendid granite obelisks that he erected thereare now in Istanbul and Rome; of the two, now known as Cleopatra'sNeedles, with which he adorned the temple of the sun-god at Heliopolis,one is in New York City's Central Park and the other on the Thamesembankment in London. During his reign art and craftsmanship received newimpetus from his patronage. The exotic birds, beasts, and plants that hebrought back from his campaigns in Asia are depicted on the walls of hisFestival Hall at Karnak; among the gifts sent him from abroad were a livebear, an elephant, a giraffe, and 'birds that give birth everyday'--probably domestic hens, which were rare in the Middle East at thattime. During the last year of his life, feeling his strength failing, Thutmoseappointed his son Amenhotep II, the son of his second wife, Hatshepsut'sdaughter Meryetre, as coregent. When he died, in 1426 BC, he was laid torest in a remote corner of the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings inwestern Thebes. Along with many other royal burials, this tomb was laterlooted by robbers; the mummy of the pharaoh was one of those discoveredin 1889, in a hiding place where the priest-kings of the 21st dynasty hadhidden them for safety. Of the rich furniture that must originally havebeen placed in the tomb, only a few fragments were found. His mortuarytemple, which was built on a terrace at Dayr al-Bahri beside that ofHatshepsut, was discovered in 1962. Nearby, the burial place of three members of his harem was found; judgingby their names, they were Syrian princesses, and though of minor ranktheir jewelry and equipment were extremely lavish. Of all the kings of ancient Egypt, Thutmose III is perhaps the one who,for the modern historian, most nearly comes to life. His records, thoughcouched in the boastful and extravagant terms thought befitting apharaoh's exploits, leave little doubt not only of his ability as asoldier and a statesman but also of his abilities as an athlete and ahunter of lion, wild cattle, and elephant. From his mummy it is knownthat he was a small man, not above five feet three inches in height. Hisstatues show a resolute face with a large, high-bridged nose andpleasantly smiling mouth. His fame lived after him. His name, inscribed on countless amulets, wasthought to bring power and protection to the wearers. A popular hymncelebrating his triumphs became a model for later paeans of victory; init the god Amon-Re says: I set thy glory and the fear of thee in all lands, and the terror ofthee as far as the four supports of the sky. . . . the rulers of all foreign countries are gathered together within thygrasp. I stretch out my hands to bind them for thee. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97, THUTMOSE III]1

Note* Thutmose II (fl. 2nd millennium BC), 18th-dynasty king of Egypt (reignedc. 1482-1479 BC) who suppressed a revolt in Nubia, Egypt's territory tothe south, and also sent a punitive expedition to Palestine against someBedouins. Thutmose was born to Thutmose I, his predecessor, by a sister of hisfather's queen. He married his fully royal half-sister, Hatshepsut, tosolidify his claim to the throne. According to an inscription from Aswandated year one, a chief from northern Kush, around the Second NileCataract, fomented a revolt against Egyptian suzerainty and threatenedthe garrisons stationed in Nubia. The king dispatched a force with ordersto quell the rebels and execute their males. One of the chief's sons wasbrought captive to Egypt, probably to be Egyptianized and returned to hiscountry as a client ruler. Some time later, as shown by the biography ofone of the soldiers who had accompanied his father, Thutmose II sentforces against some Bedouins in southern Palestine. Besides these references, little is known of Thutmose II's reign. Hisname appears on a few Upper Egyptian and Nubian monuments, but it perhapswas ordered cut by his son, Thutmose III. In western Thebes he built asmall funerary temple, which his son later enlarged. No tomb has beenpositively identified as belonging to Thutmose II, although his mummy wasdiscovered reburied in the royal cache. By a woman of his harem, Thutmose II left a son who was still very youngat his father's death. As indicated by the king's chief architect,although the young prince was elevated to the throne, it was hisstepmother and regent, Hatshepsut, who governed Egypt. There is doubt concerning the length of Thutmose II's reign. Only hisfirst year is positively attested, although around 1900 a scholar claimedto have seen an inscription dated year 18. This text has never again beenseen, however, and most modern scholars doubt its validity. [EncyclopædiaBritannica CD '97, THUTMOSE II]1

  1. Thutmose I (fl. 2nd millennium BC), 18th-dynasty king of Egypt (reigned1493-c. 1482 BC) who expanded Egypt's empire in Nubia (the modern Sudan)and also penetrated deep into Syria. Although Thutmose was the son of a nonroyal mother, he strengthened hisclaim to the throne by marrying his predecessor's daughter, probably sometime before his accession. He also possibly was associated with hispredecessor as coregent for an unspecified period, as is attested by achapel found at Thebes. On his accession day, he communicated his newtitulary and coronation in a letter to the viceroy of Nubia. In his second year Thutmose led a riverborne expedition deep into Nubia,beyond his predecessor's frontier. As shown by inscriptions carved alongthe way, he thrust past the Fourth Nile Cataract and set up a newboundary at Kanisa Kurgus. The venture is attested by the biographies oftwo Upper Egyptians who were among the forces that made the campaign. Onereason for the deep thrust into Nubia was the land's rich gold deposits,which were intensely exploited during the 18th dynasty. Anothermotivation was the fact that a hostile Kushite kingdom, centred near theThird Cataract, had seriously menaced Egypt during the 17th dynasty. After his Nubian war Thutmose penetrated to the Euphrates River in thevicinity of Carchemish in Syria as he continued the pursuit of theHyksos, Asiatic invaders who had recently dominated Egypt. One of thetexts from Nubia states that already before the Syrian foray, Thutmoseclaimed the Euphrates as his border. Although no evidence of earliercampaigns survives, the Nubian text implies that deep penetration ofSyria had already occurred. Within Egypt, Thutmose thoroughly renovated the Middle Kingdom temple ofAmon at Thebes. He erected an enclosure wall and two pylons at thewestern end, with a small pillared hall in between. Two obelisks wereadded in front of the outer pylon. Thutmose created the axial temple,which became standard for the New Kingdom. Two crown princes predeceased the king. One had become commander of thearmies and was assigned to Memphis, near modern Cairo, which in the NewKingdom became a military operations centre. Thutmose set the example forlater kings, who likewise assigned their crown princes to Memphis, wherethey were schooled in the military arts. Thutmose also was the first king to cut his tomb in the Valley of theTombs of the Kings at Thebes, probably to obtain greater security for it.It was also he who built the cemetery workers' village at Dayral-Madinah, in western Thebes, and who probably completed theorganization of the necropolis staff begun by his predecessor. The lengthof Thutmose's reign is still uncertain, and his highest attested date isyear nine. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97, THUTMOSE I] ---------- The Mystery of Tuthmosis I's Burial Tuthmosis I appears to have been buried in two tombs in the Valley of theKings: first in KV 20 and then in KV 38. KV 20 was cleared by HowardCarter in 1903, and seemed to be a double tomb intended not only forTuthmosis but also for his daughter Hatshepsut (who was to rule in herown right). It contained two yellow quartzite sarcophagi, one inscribedfor Tuthmosis I and the other for Hatshepsut as pharaoh, as well as hercanopic chest. When KV 38 was found in 1899 by Victor Loret, it alsocontained a sarcophagus for the king. Two explanations have been putforward. One theory is that Hatshepsut transferred her father's bodyfrom KV 38 to her own tomb, KV 20, since KV 38 had traditionally beenthought to be the earliest royal tomb located in the Valley. However,the plan of KV 38 is more like tombs later in the dynasty. Analternative view is, therefore, that Tuthmosis III (who had been usurpedby his stepmother Hatshepsut) removed his grandfather's body from thetomb of his stepmother and built a new tomb for it, i.e. KV 38. Ineni,Tuthmosis I's architect, tells how he had a secret tomb cut in the Valleyof the Kings for his master, 'no one seeing, no one hearing', but whichof the two tombs it was, KV 20 or 38, is uncertain. Irrespective ofwhere he first rested, Tuthmosis I's mummy was found amongst the royalbodies in the 1881 find. [Chronicle of the Pharaohs, Peter A. Clayton,Thames and Hudson Ltd., London, 1994].

Note* Ahmose I (reigned c. 1539-14 BC), founder of the 18th dynasty, whocompleted his brother's expulsion of the Hyksos (Asiatic rulers ofEgypt), invaded Palestine, and re-exerted Egypt's hegemony over Nubia, tothe south. Resuming the war of liberation against the Hyksos early in his reign,Ahmose crushed the foreigners' allies in Middle Egypt and, advancing downthe Nile River, captured Memphis, the traditional capital of Egypt, nearmodern Cairo. While his mother, Queen Ahhotep, ran the government inThebes, near modern Luxor, he undertook a waterborne operation againstAvaris, the Hyksos capital, in the eastern delta, followed by a landsiege. When a rebellion flared in Upper Egypt, he hastened upriver toquell the rising, while the queen mother Ahhotep helped to contain it.Having put down the rising, he captured Avaris and then pursued the enemyto Sharuhen, a Hyksos stronghold in Palestine, which was reduced after athree-year siege. Before advancing into Palestine, Ahmose, in three campaigns, advancedinto Nubia, whose ruler had been an ally of the Hyksos. The rich goldmines of the south provided another incentive for Ahmose's expansion intoNubia. After his borders were secure, Ahmose established an administration loyalto him in Egypt and granted lands to distinguished veterans of hiscampaigns and to members of the royal family. He reactivated the coppermines at Sinai and resumed trade with the cities of the Syrian coast, asattested by inscriptions recording the use of cedar found in Syria and bythe rich jewelry from his reign. He restored neglected temples, erectedchapels for his family, and planned more ambitious works, but he diedsoon afterward, leaving a prosperous and reunited Egypt. [EncyclopædiaBritannica CD '97, AHMOSE I] ---------- (An) account of the struggles against the Hyksos is (contained) in asmall private tomb at el-Kab, just to the north of Aswan. Carved invertical columns of hieroglyphs immediately inside the entrances is theautobiography of a local noble of the city of Nekheb (el-Kab), Ahmose sonof Ebana; it is the only contemporary account extant of the final defeatof the Hyksos. Ahmose served in the army under Kamose's successor,Ahmose I. The new king resumed the war with the Hyksos about half waythrough his 24-year reign, leading a series of attacks against Memphis,Avaris, and other Hyksos strongholds. Ahmose son of Ebana not only tookpart in the siege of Avaris, the second and third battles of Avaris, andthe city's eventual capture, but also pursued their beleaguered Hyksosinto Palestine and laid siege to their town of Sharuhen. At last, after a hard-fought campaign, the Hyksos were expelled fromEgypt and the princely line of Thebes, in the person of Ahmose I,inaugurated the 18th Dynasty and the New Kingdom. With the expulsion of the Hyksos, the princes of Thebes now reignedsupreme. The war against the Hyksos had not been without cost: Ahmoselost his father Seqenenre II and his brother Kahmose within about threeyears of each other, leaving him heir to the throne at a very young age.His mother, the redoubtable Queen Aahotep, was a powerful force in theland and may have been co-regent with him in the early years of his reign. After expelling the Hyksos, Ahmose was faced with the task ofconsolidating Egypt's borders, which he did with a series of rapidcampaigns that sealed the Syrian Border and brought Nubia (Kush) toheel. There must also have been much to do domestically and Ahmose seemsto have devolved a great deal of the responsibility on to local governorsin the nomes. He encouraged support for his regime with gifts of land --as recorded by Ahmose son of Ebana in his tomb at el-Kab -- and initiatedtemple building projects, the best evidence of which comes from remainsand inscriptions at Abydos. Manetho gives Ahmose I a reign of 25 to 26 years, which is substantiatedby Josephus, who allocates 25 years and 4 months to the king. After hisdeath, Ahmose was buried in the Dra Abu el-Naga area of the Thebannecropolis, in front of the Theban hills. Curiously, although hiswell-preserved mummy was found in the great royal cache of 1881, andWallis Budge bought a unique limestone portrait ushabti of the king forthe British Museum in the 1890s, the location of his tomb is unknown.[Chronicle of the Pharaohs, Peter A. Clayton, Thames and Hudson, Ltd.,London, 1994] ---------- Two Ladies of the Court Ahmose had two strong-willed and influential women in his immediatefamily. The first was his grandmother, Tetisheri, the founding matriarchof the dynasty. Greatly honoured by her descendants, she was providednot only with a lavish tomb but also with a pyramid and chapel at thesacred site of Abydos, complete with a full staff of mortuary priests.Tetisheri gave birth to Ahmose's father Seqenenre II and his mother,Aahotep, who was herself a formidable character. Aahotep was extolled in a most unusual way on the great stele of Ahmoseat Karnak as 'one who cares for Egypt. She has looked after her(Egypt's) soldiers; she has guarded her; she has brought back herfugitives and collected together her deserters; she has pacified UpperEgypt, and expelled her rebels.' So, as well as probably being co-regentwith her son, she was evidently also an active military leader. This isfurther demonstrated by a superb battleaxe and three 'Golden Fly' awardsfor valour which were found in her intact coffin at Thebes in 1859.[Chronicle of the Pharaohs, Peter A.

Note* Seqenenre, also called SEQENENRE TAO (fl. 16th century BC), king of Egypt(c. 1545 BC) who, according to tradition, faced unreasonable demands fromthe Hyksos, the west-Semitic conquerors who had overrun much of Egypt inthe 17th century BC. As shown by a later school papyrus, Seqenenre was contemporary to thelast great Hyksos king and initially probably paid him tribute as avassal. According to the text, the Hyksos ruler provoked a quarrel byclaiming that hippopotamuses at Thebes were disturbing his sleep at hisDelta capital, 400 miles (644 km) away. Unfortunately, the preserved textends with Seqenenre and his court pondering a suitable response.Nonetheless, because his son claimed a definite portion of Egypt as hisown, Seqenenre probably managed to secure some independence. Seqenenre died violently: his mummy displays five terrible head wounds--acrushing blow, three ax wounds, and a spear or sword thrust. Because theax wounds were inflicted while he lay on the ground, some scholarssuggest that he was assassinated as he slept. It is equally possible thathis death occurred in battle. Nonetheless, the evident hasty embalming,accompanied by failure to arrange the limbs correctly, suggests that theking died under extreme circumstances. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97,SEQENENRE]1

Demetrius was the son of Alexander the Great's general Antigonus IMonophthalmus, in whose campaigns he commanded with distinction and whoseempire, based in Asia, he attempted to rebuild. Unsuccessful againstPtolemy I Soter, satrap of Egypt, and against the Nabataeans, heliberated Athens from the Macedonian Cassander in 307 BC and in 306decisively defeated Ptolemy at Salamis (Cyprus). From his unsuccessfulsiege of Rhodes (305) he won the title Poliorcetes ('the Besieger').Recalled by his father from Greece, he fought in the Battle of Ipsus, inwhich his father was killed and lost much of his empire (301). Demetriuskept a foothold in Greece and in 294 reoccupied Athens and establishedhimself as king of Macedonia, but in 288 he was driven out by his rivalsLysimachus and Pyrrhus. He finally surrendered to Seleucus I Nicator inCilicia (285) and died there (283). He is the subject of one ofPlutarch's Lives. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD ;97, DEMETRIUS IPOLIORCETES]1

Note* Antipater (b. c. 397 BC--d. 319), Macedonian general, regent of Macedonia(334-23) and of the Macedonian Empire (321-319) whose death signalled theend of centralized authority in the empire. One of the leading men inMacedonia at the death of Philip II in 336, he helped to secure thesuccession to the Macedonian throne for Philip's son, Alexander theGreat, who upon departure for the conquest of Asia (334) appointedAntipater regent in Macedonia with the title of general in Europe.Antipater's main task was to hold the northern frontiers against hostiletribes and to keep order among the Greek states. He ruled Greece bycooperating with the League of Corinth but was unpopular because hesupported oligarchic governments. The settlement of the satrapies(provinces) of the Macedonian Empire by the new regent, Perdiccas, atBabylon in 323, immediately after Alexander's death, left Antipater incontrol of Macedonia and Greece, though as former regent his status inrelation to Perdiccas was not clearly defined. Antipater then took theside of the Macedonian generals Antigonus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy, whowere opposed to the claims of Perdiccas. By the settlement atTriparadisus, Syria (321), after Perdiccas' death, Antipater becameregent of the Macedonian Empire for the two kings: the intellectuallyretarded Philip III Arrhidaeus and the infant Alexander IV.

Event-Misc X, Type: Progenitor1
Event-Misc 306 - 301 BC, King of Macedonia, Type: Reigned2,1
Note* Antigonus I MONOPHTHALMUS ('One-Eyed'), also called ANTIGONUS I CYCLOPS(b. 382 BC--d. 301, Ipsus, Phrygia, Asia Minor [now in Turkey]),Macedonian general under Alexander the Great who founded the Macedoniandynasty of the Antigonids (306-168 BC), becoming king in 306. Anexceptional strategist and combat leader, he was also an astute ruler whocultivated the friendship of Athens and other Greek city-states. Military campaigns. In 333 Alexander had appointed Antigonus satrap of Phrygia, and uponAlexander's death he also received the governorship of Pamphylia andLycia from the regent of the Macedonian empire, Perdiccas. He then formedan alliance against Perdiccas with Antipater, the governor of Macedonia,and with Ptolemy of Egypt, Lysimachus of Thrace, and Craterus (all ofwhom had served under Alexander). Perdiccas was murdered, and Antipaterbecame regent of the empire. In 321 Antipater appointed Antigonuscommander in chief of his army in Asia and sent him against Eumenes, thesatrap of Cappadocia and an adherent of Perdiccas. Antigonus defeatedEumenes and then besieged him unsuccessfully in the mountain fortressNora. Polyperchon succeeded Antipater as regent, and Antigonus joinedforces against him with Cassander (Antipater's son), Ptolemy, Lysimachus,and Eumenes in 319. When Eumenes, his rival in Asia Minor (Anatolia),went over to Polyperchon, Antigonus defeated him with the aid of Seleucusand Peithon (the satraps of Babylonia and Media, respectively) atGabiene. Then, wishing to eliminate all possible rivals, Antigonus hadboth Eumenes and Peithon executed; Seleucus escaped to Egypt. Antigonus was now in complete control of Asia Minor, but Ptolemy,Lysimachus, Cassander, and Seleucus allied themselves against him in thefirst coalition war (315-311) in an attempt to thwart his plan ofreuniting Alexander's empire. Antigonus occupied Syria and proclaimedhimself regent. In order to win the support of the Greek city-states,whose resistance to subjugation presented the chief stumbling block tothe formation of a Hellenistic monarchy, he announced to his assembledarmy that all the Greeks should be free, autonomous, and ungarrisoned.This political slogan was to be sounded again and again--almostimmediately by Ptolemy and for a final time by the Romans in 196. Withthe aid of his officers in Greece, Antigonus drove out Cassander'sMacedonian forces of occupation there and formed the island cities in theAegean into the League of the Islanders, preparatory to his invasion ofGreece. His ally, the city of Rhodes, furnished him with the necessaryfleet. While he was engaged in conquering Caria, his son, Demetrius Poliorcetes,was defeated at Gaza by Ptolemy and Seleucus (312). Seleucus returned tohis former province, Babylonia. In view of this new threat from the East,Antigonus decided to make peace with all of his adversaries exceptSeleucus. All of the diadochoi (Alexander's successors) confirmed theexisting boundaries and the freedom of the Greek cities. Antigonus, nolonger regent but merely strategos (officer in charge) of the whole ofAsia, was to rule in Syria and from the Hellespont to the Euphrates. Activities in Greece. Then Ptolemy attacked Cilicia, and the second coalition war (310-301)against Antigonus broke out. In Greece in 307, Antigonus' son Demetriusousted Demetrius of Phaleron, Cassander's governor of Athens, andreestablished the old Athenian constitution. The grateful Athenianshonoured Antigonus and Demetrius as divine saviours (theoi soteres).Cassander's influence in Greece was now broken, and in 306 Demetriusdefeated Ptolemy's fleet near Salamis on the island of Cyprus andconquered the island. This victory gave Antigonus control of the Aegean,of the eastern Mediterranean, and of all of the Near East exceptBabylonia. The assembled army proclaimed him king, and his friendsadorned him with the diadem. For his part, he appointed Demetrius kingand co-regent and sent him the diadem. This was to become a traditionalceremony in the Hellenistic monarchy. In 305, after Antigonus had vainly attacked Egypt, Ptolemy also assumedthe title of king, and Cassander, Lysimachus, and Seleucus followed suit.The partition of Alexander's empire into five states had now beenformally established. In 305 Antigonus sent Demetrius to conquer Rhodes,which had refused him armed support against Ptolemy. After a year'sunsuccessful siege he concluded a peace treaty and an alliance with theisland state, guaranteeing it autonomy and neutrality in his conflictswith Ptolemy. This concession was necessary because in the meantimeCassander had invaded Attica and was besieging Athens. Demetrius drovehim out of central Greece, and the Athenians bestowed on him a newreligious honour, synnaos ('having the same temple') of the temple of thegoddess Athena. In 303 he occupied Corinth, Sicyon, and Argos in the Peloponnese, andAchaea, Elis, and almost all of Arcadia joined his side. In 302 Antigonusand Demetrius crowned their success by renewing the pan-Hellenic league,which Philip II of Macedonia had formed in 337. Ambassadors from all theHellenic states--with the exception of Sparta, Messenia, andThessaly--elected Antigonus and Demetrius protectors of the new league atCorinth. It was to be an 'eternal' treaty, extending to the descendantsof the kings. Each member state furnished a contingent of troops for aleague army that was commanded by the kings or their deputies. The leaguewas to ensure a general peace in Hellas, but first and foremost it was toaid Antigonus against Cassander. Final campaigns. Now at the zenith of his power, Antigonus demanded Cassander'sunconditional submission. He wanted possession of Macedonia, the nativeland of his dynasty, and to establish his dominion over Alexander'sformer empire. The other diadochoi, however, warned by Cassander's fate,now joined forces to attack the omnivorous old man. From Babylonia,Seleucus invaded Asia Minor, Ptolemy attacked Syria, and Lysimachus movedinto the western part of Asia Minor. Docimus, the regent of Phrygia, andPhoenix, the strategos of Lycia, deserted Antigonus. He, in turn,recalled Demetrius, left his capital city, Antigoneia (which he hadfounded on the Orontes in 306), and crossed the Taurus Mountains.Lysimachus, who was waiting for Seleucus, avoided an engagement. In vainAntigonus sent a corps of raiders into Babylonia in order to divide hisenemies' forces. In 301 the united armies of Lysimachus and Seleucusengaged the forces of Antigonus and Demetrius at Ipsus in Phrygia.Demetrius made the error of pursuing the enemy's cavalry too far, and asa result Antigonus, age 80, lost the battle and his life. Antigonus had been an excellent strategist who, until then, had neverlost a battle. He had a genuine admiration for Greek civilization. Hefounded several cities, especially in Asia Minor, and united severalsmall communities into unitary, large centres: Lebedus (Lebedos) andTeos, for example. Several Greek artists graced his court; Apellespainted his portrait in profile because of his missing eye (the cause ofwhich is unknown). [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97, ANTIGONUS IMONOPTHALMUS]1

Event-Misc* M2
Note* Few families in the early annals of England can boast of a more eminentprogenitor than the Bassets, and the descendants of few of theAnglo-Norman nobles attained a higher degree of power than those of RalphBasset (son of Thurstan, the Norman), who was justice of England underKing Henry I. We find his son Ralph, in the reign of Stephen, 'aboundingin wealth and erecting a strong castle upon some part of his inheritancein Normandy.' Ralph Basset, the justice of England, required none of theartificial aids of ancestry to attain distinction; he had within himselfpowers sufficient at any period to reach the goal of honour, butparticularly to the rude age in which he lived. To his wisdom we aresaid to be indebted for many salutary laws, and among others for that offrank pledge. Like all the great men of his day, he was a most liberalbenefactor to the church. He d. in 1120, leaving issue, Thurstine,Thomas, Richard, Nicholas, and Gilbert.
