Introduction to Eumenes
[c. – BC]
When Alexander died in Babylon in June BC, he left behind him no heir and no clear successor capable of taking control of the vast empire which he had carved out in his short life. An assembly of the army at Babylon declared as his joint-successors his as yet unborn child, Alexander (IV), and his own half-brother, Arrhidaeus, who took the name Philip (III). Neither was able to shoulder the responsibility of rule at once, since Philip Arrhidaeus was widely believed to suffer from some form of mental handicap, and both were to be used as pawns in the power-games that followed. In the meantime, Alexander’s general Perdiccas took over the royal armies and assumed control of the empire in the name of ‘the kings’ (as Philip III and Alexander IV were known). Craterus, another experienced general who happened to have possession of the royal treasury in Cilicia, was given in his absence the vague title of ‘protector of the kings’, while Antipater, whom Alexander had left to govern Macedon, had his powers there confirmed.

Craterus or Krateros (Greek: Κρατερός; ح. BC – BC)[بحاجة لمصدر] was a Macedonian general under Alexander the Great and one of the Diadochi. Throughout his life, he was a loyal royalist and supporter of Alexander the Great.[1]
Craterus was the son of a Macedonian nobleman named Alexander from Orestis and brother of admiral Amphoterus. Craterus commanded the phalanx and all infantry on the left wing in Battle of Issus in BC. In Hyrcania, he was sent on a mission against the Tapurians, his first independent command with the Macedonian army. At the Battle of the Hydaspes in BC, near modern Jhelum, he commanded the rearguard, which stayed on the western bank; his men crossed the river only during the final stages of the battle.
At the festivities in Susa, Craterus married princess Amastris, daughter of Oxyathres, the brother of Darius III. Craterus left Alexander's troops in Opis in BC.[2] Craterus and Polyperchon were appointed to lead 11, veteran soldiers back to Macedonia and replace Antipater[3] who was ordered to lead a fresh contingent of soldiers to join Alexander's army i
