Philip, was one of the generals of See also:Alexander the See also:Great
.
He was made See also:governor of Greater See also:Phrygia in 333, and in the See also:division of the provinces after Alexander's See also:death (323) See also:Pamphylia and See also:Lycia were added to his command
.
He incurred the enmity of See also:Perdiccas, the See also:regent, by refusing to assist See also:Eumenes (q.v.) to obtain See also:possession of the provinces allotted to him
.
In danger of his See also:life he escaped with his son See also:Demetrius into See also:Greece, where he obtained the favour of See also:Antipater, regent of See also:Macedonia (321); and when, soon after, on the death of Perdiccas, a new division took See also:place, he was entrusted with the command of the See also:war against Eumenes, who had joined Perdiccas against the See also:coalition of Antipater, Antigonus, and the other generals
.
Eumenes was completely defeated, and obliged to retire to See also:Nora in See also:Cappadocia, and a new See also:army that was marching to his See also:relief was routed by Antigonus
.
See also:Polyperchon succeeding Antipater (d..319) in the regency, to the exclusion of See also:Cassander, his son, Antigonus resolved to set himself up as See also:lord of all See also:Asia, and in See also:conjunction with Cassander and See also:Ptolemy of See also:Egypt, refused to recognize Polyperchon
.
He entered into negotiations with Eumenes; but
Eumenes remained faithful to the royal See also:house
.
Effecting his See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape from Nora, he raised an army, and formed a coalition with the satraps of the eastern provinces
.
He was at last delivered up to Antigonus through treachery in See also:Persia and put to death (316)
.
Antigonus again claimed authority over the whole of Asia, seized the treasures at See also:Susa, and entered Babylonia, of which Seleucus was governor
.
Seleucus fled to Ptolemy, and entered into a See also:league with him (315), together with See also:Lysimachus and Cassander
.
After the war had been carried on with varying success from 315 to 311, See also:peace was concluded, by which the See also:government of Asia See also:Minor and See also:Syria was provisionally secured to Antigonus
.
This agreement was soon violated on the pretext that garrisons had been placed in some of the See also:free See also:Greek cities by Antigonus, and Ptolemy and Cassander renewed hostilities against him
.
Demetrius Poliorcetes, the son of Antigonus, wrested See also:part of Greece from Cassander
.
At first Ptolemy had made a successful descent upon Asia Minor and on several of the islands of the See also:Archipelago; but he was at length totally defeated by Demetrius in a See also:naval engagement off See also:Salamis, in See also:Cyprus (306)
.
On this victory Antigonus assumed the See also:title of king, and bestowed the same upon his son, a See also:declaration that he claimed to be the See also:heir of Alexander
.
Antigonus now prepared a large army, and a formidable See also:fleet, the command of which he gave to Demetrius, and hastened to attack Ptolemy in his own dominions
.
His invasion of Egypt, however, proved a failure; he was unable to penetrate the defences of Ptolemy, and was obliged to retire
.
Demetrius now attempted the reduction of See also:Rhodes, which had refused to assist Antigonus against Egypt; but, See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting with obstinate resistance, he was obliged to make a treaty upon the best terms that he could (3o4)
.
In 302, although Demetrius was again winning success after success in Greece, Antigonus was obliged to recall him to meet the confederacy that had been formed between Cassander, Seleucus and Lysimachus
.
A decisive See also:battle was fought at Ipsus, in which Antigonus See also:fell, in the eighty-first See also:year of his See also:age
