As generals, family, and old allies fought to claim his legacy, one man rose above the rest: Ptolemy, who would seize both Alexander’s corpse and his destiny. From the Partition of Babylon to the bloody Wars of the Diadochi, this episode dives into how the empire splintered, how Perdiccas’ ambition led to his downfall, and how Egypt became the prize that launched a dynasty.
