FROM BABYLON TO TRIPARADIS: THE LESSER DIADOCHI IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF EARLY HELLENISM
The article is devoted to the problem of participation of minor diadochs in the process of political disintegration of the empire of Alexander the Great. The focus is on the so-called lists of satrapies - agreements on the distribution of satrapies concluded between the diadochi in 323 BC in Babylon and in 320 BC in Triparadis. A detailed analysis of the lists, as well as the traditions of Hieronymus of Cardia, show changes in the distribution of power among the diadochi, which occurred in a fairly short period - from 323 to 320 BC. Key words: Hellenism, Diadochi, Hieronymus of Cardia. The phenomenon of the lesser Diadochi, Alexander's political heirs, who can be called second-order figures of the early Hellenistic era, has never attracted special attention of researchers. The traditional perception of the circumstances of the collapse of the empire of Alexander the Great through the prism of events related to the personalities of the great diadochi developed a specific system of knowledge and ideas about the political history of this period. Of course, the central place in it is occupied by the leaders of their time-Antigonus the One-Eyed, Ptolemy, Cassander, Eumenes, Perdiccas and some others. On the contrary, other participants in the seemingly same political processes remain in the shadow of their contemporaries: their historical role and significance are noticeably understated, even to the point of almost complete oblivion2. Sometimes it seems that there are more than four dozen historical figures who can be called diadochs (political heirs of Alexander, who began their career during his lifetime and participated in the Great Patriotic War). The work was carried out within the framework of the Russian State Science Foundation grant 14-31-01233 "The Collapse of the Empire of Alexander the Great in the context of political biographies of "small" diadochs". 1 Only prosopographic studies can make exceptions here. See [Berve, 1926; Heckel, 1992; Heckel, 2006]. 2 Thi ... Read more
