Dividing the Spoils: The War for Alexander the Greta's Empire, Robin Waterfield, c. 2011 

From an earlier post:

******************

Chapter 2

Perdiccas strikes.

Body guards meet again without interference.

This time Perdiccas made regent, "Protector of the Kings."

Consequences

Unequal triumvirate of Perdiccas, Antipater,and Craterus.

• Perdiccas: all of Asia for himself
• Antipater and Craterus restricted to Europe

Then several pages in Waterfield of whom got what.

My interest (for now) lies with Egypt, Ptolemy, and Cleopatra.

Now, new comments.

It seems one might suggest that after the death of Alexander, three results:

• everything east of the Hellespont pretty much ended among present day Turkey, present day Iraq and Iran, and present day, Pakistan
• Greece gradually imploded; gradually devolved into not much
• Egypt: huge, at least until Rome came along, defeating Cleopatra
