Best King of the Diadochi

[Trin Tragula]

I bet many others know far more than me about this time and place but I always liked Antigonus myself.
However, I don’t think he fits with what you’re looking for. Ptolemy seems a better fit for that

As a PhD who actually is studying the Diadochs I find this thread appalling...

P.S. Eumenes of Cardia was another contender for the throne despite the Propaganda Diodorus, Nepos and Plutarch spread because of what Hyeronimus of Cardia (possibly an actual friend of Eumenes that switched sides after the debacle at Gabiene), just as Schäffer, Anson et al. have claimed for some time now. Add to this more forgotten figures like Perdiccas, who actually knew how to control the assembly at Babylon and could have come off as the victor had he defeated Ptolemy, who is, possibly, the most overrated of the lot.

If you have the time for it I would love to read more about how wrong we all are (and why).
