#antigonos

One of my friends is a big fan of Lysimachus, so I drew the Diadochi with Alexander The Great. He posted it on reddit already atually, there were some comments on it, especially why Craterus is so short. Well, that's because I completely misjudged the height when I drew him. At a certain point I was done drawing all of them and I even already had base colors etc. and I noticed that Craterus was just floating around, he wasn't even touching the ground. So instead of elongating him with the select tool, I decided to just draw him a sort of stool, so it wouldn't be as obvious. So no he wasn't short in real life, I just miscalculated.

Hard to say, in part because nobody was powerful enough to impose what Alexander (probably) wanted. Krateros came closest in power, but even he decided it was smart to ally with Antipatros (and Antigonos). Nor was he (or Antipatros) as keen on the fusion of empires that Alexander wanted. But at least they seem to have wanted to hold things together, but wound up against Perdikkas.

Perdikkas--and Eumenes--were closer on the inclusion of Persia, but Perdikkas was both more arrogant and thought smaller (he wanted to be king/king-maker), and neither man was especially well-liked. Ptolemy was hell-bent on carving out Egypt as richest, and Seleukos kinda came out of nowhere to eliminate Perdikkas and then fight Ptolemy. Leonnatos was always a hothead and got himself killed even faster than Krateros. Like Ptolemy, Lysimachos decided to carve out his own spot, but up in Thrace.

I think that's the real problem. None of them was strong enough, or sold enough on ATG's vision. So I think my honest answer here is: None of them.

Să fac o glumă amară și să spun că bârfa a apărut de îndată ce pe pământ s-au ivit mai mult de doi oameni? Sau să repet ceea ce se spune de obicei, că bârfa e mai ales o îndeletnicire a femeilor? Nu, aș fi nedrept. Credeți că numai femeile bârfesc?…

“O limbă bârfitoare, scria Publius Syrus, este semnul unei inimi rele.” Bârfitorul nu iartă nimic: prieteni, rude, cunoștințe, colegi, șefi,…
