# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Antipater rose as one of Philip II's closest companions, helping secure Alexander's throne after Philip's assassination in 336 BC. When Alexander marched east against Persia, Antipater stayed behind as regent, holding Macedon and Greece through revolts — most notably defeating King Agis III of Sparta. After Alexander's death in 323 BC, he was reconfirmed as viceroy of Europe at the Partition of Babylon, then fought the Lamian War, suffering defeat and siege at Lamia in 322 BC before escaping and crushing the Greeks at Crannon. He joined Ptolemy and Antigonus against the regent Perdiccas, and after Perdiccas' death in 321/320 BC, Antipater was elected regent of Alexander's entire empire at the Partition of Triparadisus. He brought the two kings back to Macedon but died in 319 BC, naming the infantry officer Polyperchon as successor instead of his son Cassander — a choice that ignited the Second War of the Diadochi and eventually delivered Macedon to Cassander anyway.
