Something wrong?He lost an eye, carved out half of Alexander's empire for himself, and declared himself king over territories from Greece to Mesopotamia - only to die in battle against the coalition that couldn't let one man hold that much ground.

Antigonus likely served under Philip II and rose to prominence in Alexander's invasion of Persia, earning the satrapy of Phrygia. After Alexander's death in 323 BC, he received additional territories under the Partition of Babylon but soon drew the enmity of Perdiccas, the regent, who drove him out. He fled to Greece, formed an alliance with Antipater and Ptolemy, and watched Perdiccas get murdered by his own officers in 320 BC. Through the succession wars that followed, he seized control of Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Phoenicia, and northern Mesopotamia - briefly the most powerful of Alexander's former generals. In 306 BC he assumed the title of basileus. Cassander, Seleucus, Ptolemy, and Lysimachus built a coalition against him, and at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC, he was killed and his kingdom carved up. His son Demetrius survived and took Macedonia thirteen years later.
