TY - JOUR AB - <p>Scholars almost universally agree that there were two tendencies among the<br>Successors of Alexander the Great: while some are assumed to have aimed at<br>gaining control of Alexander's entire empire, others supposedly were content<br>with a part of it. This paper will question the foundations of this communis<br>opinio, as both Diodorus Siculus and Cornelius Nepos explicitly state that all<br>the Successors wanted to lay their hands on the entire realm and no ancient<br>author mentions any separatist tendencies. A new assessment might show that<br>many of the alleged signs of separatism in the early Successor era can also be<br>interpreted in other ways.</p> AU - Alexander Meeus DA - 2007/1// DO - 10.21825/kzm.v61i0.17428 IS - 0 VL - 61 PB - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis PY - 2007 TI - De territoriale ambities van de diadochen in de eerste jaren na de dood van Alexander de Grote (323-320 v.C.)
