Battle of Crannon

The Battle of Crannon occurred in 322 BC in present-day Greece, marking the end of the Lamian War. It involved a clash between the Macedonian forces led by Antipater and a coalition of Greek city-states, including Athens. The Greeks aimed to end Macedonian dominance after Alexander the Great’s death. Antipater's disciplined army defeated the coalition decisively. The battle solidified Macedonian control over Greece and significantly weakened Athenian power, leading to a period of Macedonian hegemony in the region. This battle is notable for its strategic implications in the aftermath of Alexander's empire.
