Cassander

Cassander was a prominent Macedonian general and ruler during the period after Alexander the Great’s empire divided. He was known for his precise political strategies and military skill, which enabled him to control Macedon and Greece. Initially a loyal commander under Alexander, Cassander later seized power for himself, founding the city of Thessalonica in her honor. His reign involved consolidating power, suppressing rivals, and navigating complex alliances. Though often seen as ambitious, his leadership helped stabilize Macedonian rule during a tumultuous time of changing empires and shifting territories.
