The Wars of the Successors of Alexander - the Diadochi continues. and after their defeat at Gaza, Antigonus and Demetrius are looking to restore their positions. Throughout history, control of the strategic Island of Cyprus has proved critical for any desiring naval supremacy in the Eastern Mediterranean. For Ptolemy and the Antigonids it was no different. Six years after his humiliating defeat at Gaza, Demetrius and Ptolemy's forces would clash once again off the east coast of this island - each vying for its control. This battle, dubbed the Battle of Salamis, would be the greatest naval battle of the Wars, with its result having far-reaching consequences. In this episode, we shall cover the Babylonian War and the rise of Seleucus, the execution of Alexander's family and the end of the Argead dynasty and other events leading up to this great battle as well as the climactic engagement itself.
The script was developed and narrated by our good friend Tristan Hughes. This aspiring historian has one of the best historical sites on the web. Check it out if you want to learn more about the conflicts of Antiquity
