The Wars of the Diadochi (Ancient Greek: Πόλεμοι τῶν Διαδόχων Pólemoi tōn Diadóchōn, literally War of the Crown Princes), or Wars of Alexander's Successors, were a series of conflicts fought between the generals of Alexander the Great, known as the Diadochi, over who would rule his empire following his death. The Third War of the Diadochi was the conflict between Antigonus Monophthalmus and several of the other Diadochi; Cassander's coaliton fought against his allies in mainland Greece, the Aegean and Asia Minor, Ptolemy and his allies fought him in the Levant and on Cyprus, Seleucus fought him in the east and Lysimachus in Thrace.
