Hansen[ATTACH=full]1484301[/ATTACH]Antigonos was one of the major participants of what would eventually be called &quot;Alexander&#039;s funeral games&quot; the long and seemingly endless series of wars fought over Alexander&#039;s empire by his erstwhile generals. Antigonus died at the Battle of Ipsus. After his infantry was separated from his cavalry&nbsp; by an enemy elephant corps, the enemy concentrated on defeating that force. As the enemy bore din upon him, one of his officers stated &quot;The enemy is about to attack. Antigonos replied &quot;Well who else, but me should they attack?&quot; He died at the age of 80-81 feisty to the bitter end. </p><p>Note made a bit of an error sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
