<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3010036, member: 91461&quot;]Awesome right up! Demetrius Poliorketes is also one of my favorites of the post Alexander fellas. I believe Plutarch compared him to Marc Antony due to their love of wine and woman (and the 2 being their down falls). My fav has too be Pyrrhus. The guy beat up the Romans when no one knew just how Great they were to become...even if in his &quot;Pyrric&quot; fashion. Ptolemy was kind of a nerd and not much of a commander. Lysimachos and Kassander come off as jerks (though I love their coins). Antigonus I, the one eyed (as you noted) Demetrius pop, was also a favorite...though you left out my favorite part of the story. Supposedly the Rhodians (tearing it apart and using it&#039;s pieces) turned the abandoned helepolis into the Colossus of Rhodes (a statue of Helios)!</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, I have no Demetrius.
