| As soon as Antipater learned this, he resolved at once upon open war. |
| In 319 he was again sent to the Macedonian court, but either Antipater or his son Cassander, learning that Demades had intrigued with the regent Perdiccas, put him to death. |
| There was another son of Antipater, however, named Nicanor, who was then in Macedon. |
| Alexander now planned to recall Antipater and supersede him by Craterus, but he was to die before this could be done. |
| Antipater had a son named Cassander, who was a general in his army. |
| That is why Antipater, imitating the precedent, appointed his son Cassander chiliarch in spite of his youth. |
