Philip & Alexander had been the first to found cities in their own names, or in those of family. Philip had reduced Potidea & Olynthus; Alexander had razed Thebes to the ground.

Cassander now dared to undo these acts of his Argead predecessors by founding Cassandreia on the ruins & refounding Thebes. Whether Alexander had been right to judge that Antipater had regal pretensions, Antipater's son certainly did.
