Two of his concubines were identified with Aphrodite; they must've been very good at their work. All sources insist that Demetrius the Besieger was a handsome man & he was never short of women to share his bed. Meander listed the great beauties of the day and ended wrily "you've had them all".

Now that's a tinder profile.

The Peace of the Dynasts (315 BC) proclaimed that the current administrations were temporary; Alexander IV would come of age & inherit the lot. In reality, the Successors regarded theirs as spear-won kingdoms; from now on they made less use of magical Argead name to legitimate their position. A few years later, Cassander read "IF Alexander comes of age" had the teenager poisoned along with his mother Roxanne.

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.
