Son of Antipater and ruler of Macedonia between 316 and 297 BCE , Cassander is the victim of a hostile source tradition, as he was antipathetic to Alexander III, The Great (Plut. Alex . 74.2–6; Demetr . 37.3; Reg . imp . apoph . 180 f.) and directly responsible for eliminating his family and causing the extinction of the Argead Dynasty (Diod. Sic. 19.105.1–3; 20.28; Just. Epit . 15.2.3–5).
