Antigonus, also called Monophthalmos ('the one-eyed') d.301BC
Macedonian general
He was one of the generals of Alexander the Great. After Alexander's death, he received the provinces of Phrygia Major, Lycia and Pamphylia. On the regent Antipater's death in 319BC, aiming to rule all Asia, he waged incessant wars against the other generals, making himself master of all Asia Minor and Syria. In 306 he assumed the title of king together with his son Demetrius Poliorcetes, but was defeated and slain by Lysimachus and his son, Cassander, and Seleucus I at Ipsus in Phrygia.
