Antipater's Daughter

Olympia wanted Perdicus to be Antipater's enemy, not his son-in-law. She needed Antipater to be distracted by war in Asia and unable to turn his attention to a pyrus,. Her overall intention now and in the following years was to see her grandson, Alexander IV, gain the Macadonian throne. Offering Cleopatra, Alexander's sister, to Perdicus was a major plank in the scheme.
