Definition: Cassander, who lived from 358 - 297 B.C., attended Aristotle's lessons along with Alexander and Hephaestion. He ruled as king of Macedonia from 305 to 297. Cassander was one of the diadochoi -- the generals who, as successors of Alexander the Great fought over the territory he had conquered. Cassander had Alexander's posthumous heir (Alexander IV) and Alexander's wife Roxane, as well as Olympias, Alexander the Great's mother, killed.
