The '''Diadochi''' ({{IPAc-en|d|aɪ|ˈ|æ|d|ə|k|aɪ}};<ref>{{cite LPD|3}}</ref> plural of [[Latin]] '''Diadochus''', from {{lang-grc-gre|Διάδοχοι}}, ''Diádokhoi'' "successors") were the rival generals, families, and friends of [[Alexander the Great]], who fought for control over his empire after his death in 323&nbsp;BCEBC. The [[Wars of the Diadochi]] mark the beginning of the [[Hellenistic period]] from the [[Mediterranean Sea]] to the [[Indus River Valley]].
