In ancient history, the successive rulers or the period of succession following a leader's death, especially referring to Alexander the Great's successors.
From Greek diadoche (succession), from diadochos (successor), from dia- (through) + dechesthai (to receive). Originally described the passing of power in Hellenistic kingdoms.
The diadoche after Alexander the Great was like the ultimate game of thrones—his generals basically had a decades-long war to carve up his massive empire because he had no clear heir!
