Diadochi

Diadochi
Simply translated it means the "successors". More importantly this was a collection of states that once formed Alexander the Great Empire. 
These nations include (but not limited too):
*Egyptian Empire
*Antigonid Empire
*Seleucid Empire
*Hellenic League
*Kingdom of Macedon
*Thrace
*Armenia Special Note : parts of Armenia were part of Alexander's Empire, but as it expanded it included lands that gained their independance for awhile.
As time went on however many states that were formerly independent became under one ruler. These formed mainly two nations the Antigonid Empire and Seleucid Empire historically speaking.
