"Who are these clowns who come upon my shores bearing great gifts and performing great feats"—Perdiccas, tyrant of Permium, right before the clowns overthrew his regime and restored democracy to the city-state (280 BC)
What if there were colony ships full of clowns sailing the oceans and when they came ashore it was a great jubilation

Antipater is elected as ruler instead of Perdiccas, Antipater is almost 80! at this point
Satrapsies are being given out again, some new, some the same as before
At the age of 81ish Antipater dies, because he is 81

But thankfully help from the other Satraps does come after some time and Antipater wins big time
But in Asia Perdiccas thinks he should be in charge of all of Alexanders realm, so Antipater et all rush of to meet him in battle

The empire gets somewhat divided, Perdiccas is kind of in charge, but this one guy (we'll call him Mike) is still a pain and in charge of the infantry
Let's trick him with elephants
Afterwards, let's make sure that Alex's other wifes can't say that they are pregnant, by killing them

@alexstandardpod.bsky.social episode 5: Perdiccas
Alexander is dead and no one knows what to do
Perdiccas has the signet ring, but there are other generals that also feel like having a lot of power
So one idea is seeing what kind of genitals Roxannes child will have and form a committee to rule

Scoring goals for City now the equivalent of killing a lion:
![Brian Bosworth on Lysimachus's single-handed killing of a lion as a mark of fitness for command of the state:
"Years later [Lysimachus] is said to have shown the sears to ambassadors from Demetrius. The source for that incident is anecdotal and late,112 but there is more reliable evidence that Lysimachus' exploits while lion hunting were very seriously regarded by his contemporaries. Just before he left Macedonia for the war against Perdiccas Craterus commissioned a grandiose monument at Delphi. The sculptors were the greatest of their day, Lysippus and Leochares, and its scale was huge; the niche which accommodated it measures
over 15 metres by 6."3 It depicted Craterus coming to the aid
of Alexander, who was at grips with a lion, and the dedicatory-
inscription by Craterus' son states that it was Craterus who
killed the lion and did so 'in the confines of Syria'." That was
where Lysimachus' famous single-handed kill took place,
and Craterus was clearly emulating the achievement, not to
mention his later intervention in Sogdiana."
"The killing of the lion was the mark of royalty, as a Spartan
ambassador is alleged to have remarked to Alexander," and
Craterus certainly had regal pretensions when he returned to
Macedonia in 322."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:viaqflyzmf35wmsyb75kp7cn/bafkreigwoeu3isft2qdymiut2wtr3tpw5d2nk6u6aoq3rapvygkwviklju)

Someday Trump will be as much of a household name as, say, Perdiccas III of Macedon.
Trump can surround himself with statues of history’s statesmen but it will never make him one.
A petulant orange fool in a baseball cap, lashing out at opponents, betraying his country’s allies and helping Putin in his murderous plans for Ukraine.
An international disgrace.

Perdiccas could take power, but he could not hold power. Many such cases, really.
