Asander or Asandros (Шаблон:Lang-el; lived 4th century BC) was the son of Philotas and brother of Parmenion and Agathon.[1][2][3] He was a Macedonian general under Alexander the Great, and satrap of Lydia from 334 BC as well as satrap of Caria after Alexander's death.[4] During Alexander's reign Asander's position suffered for a period following Parmenion's execution, he was sent to Media to gather reinforcements during this time, and a year later was sent to Bactra.[1]
Rule
Satrap of Lydia
In 334 BC, Alexander appointed him governor of Lydia and the other parts of the satrapy of Spithridates, and also placed under his command an army of cavalry and light infantry strong enough to maintain the Macedonian authority.[2]Шаблон:R At the beginning of 328 BC, Asander and Nearchus led a number of Greek mercenaries to join Alexander, who was then located at Zariaspa.[4]Шаблон:R[5]
Satrap of Caria
In the division of the empire after the death of Alexander in 323 BC, Asander obtained Caria for his satrapy, in which he was afterwards confirmed by Antipater.Шаблон:R[6][7] While acting as satrap of Caria, he fought at the command of Antipater against Attalus and Alcetas, both supporters of Perdiccas,Шаблон:R but was defeated by them. He also supported the Iranian colonists in Caria by increasing the position of local Zoroastrians.[8]
In 317 BC, while Antigonus was campaigning against Eumenes in Persia and Media, Asander increased his power in Anatolia, expanding into Lycia and Cappadocia; and was undoubtedly a member of the alliance which was formed by Ptolemy, ruler of Egypt, and Cassander, ruler of Macedonia, against Antigonus.[6][9] In 315 BC, when Antigonus began his operations against the forces allied against him, he sent a general named Ptolemy, a nephew of his, with an army to relieve Amisus, and to expel from Cappadocia the army loyal to Asander which had invaded that country.[5][10] However, as Asander was supported by Ptolemy and Cassander,Шаблон:R he was able to maintain his control of his territories.
In 313 BC, Antigonus decided to march against Asander and forced him to conclude a treaty with him under which he was required to surrender his whole army,[6] to restore the areas he had expanded into back to the satraps who had previously controlled those areas, to regard his satrapy of Caria as subject to the gift of Antigonus,[11] and to surrender his brother Agathon as a hostage. After a few days, Asander breached this humiliating treaty. He managed to get his brother out of the hands of Antigonus and sent ambassadors to Ptolemy and Seleucus seeking their assistance. Antigonus was indignant at these acts and immediately sent out an army to restore the territories covered by the treaty by force of arms. Caria also appears to have been conquered and from this time Asander disappears from the historical record.Шаблон:R
