The undisputed winner of the Wars of the Diadochi (unlike that loser Seleucus)

In times when everything divides and all the powermongers are set upon each other, the best skill, the most reliable thing, is not to strive to have it all and probably fail like Antigonus . No, its to have had your eyes on the prime real estate from the start and get the most rich and sustainable domain and just camp there.

Ptolmey knew this. His ambition was tempered with caution and planning.

The Ptolemaic dynasty is cool but the most overrated of the diadochi... The Indo-Greeks will forever be the greatest civilization of the Hellenistic Age.
