Who assassinated Perdiccas?

  • His own officers

  • Antipater

  • Antigonus

  • Ptolemy

Answer

The assassination of Perdiccas was orchestrated by his own officers, who conspired against him due to his increasingly authoritarian rule and his disregard for the opinions and counsel of his fellow commanders. This act of treachery ultimately led to the fragmentation of Alexander the Great's empire and the subsequent power struggles among the Macedonian generals, known as the Wars of the Diadochi.
