The historian Hieronymus of Cardia was at this battle, and his work survives through the writings of Diodorus. In its wake, the Battle of Corupedium pitted two of the victors against each other. Its participants included Cassander, who received help from Lysimachus of Thrace, after the initial attack which saw 75 elephants under the command of Demetrius who was controlling the armies of his father Antigonus the One-Eyed. Fought by Antigonus against a coalition including Seleucus I, FTP, name this 301 BC battle which ended any hope that a Diadochi would restore the empire of Alexander the Great, not to be confused with a very similarly-named battle earlier fought by Alexander.
