The satrapies he fought may have included Eudemus, ruler in western Punjab until his departure in 317 BCE ; and Peithon, son of Agenor, ruler of the Greek colonies along the Indus until his departure for Babylon in 316 BCE.

The Greek generals Eudemus, and Peithon, ruled until around 316 BCE, when Chandragupta Maurya ( with the help of Chanakya, who was now his advisor ) utterly defeated the Macedonians and consolidated the region under the control of his new seat of power in Magadha.

Chandragupta ultimately occupied Northwestern India, in the territories formerly ruled by the Greeks, where he fought the satraps ( described as " Prefects " in Western sources ) left in place after Alexander ( Justin ), among whom may have been Eudemus, ruler in the western Punjab until his departure in 317 BCE or Peithon, son of Agenor, ruler of the Greek colonies along the Indus until his departure for Babylon in 316 BCE.

Meanwhile, Peithon suppressed a revolt of Greek settlers in the eastern parts of the Empire, and Perdiccas and Eumenes subdued Cappadocia.

Another general also ruled over the Greek colonies of the Indus: Peithon, son of Agenor, until his departure for Babylon in 316 BC.

He is also not mentioned as holding any major independent position during the battle, unlike, for example, Craterus, Hephaistion, Peithon and Leonnatus – each of whom had sizable detachments under his control.

Peithon arrived at Babylon in the autumn or winter of 317 BC.

In the spring of 316 BC, Seleucus and Peithon joined Antigonus, who was following Eumenes to Susa.

Antigonus spent the winter of 316 BC in Media, whose ruler was once again Peithon.

Perdiccas was assassinated by his officers ( Peithon, Antigenes, and Seleucus ) sometime in either 321 or 320 BC.

In the territory of the Indus, he nominated his officer Peithon as a satrap, a position he would hold for the next ten years until 316 BC, and in the Punjab he left Eudemus in charge of the army, at the side of the satrap Porus and Taxiles.

Peithon was named one of the seven ( later eight ) Somatophylakes " bodyguards " of Alexander in 335 BC.

After Alexander's death in 323 BC, Peithon was made the satrap of Media, the strategically important region that controlled all roads between east and west.

In the summer of 320 BC, Peithon, Seleucus, and Antigenes murdered Perdiccas and started negotiating with their opponents.

From 317 BC however, the other eastern satraps united against Peithon and drove him out.

Seleucus ' Babylon was surrounded by Peucestas, the satrap of Persis ; Antigenes, the new satrap of Susiana and Peithon of Media.

Just like Peithon and Seleucus, Eumenes was one of the former supporters of Perdiccas.

Peithon was finally defeated in a battle waged in Parthia.

Eumenes and his army were north of Babylon ; Antigonus was following him with an even larger army ; Peithon was in Media and his opponents in Susiana.

Antigenes was in Cilicia when the war between him and Peithon began.

Eurydice moved deftly enough to obtain the removal of the first two designed regents, Peithon and Arrhidaeus, but was powerless to block the too powerful Antipater: the latter was made new regent and Philip Arrhidaeus and his wife were forced to follow him to Macedonia.

The former Achaemenid satrapy of Media was divided into two states: The greater ( southern ) part-Media Magna was assigned to Peithon, one of Alexander's bodyguards.

Although Eumenes defeated the rebels in Asia Minor, in a battle at which Craterus was killed, it was all for nought, as Perdiccas himself was murdered by his own generals Peithon, Seleucus, and Antigenes during an invasion of Egypt.

Although Eumenes defeated the rebels in Asia Minor, in a battle at which Craterus was killed, it was all for nought, as Perdiccas himself was murdered by his own generals Peithon, Seleucus, and Antigenes during an invasion of Egypt.

Actually, the satrapy was too large for one man ; Peithon would be very powerful, and could destabilize the entire empire.

Peithon was saved by Antigonus who beat both Eumenes and his new allies at a battle near Susa.

* Alexander the Great leaves India and nominates his officer Peithon, son of Agenor, as the satrap of the region around the Indus.

Peithon, son of Agenor, whom Antigonus had nominated as the new satrap of Babylon, fell in the battle.

The armies of the eastern satrapies, including contingents from India sent by another Peithon, son of Agenor, the satrap of the Indus, were joined by Eumenes who had been appointed by the new regent Polyperchon to subdue Antigonus.

* Peithon, the Macedonian satrap of Media, suppresses a rebellion of Macedonian veterans.

So Antigonus tricks Peithon to come to his court, where Antigonus has him executed.

* Peithon consolidates his power base in the eastern part of the Empire.

Several other powerful men supported Perdiccas, including Ptolemy, Lysimachus, Peithon and Eumenes.

Perdiccas and his troops followed him to Egypt, whereupon Ptolemy conspired with the satrap of Media, Peithon, and the commander of the Argyraspides, Antigenes, both serving as officers under Perdiccas, and assassinated him.

Peithon, the satrap of Media, assassinated Philip, the satrap of Parthia, and replaced him with his brother Eudemus as the new satrap.

Peithon assembled a large army of perhaps over 20, 000 soldiers.

Peithon had lost a large number of troops, but Seleucus had even fewer soldiers.

Antigonus, however, discovered the plot and executed Peithon.

The death of Peithon gave Seleucus an opportunity to return to Babylon.
