What did he <em>not</em> do?<br>
How about a close draw at Paraetacene vs. Eumenes, then the crushing blow at Gabiene?<br>
Sure, he failed to pin Seleucus down, but Ptolemy refused to meet him in battle, wich says a lot.<br>
And he only lost at Ipsus because of Demetrius's blunder.<br>
Truely a general in the mold of Alexander. <p></p><i></i>
