As David Lee Roth once said, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you looked doing it!" Actually his dad said that, but we're pretty sure he learned it from Ptolemy! This guy is the wizard behind the curtain, even if we have no wizards and no curtains. Plus, he'll really teach you how to beef up your résumé. Come hear part one of the story of Ptolemy Soter!

Valentine's Day is all about being with that special person in your life. But if you're Demetrius, then it's the special four, five, or even six people in your life; that is, until your own people defect to some rando and kick you out of your own country because they hate you and then you have to go back on the run and get lost in Asia until your get captured by your own stepson (who's old enough to be your dad). Yeah... Demetrius had a good life... Oh and now we sell perfume... or cologne... or something.

It’s CASSANDER!!!!! Apparently he did stuff… maybe… We do know he was there, somewhere, and there was some hubbub between him and Olympias. Oh but there’s also cannibalism and the last food delivery service you’ll ever sign up for!

Antigonus the One-Eyed was a big man, so big in fact that his story couldn’t be contained in a single episode. In part one we learn all about Antigonus’ parenting style, horrible dad jokes, and we finally, FINALLY deal with those pesky Silver Shields. Plus, Meredith regrets being an organ donor.
