Question
A revolt sparked by news of this event ended after Letodorus betrayed his army of mercenaries following negotiations with Peithon. In his epitome of a history by Pompeius Trogus, the historian Justin claimed that a substance involved in this event could not be conveyed “in any other way than in the hoof of a horse.” Upon hearing about this event, a confederation of Greek states whose army was led by Leosthenes launched the Lamian War. The gymnosophist (*) Kalanos allegedly predicted this event right before self-immolating. Sisygambis locked herself in her room and starved herself to death following this event. An Egyptian cult centered on the subject of this event developed after Ptolemy I stole a central object and moved it to Memphis. For 10 points, name this event that occurred in Babylon in 323 BC, sparking the Wars of the Diadochi. ■END■
