Answer:

Ptolemaic dynasty

Step-by-step explanation:

When Alexander the Great died in the year 323 a. C., the empire that had conquered in the East was distributed among its generals, known as the diádocos. In Egypt, Ptolemy I Sóter (305-282 BC), who was the son of a Macedonian nobleman named Lake, seized power.

To take hold of power, Ptolemy I Sotter had to sustain a war against Perdicles, the regent appointed by Alexander the Great, who was trying to keep the Hellenistic empire together. Newspapers died in the attempt to conquer Egypt, and Ptolemy strengthened his dominion by means of the Triparadiso Pact (321) with the other diádocos.
