The Life of Eumenes by Plutarch
Eumenes was a Greek general and satrap. He participated in the Wars of Alexander the Great, serving as both Alexander's personal secretary and as a battlefield commander. He later was a participant in the Wars of the Diadochi as a supporter of the Macedonian Argead royal house.
In the distribution of the empire after Alexander’s death, he was assigned Cappadocia in eastern Asia Minor. He gave valuable aid to the regent Perdiccas, Alexander’s legitimate successor, in Perdiccas’ struggle against the rebel Macedonian generals Antigonus Monophthalmus, Antipater, Craterus, and Ptolemy, each of whom controlled different parts of the empire.
After the murder of Perdiccas by his own men, the rebel generals gathered at Triparadisus and condemned Eumenes to death. He escaped but was recognized ...

Eumenes of Cardia, Part 1 | Alexander's Most Unexpected Successor | Hellenistic History
The turbulent life of Eumenes of Cardia was one rollercoaster from start to finish: starting out as a mere secretary, he would one day prove himself to be a brilliant general - cast in the mould of the great Alexander himself.

Eumenes of Kardia, executed with reluctance in 316 BCE
One of the most famous Successors, Eumenes of Kardia was a Greek who had risen to prominence as Alexander's secretary. Due to Plutarch's Life of Eumenes and his reputation as a champion for the Argead dynasty, Eumenes has largely been hailed as a hero. While Eumenes was admirable on many levels, I argue that neither the man himself nor his motives were as pure as the driven snow.

The Stoa of Eumenes was a Hellenistic Colonnade. - Acropolis Greece - ECTV
The Stoa of Eumenes[1] was a Hellenistic colonnade built on the South slope of the Acropolis, Athens and which lay between the Theater of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus The gallery was donated to the city of Athens by the king of Pergamon, Eumenes II (197–159 BC), around 160 BC.[2] Vitruvius makes reference to the building when speaking about the purpose of stoai erected near theatres that served as a refuge for the spectators in inclement weather conditions or as stores for theatre props.[3]
The Stoa of Eumenes was constructed south of the Asklepieion staircase and the peripatos, on an artificial terrace of 9m x 13ms. To retain the pathway to the north an arched retaining wall was constructed along the northern edge of the site. Along this wall, the remains of which now domi...

Éumenes de Cardia y su lealtad a la familia de Alejandro Magno
Éumenes de Cardia (en griego antiguo Ευμένης) (362 a. C.-316 a. C.) fue un general y erudito griego, partidario de la casa real macedonia de los argéadas durante los conflictos conocidos como guerras de los diádocos.
Éumenes era natural de Cardia, en el Quersoneso Tracio. A una edad temprana, Filipo II lo empleó como secretario privado y, después de la muerte de este, pasó al servicio de su hijo, Alejandro Magno, al cual acompañó a Asia. Durante su expedición, Eumenes fue uno de los más cercanos al entorno del conquistador, que le encargó diversos mandos militares y le introdujo en su familia al darle por esposa (en la boda masiva de Susa en 324 a. C.) a Artonis, hermana de la reina Barsine. Después de la muerte de Alejandro (323 a. C.), Éumenes defendió con firmeza la unidad del imperio,...

Eumenes was a Greek general and satrap. He participated in the Wars of
Alexander the Great, serving as both Alexander's personal secretary and as a battlefield commander. He later was a participant in the Wars of the Diadochi as a supporter of the Macedonian Argead royal house.
In the distribution of the empire after Alexander’s death, he was assigned Cappadocia in eastern
Asia Minor. He gave valuable aid to the regent Perdiccas, Alexander’s legitimate successor, in Perdiccas’ struggle against the rebel Macedonian generals Antigonus Monophthalmus, Antipater, Craterus, and Ptolemy, each of whom controlled different parts of the empire.
After the murder of Perdiccas by his own men, the rebel generals gathered at Triparadisus and condemned Eumenes to death. He escaped but was recognized two years later by the new regent (Polyperchon) as the royal general in Asia. Eumenes collected an army in Cilicia and marched toward the eastern provinces, pursued by Antigonus. Eumenes held Antigonus in check during a long and hard campaign on the Iranian plateau, but he was finally betrayed to the enemy.
Eumenes was executed after the Battle of Gabiene in 316 BC.

One of the most famous Successors, Eumenes of Kardia was a Greek who had risen to prominence as Alexander's secretary. Due to Plutarch's Life of Eumenes and his reputation as a champion for the Argead dynasty, Eumenes has largely been hailed as a hero. While Eumenes was admirable on many levels, I argue that neither the man himself nor his motives were as pure as the driven snow.

Explore the Gate of Eumenes, the lower marketplace, the House of Attalus, and more in the city of Pergamum on today’s program with Rick Renner. To order the series and book offer click SHOW MORE.
Pergamum was possibly the darkest pagan city in the First Century when Gospel preachers first arrived there. But armed with the power of the Holy Spirit, they penetrated that spiritual darkness, and the Church was born in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the series Take a Tour With Rick: Pergamum, Rick Renner walks you through the entire site of Pergamum. With permission from local authorities, every door was opened to Rick and his film crew to give you the most in-depth and all-inclusive tour of this once-formidable city. This is truly a one-of-a-kind tour of Pergamum — and you’ll join Rick as he walks you step by step through each site and teaches you all along the way. https://renner.org/product/take-a-tour-with-rick-pergamum/
In No Room for Compromise: Christs Message to Todays Church, Rick Renner sets forth his most prophetic book to date. With a sobering charge to Christian leadership to stand up for faith in Christ — regardless of the price required to proclaim it in its purest form — Renner’s message is a clarion call: Winds of opposition against the Church are gathering. As pagan influences continue to increase in these last days, Christianity will once again become completely out of sync with the times with its message that Christ alone is the way to the Father.

The Stoa of Eumenes[1] was a Hellenistic colonnade built on the South slope of the Acropolis, Athens and which lay between the Theater of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus The gallery was donated to the city of Athens by the king of Pergamon, Eumenes II (197–159 BC), around 160 BC.[2] Vitruvius makes reference to the building when speaking about the purpose of stoai erected near theatres that served as a refuge for the spectators in inclement weather conditions or as stores for theatre props.[3]
The Stoa of Eumenes was constructed south of the Asklepieion staircase and the peripatos, on an artificial terrace of 9m x 13ms. To retain the pathway to the north an arched retaining wall was constructed along the northern edge of the site. Along this wall, the remains of which now dominate the site, the arcade was built. A substantial part of its northern wall, which is made from breccia and limestone and faced with Hymettian and Pentelic marble, is still preserved. Today, the ancient level of the stoa floor has been restored, with many of the pillars of the ground floor colonnade still in place. The foundations on which the arcade was built is located to the northwest of the Choragic Monument of Nikias and on the same level as the broad terrace in front of the stoa which is 32 m wide at its eastern end and 20 m west. To the south, it is bordered by a retaining wall, a considerable part of which has been preserved.
The arcade was two-storey, 163 m long and 17.65 m wide. The ground floor facade was formed by a colonnade with 64 Doric columns, while along the lengthwise axis of the building there was a second series of 32 columns of the Ionic order. On the upper storey, the exterior colonnade had the equivalent number of double-semicolumns of Ionic order and the interior columns had the rather rarer type of capitals, the Pergamene order.[4] The two floors were connected externally by two stairs that formed at either end of the arcade. Viewers from the lower part of the theatre had access to the ground floor of the gallery through the western parodos The Stoa of Eumenes bears a great resemblance to the form of the Stoa of Attalos in the Ancient Agora of Athens erected by Eumenes' brother, Attalos II.[5]
As a careful study of the fragmentary remains of the capitals and cornice showed that the building was for the most part made of a kind of island marble from which most of the buildings in Pergamon were built, while it is not found in other Athens buildings. Most of the architectural members of the arcade would likely have been built in Pergamon and shipped to Athens.[6]
In the 2nd century AD, the western end of the Eumenes Stoa was connected to the Odeon of Herod Atticus by a staircase at the eastern end of its interior. The gallery was in use until the 3rd century AD, when it was destroyed and its material used in the construction of the Valerian wall. In the middle of the 13th century, the northern retaining wall of the arcade was incorporated into the Rizokastro Wall built around the Acropolis rock.[7]
The ruins of the Stoa of Eumenes were uncovered by the Archaeological Society of Athens in the years 1877-78.

The ground floor facade was formed by a colonnade with 64 Doric columns, while along the lengthwise axis of the building there was a second series of 32 columns of the Ionic order. On the upper storey, the exterior colonnade had the equivalent number of double-semicolumns of Ionic order and the interior columns had the rather rarer type of capitals, the Pergamene order.[4] The two floors were connected externally by two stairs that formed at either end of the arcade. Viewers from the lower part of the theatre had access to the ground floor of the gallery through the western parodos The Stoa of Eumenes bears a great resemblance to the form of the Stoa of Attalos in the Ancient Agora of Athens erected by Eumenes' brother, Attalos II.[5]
As a careful study of the fragmentary remains of the capitals and cornice showed that the building was for the most part made of a kind of island marble from which most of the buildings in Pergamon were built, while it is not found in other Athens buildings. Most of the architectural members of the arcade would likely have been built in Pergamon and shipped to Athens.[6]
In the 2nd century AD, the western end of the Eumenes Stoa was connected to the Odeon of Herod Atticus by a staircase at the eastern end of its interior. The gallery was in use until the 3rd century AD, when it was destroyed and its material used in the construction of the Valerian wall. In the middle of the 13th century, the northern retaining wall of the arcade was incorporated into the Rizokastro Wall built around the Acropolis rock.[7]
The ruins of the Stoa of Eumenes were uncovered by the Archaeological Society of Athens in the years 1877-78.

Éumenes de Cardia y su lealtad a la familia de Alejandro Magno

Éumenes de Cardia (en griego antiguo Ευμένης) (362 a. C.-316 a. C.) fue un general y erudito griego, partidario de la casa real macedonia de los argéadas durante los conflictos conocidos como guerras de los diádocos.
Éumenes era natural de Cardia, en el Quersoneso Tracio. A una edad temprana, Filipo II lo empleó como secretario privado y, después de la muerte de este, pasó al servicio de su hijo, Alejandro Magno, al cual acompañó a Asia. Durante su expedición, Eumenes fue uno de los más cercanos al entorno del conquistador, que le encargó diversos mandos militares y le introdujo en su familia al darle por esposa (en la boda masiva de Susa en 324 a. C.) a Artonis, hermana de la reina Barsine. Después de la muerte de Alejandro (323 a. C.), Éumenes defendió con firmeza la unidad del imperio, formando parte de los soldados macedonios que luchaban apoyando al hijo del Magno, Alejandro IV de Macedonia, aliándose en consecuencia con Pérdicas.
En el reparto provincial de Babilonia, Capadocia y Paflagonia fueron asignadas a Éumenes; pero como todavía no estaban sometidas, pues gobernaba en ellas la dinasta persa Ariarates, Pérdicas ordenó a Leonato y a Antígono que las aseguraran para él. Antígono, sin embargo, no hizo caso de la orden, y Leonato procuró convencer a Éumenes en vano de que lo acompañara a Europa y compartiera sus proyectos de gran envergadura. Eumenes se unió a Pérdicas, que derrotó a Ariarates y lo instaló en la Capadocia.
Cuando Crátero y Antípatro, habiendo ya sometido Grecia en la Guerra Lamiaca, estaban preparados para ir a Asia y derrotar a Pérdicas, su primer objetivo fue la Capadocia. Rápidamente organizaron un ejército de 20.000 infantes y 5.000 jintes.1 Crátero y Neoptólemo, sátrapa de Armenia, con 20.000 infantes y 2.000 jinetes1 fueron derrotados totalmente por Eumenes en una batalla transcurrida cerca del Helesponto, en 321 a. C., Neoptólemo fue asesinado, y Crátero murió de sus heridas.
Después del asesinato de Pérdicas en Egipto por sus propios soldados (320 a. C.), los generales macedonios condenaron a muerte a Éumenes, y el consejo decidió que Antípatro y Antígono deberían llevar a cabo la sentencia. Éumenes, que fue condenado por uno de sus oficiales, huyó a Nora, una poderosa fortaleza en la frontera entre Capadocia y Licaonia, donde permaneció más de un año, hasta que la muerte de Antípatro descontroló a sus enemigos. Logró, pues, escapar de Nora, pero perdió su satrapía.
En la nueva guerra surgida tras la muerte de Antípatro, Éumenes se alió con el regente Poliperconte, al que Antípatro había legado su posición en detrimento de su propio hijo Casandro. Casandro, por lo tanto, se alió con Antígono, Lisímaco y Ptolomeo. Poliperconte nombró a Éumenes estratego de Asia, y con la ayuda de Anígenes se enfrentó a Antígono (con 10 000 infantes, 2.000 jinetes y 30 elefantes) al que derrotó cerca de Orcynii (Capadocia)1 y expulsó a Ptolomeo de Siria y Fenicia.
En el año 318 a. C., Antígono marchó nuevamente contra él con un ejército de 60.000 infantes, 10 000 jinetes y 30 elefantes,1 y Éumenes se retiró al Este para unirse con los sátrapas de las provincias más allá del río Tigris. En estas circunstancias, Éumenes, que por su origen griego contaba con pocas simpatías entre los antiguos macedonios, introdujo el culto a Alejandro, haciendo elevar un altar ante el trono y los ornamentos del difunto rey y haciendo sacrificios diarios.
Perseguido por Antígono, Éumenes fue vencido en las batallas de Paraitacene (317 a. C.) y Gabiene (316 a. C.), traicionado por Peucestas y entregado por sus propios soldados a Antígono. Según Plutarco y Diodoro, Éumenes había ganado la batalla pero perdió el bagaje de su ejército. Este bagaje era todo el botín que los veteranos macedonios (llamados Argyraspides (argiráspidas), o escudos de plata) habían acumulado durante 30 años de exitosas campañas. Contenía no solo oro y joyas, sino también a sus mujeres e hijos. Antígono envió un mensaje a los argiráspidas diciéndoles que les devolvería su bagaje si ellos le entregaban a Eumenes, cosa que estos hicieron.
Antígono, tras considerarlo por un tiempo, ordenó la ejecución de su enemigo.
