AFter her death, Cassander gaue honourable buriall to Aridaeus and Eurydice, a∣mong their Progenitors, Kings of Macedon. And looking further into his owne possibilities of greatnesse, he married the Lady Thessalonica, whom he had taken at Pydna, being the daughter of King Philip, by another of his wiues; that by her he [unspec 30] might haue some title to the Crowne. For the same end he committed Roxane, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 yong sonne, to close prison, remouing thereby some part of his impediment. And, the better to encrease his fame, and purchase loue, built a Citie, called by his owne name Cassandria, that soone grew to be very great and powerfull. He reae∣dified likewise Thebes in Greece, and restored it vnto the old inhabitants, after it had laine twentie yeeres waste, being vtterly razed by Alexander. By these meanes, espe∣cially by the restauration of Thebes, whereunto all Greece voluntarily contributed, he grew so strong, that few remained enemies vnto him; and they, with much labour, hardly could resist him. Leauing him therefore daily preuailing in Greece, we will returne to them, who contended in Asia, [unspec 40] for lesse titles, but larger Prouinces, with greater forces. [unspec 50]
