After Alexander died, his half-brother Philip III Arrhidacos assumed control of Alexander's empire, including Egypt. He was overthrown in six years and replaced by Alexander's posthumous son, another Alexander. He was murdered and his regent, Ptolemy I Soter I, one of Alexander's generals took over Egypt, establishing the Ptolemaic dynasty.
