The fact that Cassander named it after himself suggests that he may have intended it to be his capital, and if the canal which cuts the peninsula at this point was dug or at least planned in his time, he may have intended to develop his naval forces using it as a base with two harbours on the east and west sides. The territory also at one time comprised the areas of Olynthus and Mekyberna to the northeast, Bottiaea to the northwest and the small peninsula of Pallene now Kassandra to the east.

He was a favorite of the people on account of his noble descent and handsome presence, and thus became an object of fear to Herod, who at first sought to ignore him entirely by debarring him from the high priesthood. But his mother Alexandra Maccabeus 63 BC 28 BC , through intercession with Cleopatra VII of Egypt Cleopatra and Mark Antony , compelled Herod to remove Hananel from the office of High Priest and appoint Aristobulus instead. To secure himself against danger from Aristobulus, Herod instituted a system of espionage against him and his mother. This surveillance proved so onerous that they sought to gain their freedom by taking refuge with Cleopatra. Their plans were betrayed, however, and the disclosure had the effect of greatly increasing Herod s suspicions against his brother in law. As he dared not resort to open violence, he caused him to be drowned while he was bathing in Jericho . This article was taken from the Jewish Encyclopedia 1903 .
