    "verified_text": "antioquia, an interior department of the republic of colombia, lying s. of bolivar, w. of the magdalena river, and e. of cauca. area, 22,870 sq. m.; pop. (est. 1899) 464,887. the greater part of its territory lies between the magdalena and cauca rivers and includes the northern end of the central cordillera. the country is covered with valuable forests, and its mineral wealth renders it one of the most important mining regions of the republic. the capital, medellin (est. pop. 53,000 in 1902), is a thriving mining centre, 4822 ft. above sea-level, and 125 m. from puerto berrio on the magdalena. other important towns are manizales (18,000) in the extreme south, the commercial centre of a rich gold and grazing region; antioquia, the old capital, on the cauca; and puerto berrio on the magdalena, from which a railway has been started to the capital. antiparos (anc. _oliaros_), an island of the kingdom of greece, in the modern eparchy of naxos, separated by a strait (about 1-1/2 m. wide at the narrowest point) from the west coast of pares. it is 7 m. long by 3 broad, and contains about 700 inhabitants, most of whom live in kastro, a village on the north coast, and are employed in agriculture and fishing. formerly piracy was common. the only remarkable feature in the island is a stalactite cavern on the south coast, which is reached by a narrow passage broken by two steep and dangerous descents which are accomplished by the aid of rope-ladders. the grotto itself, which is about 150 ft. by 100, and 50 ft. high (not all can be seen from any part, and probably some portions are still unexplored), shows many remarkable examples of stalactite formations and incrustations of dazzling brilliance. it is not mentioned by ancient writers; the first western traveller to visit it was the marquis de nointel (ambassador of louis xiv. to the porte) who descended it with a numerous suite and held high mass there on christmas day 1673. there is, however, in the entrance of the cavern an inscription recording the names of visitors in ancient times. see j.p. de tournefort, _relation d'un voyage au levant_ (1717); english edition, 1718, vol. i. p. 146, and guide-books to greece. antipater (398?-319 b.c.), macedonian general, and regent of macedonia during alexander's eastern expedition (334-323). he had previously (346) been sent as ambassador by philip to athens and negotiated peace after the battle of chaeroneia (338). about 332 he set out against the rebellious tribes of thrace; but before this insurrection was quelled, the spartan king agis had risen against macedonia. having settled affairs in thrace as well as he could, antipater hastened to the south, and in a battle near megalopolis (331) gained a complete victory over the insurgents (diodorus xvii. 62). his regency was greatly troubled by the ambition of olympias, mother of alexander, and he was nominally superseded by craterus. but, on the death of alexander in 323, he was, by the first partition of the empire, left in command of macedonia, and in the lamian war, at the battle of crannon (322), crushed the greeks who had attempted to re-assert their independence. later in the same year he and craterus were engaged in a war against the aetolians, when the news arrived from asia which induced antipater to conclude peace with them; for antigonus reported that perdiccas contemplated making himself sole master of the empire. antipater and craterus accordingly prepared for war against perdiccas, and allied themselves with ptolemy, the governor of egypt. antipater crossed over into asia in 321; and while still in syria, he received information that perdiccas had been murdered by his own soldiers. craterus fell in battle against eumenes (diodorus xviii. 25-39). antipater, now sole regent, made several new regulations, and having quelled a mutiny of his troops and commissioned antigonus to continue the war against eumenes and the other partisans of perdiccas, returned to macedonia, where he arrived in 320 (justin xiii. 6). soon after he was seized by an illness which terminated his active career, 319. passing over his son cassander, he appointed the aged polyperchon regent, a measure which gave rise to much confusion and ill-feeling (diodorus xvii., xviii).",
