9781782979234: Greece, Macedon and Persia

Synopsis

Greece, Macedon and Persia contains a collection of papers related to the history and historiography of warfare, politics and power in the Ancient Mediterranean world. The contributions, written by 19 recognized experts from a variety of methodological and evidentiary perspectives, show how ancient peoples considered war and conflict at the heart of social, political and economic activity. Though focusing on a single theme – war – the papers are firmly based in the context of the wider social and literary issues of Ancient Mediterranean scholarship and as such, consider war and conflict as part of a complex matrix of culture in which historical actors articulate their relationships with society and historical authors articulate their relationships with history. The result is a rich understanding of Ancient World history and history-writing. The volume is presented in honor of Waldemar Heckel, a foremost scholar of Alexander the Great and ancient warfare.

Review

Greece, Macedon and Persia provides papers on a mix of topics of broad interest to historians of the Macedonian kingdoms. It will be of particular interest to scholars of Macedonian prosopography and military history of Alexander's campaigns and to those interested in the use of interdisciplinary theoretical methodologies. (Hamish Cameron CJ-Online, 2016.04.07)

"Waldemar Heckel is, without any trace of doubt, one of the most influential experts in the world about Ancient Macedonia ... a well recommended book [with] a selection of leading scholars in the field of Ancient Macedonian and Hellenistic History." (M. PACHÓN Karanos)
