Synopsis
This edition, one of the BCP Classics Companion Series, provides a translation and detailed commentary of the Greek and Macedonian narrative of Diodorus Book XVI. An outstanding general, statesman and diplomat, Philip II inherited a kingdom near collapse and transformed it into the greatest power in the Mediterranean world. But for all its significance, his reign is badly served by the surviving writers of Greek literature. The loss of the major contemporary historians has left us dependent for our knowledge on the speeches of the Attic orators, especially the hostile Demosthenes, and on the 16th Book of Diodorus Siculus, who though he lived some 300 years later, has bequeathed the only detailed account of Philip's reign in Macedonia and the Greek mainland.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This edition, one of the Bloomsbury Classics Companion Series, provides a translation and detailed commentary of the Greek and Macedonian narrative of Diodorus Book XVI. The reign of Philip II (359-336BC) saw the transformation of Macedon into the greatest power in the Mediterranean world. Philip II inherited a kingdom near collapse, but his outstanding qualities as a general, statesman and diplomat enabled him to end the feuding of individual Greek city states and create the political organisation of Greece by which his son Alexander conquered the Persian empire and inaugurated the Hellenistic age, which spread Greek culture through much of the Near East.Our knowledge of Alexander is served by a wide variouety of ancient sources but that of Philip depends almost entirely on contemporary speeches by Athenian orators, especially the hostile Demosthenes, and the Sixteenth Book of Didorus Siculus. Although he lived some 300 years after the events, Diodorus work remains our only detailed account by an ancient historian. Yet, despite its crucial importance it has been frequently overlooked by modern scholars. This volume makes it accessible in a new translation with detailed historical commentary for all those interested in the fascinating figure of Philip himself and the remarkable rise of Macedon as an ancient world power. A translation and detailed commentary of the narrative of Diodorus Book XVI. Philip II inherited a kingdom near collapse and transformed it into the greatest power in the Mediterranean world. This is an account by Diodorus Siculus of his reign in Macedonia and the Greek mainland. This item is printed on demand.
