Product Information

When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC without a chosen successor he left behind a huge empire and issued in a turbulent period, as his generals and relations fought for control of vast territories. The time of the Successors (Diadochi) is usually defined as beginning with the death of Alexander in 323 and ending with the deaths of the last two Successors in 281 BC. This is the first major publication to be entirely devoted to the Successors for many decades and contains eighteen papers reflecting current research. The period of the Diadochi relies on a very limited number of narrative sources, written long after the events being described. Several papers attempt to unravel the source history of the remaining narrative accounts, and add additional materials through cuneiform and Byzantine texts. Specific historical issues addressed include the role of so-called royal flatterers and whether or not Alexanders old guard did continue to serve into their sixties and seventies. Three papers reflect the recent conscious effort by many to break away from the Hellenocentric view of the predominantly Greek sources, by examining the role of the conquered in the realms that emerged after the death of the great conqueror, specifically the prominent roles played by Iranians in the administration and military of Alexander and his Successors, pockets of Iranian resistance which eventually blossomed into Hellenistic kingdoms ruled by sovereigns proclaiming their direct connection to an Iranian past and a continuation of Iranian influence through an examination of the roles played by certain of the Diadochis Iranian wives. The papers in the final section analyze the use of varying forms of propaganda. These include the use of the concept of Freedom of the Greeks as a means of manipulating opinion in the Greek world; how Ptolemy used a snake cult associated with the foundation of Alexandria in Egypt to link his kingship with that of Alexander; and the employment of elephant images to advertise the authority of particular rulers.

Great overall but wouldn’t hurt to use a little more padding to help protect the spine and corners of the book.
