Recent scholars have analysed ways in which authors of the Roman
era appropriated the figure of Alexander the Great. The essays in
this collection cast a wider net, to show how Classical Greek,
Hellenistic and Roman authors reinterpreted and sometimes
misinterpreted information on ancient Macedonians to serve their
own literary and political aims. Although Roman ideas pervade the
historiographical tradition, this volume shows that the
manipulation of ancient Macedonian history largely occurred much
earlier. This yields a richer and more balanced reflection of both
the history and the historiography of this important and
controversial people.
