Following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, one of his
commanders, Seleukos Nikator, rose over a period of forty years
from being a landless refugee to the most successful of the
Successor kings. This biography, first published in 1990, makes use
of both historical and archaeological sources to trace the stages
of Seleukos' life as he added province to province, kingdom to
kingdom, gradually building an empire which stretched from India to
Greece and founding a state which lasted for the next two
centuries. This strangely neglected figure in ancient history
emerges as a modestly proficient general, an excellent strategist,
a consummate diplomat, and an inventive and constructive ruler, the
diversity of his empire demanding intelligence of a high order to
hold it together. Seleukos Nikator will be of interest to students
of ancient history and the politics of the Hellenistic world.
