For a century following the end of the Lamian War in 322 B.C.,
Athens' harbour at Pireus was almost constantly occupied by a
Macedonian garrison. The Macedonian presence dealt a crucial blow
to Athenian independence and Athenian democracy, initiating the
first in a long and intermittent series of foreign occupations. The
twenty-eight papers in this volume are based on an international
conference hosted by the University of Athens in May 2001, and
focus on various aspects of Athenian art, archaeology and history
in the century of Macedonian domination. They consider Athens' new
role as a political stepping stone for potential Successors to the
throne of Macedon - Cassander, Demetrios Poliorketes and Antigonos
Gonatas were each able to secure Macedonia by using Athens as a
power base - and the ways in which Athenian culture was affected by
the Macedonian presence. They contribute to the ongoing debate
about the reasons for the Macedonian ascendancy, the degree of
independence accorded Athens by their Macedonian overlords, the
third-century archon list, and changes in Athenian art and
architecture.
