The intense bonds among the king and his family, friends, lovers,
and entourage are the most enticing and intriguing aspects of
Alexander the Great's life. The affective ties of the protagonists
of Alexander's Empire nurtured the interest of the ancient authors,
as well as the audience, in the personal life of the most famous
men and women of the time. These relations echoed through time in
art and literature, to become paradigm of positive or negative,
human behavior. By rejecting the perception of the Macedonian
monarchy as a positivist king-army based system, and by looking for
other political and social structures Elizabeth Carney has played a
crucial role in prompting the current re-appraisal of the
Macedonian monarchy. Her volumes on Women and Monarchy in Ancient
Macedonia (University of Oklahoma Press, 2000), Olympias: Mother of
Alexander the Great (Routledge, 2006), Arsinoe of Egypt and
Macedon: A Royal Life. (Oxford University Press, 2013) have been
game-changers in the field and has offered the academic world a
completely new perspective on the network of relationships
surrounding the exercise of power. By examining Macedonian and
Hellenistic dynastic behavior and relations, she has shown the
political yet tragic, heroic thus human side, thus connecting
Hellenistic political and social history. Building on the
methodological approach and theoretical framework engendered by
Elizabeth Carney's research, this book explores the complex web of
personal relations, inside and outside the oikos (family),
governing Alexander's world, which sits at the core of the inquiry
into the human side of the events shedding light light on the
personal dimension of history. Inspired by Carney's seminal work on
Ancient Macedonia, the volume moves beyond the traditionally
rationalist and positivist approaches towards Hellenistic
antiquity, into a new area of humanistic scholarship, by
considering the dynastic bloodlines as well as the affective
relations. The volume offers a discussion of the intra and extra
familial network ruling the Mediterranean world at the time of
Philip and Alexander. Building on present scholarship on relations
and values in Hellenistic Monarchies, the book contributes to a
deeper historical understanding of the mutual dialogue between the
socio-cultural and political approaches to Hellenistic history.
Ptolemy I, whose epithet was Savior, was in many respects the most
successful of all of Alexander the Great’s successors. He created
the longest lasting of the Hellenistic kingdoms that rose in the
aftermath of the great conqueror’s death, ending with the death
of Cleopatra VII and Egypt’s incorporation into the Roman Empire.
This book is not a standard biography, but rather an examination of
the major issues surrounding Ptolemy’s reign, the major
controversies and questions surrounding his career and legacy. What
were his ultimate ambitions? How did he administer his kingdom?
What was his role in the demise of the unified empire created by
Alexander? Ptolemy's administration of this foreign land, although
privileging colonists from Greece and Macedonia over native
Egyptians, maintained a level of political stability in a land with
a long history of resisting foreign rule. Each of the key themes
discussed in the chapters follows a chronological order so that
readers unfamiliar with the life of Ptolemy can follow the
narrative. Each chapter includes a discussion of the major academic
positions on each issue and an evaluation of the primary historical
and archaeological evidence. Ptolemy I Soter: Themes and Issues
brings new clarity to the history of one of the chief architects of
the Hellenistic Age.
Philip II was not only the father of Alexander the Great, but in
many respects was also the father of his son’s incredible career.
It was the father who unified Macedonia into the first European
nation and who created the army with which his son conquered the
Persian Empire and inaugurated the Hellenistic Age. This volume is
not the standard biography, but rather an examination of the major
controversies concerning his life and reign. How did Philip in
roughly twenty years transform a divided territory and little more
than a geographical conception into a national state? How did he
change the very nature of ancient Western warfare? How did he
transform this formerly exploited region into the master of the
Greek world? Each chapter discusses one of the major academic
controversies surrounding this transformative figure, bringing new
clarity to the career of a man whose reputation has been so
overshadowed by his illustrious son.
