The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names is a unique and momentous on-going scholarly project. Its intention is to provide those engaged in the study of the Greek world with a list, accompanied by full, itemized evidence, of any personal name known from literature, inscriptions, papyri, vases, coins, and other objects. The chronological range is from the earliest period (though excluding Mycenean names) to about the seventh century AD; the arrangement, both with each of the alphabetically arranged entries and in the work as a whole, is regional. This first volume in the series covers the Aegean Islands, Cyprus, and Cyrenaica. Volume II, which has now also been published, covers Athens.

The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names offers scholars a fully documented listing of all known personal names from the ancient Greek world, drawing on all available evidence from the earliest times to about AD 600. This volume presents the onomastic material from Central Greece.

The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names offers scholars a fully documented listing of all known personal names from the ancient Greek world, drawing on all available evidence from the earliest times to about AD 600. The present volume, III.A, presents the onomastic material from the Peloponnese, Western Greece, Sicily, and Magna Graecia, continuing the series begun with Volume I, The Aegean Islands, Cyprus, and Cyrenaica, and Volume II, Attica.

This book provides a complete conspectus of the evidence for every identifiable resident of Athens in antiquity, except for foreigners whose ethnic is known. It is thus both a prosopography and an onomasticon in one. In the former capacity, it is the successor to the distinguished Prosopographia Attica of J. Kirchner, published in 1903; in the latter it provides the Athenian contribution to the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names series, edited by P. M. Fraser and E. Matthews. The evidence for the denizens of Athens in antiquity is substantially epigraphical in nature and most of the references in this work are to inscriptions. This is particularly so for the Hellenistic and Roman periods, when the literary sources all but fail. Since Kirchner completed his magisterial work, excavations, especially in the Athenian Agora, have brought to light a massive treasure trove of inscriptions. This volume incorporates the evidence from these new discoveries, brings up to date the (now) antiquated forms of references which render Kirchner's work so hard to use, and also includes the evidence from the Roman period. This volume will serve as an invaluable tool for scholars of ancient history and epigraphy, bringing together for the first time in ninety years the evidence for every individual of Ancient Athens who is known by name from the early Classical to the late Roman period.

Alexandria in Egypt is just one of the many "Alexandrias" - ancient cities traditionally founded by Alexander the Great. This book is the first to unravel the fascinating labyrinth behind this tradition - with its origins in a political pamphlet and a romantic novel. The book will force historians to alter radically their overall assessment of Alexander's achievements, arguing that far fewer cities were founded by Alexander than hitherto supposed.
