Description

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.
