Greece, Macedon and Persia contains a collection of
papers related to the history and historiography of warfare,
politics and power in the Ancient Mediterranean world. The
contributions, written by 19 recognized experts from a variety of
methodological and evidentiary perspectives, show how ancient
peoples considered war and conflict at the heart of social,
political and economic activity. Though focusing on a single theme
– war – the papers are firmly based in the context of the wider
social and literary issues of Ancient Mediterranean scholarship and
as such, consider war and conflict as part of a complex matrix of
culture in which historical actors articulate their relationships
with society and historical authors articulate their relationships
with history. The result is a rich understanding of Ancient World
history and history-writing. The volume is presented in honor of
Waldemar Heckel, a foremost scholar of Alexander the Great and
ancient warfare.
