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 honour of Waldemar Heckel, a foremost scholar of
Alexander the Great and ancient warfare.
