    "This book comprises ten contributions by leading scholars, and represents the most advanced writing in the field. They display a rich variety of methodologies, combining historical reconstruction and historiographical research. The volume includes a comparison of the Spanish conquest of Mexico with the Macedonians in the east, an analysis of the attested conspiracies at the Macedonian and Persian courts, and studies of panhellenic ideology and the concept of kingship. There is a radical new interpretation of the hunting fresco from Tomb II at Vergina, a new date for the pamphlet on Alexander's death which ends the Alexander Romance, and a re-interpretation of the bizarre portents of Alexander's death. The book ends with three chapters on historiography: a critical analysis of the rhetorically charged ancient descriptions of Alexander's behaviour, and enrichment of the source tradition of the reign through a study of Polybius, and an exploration of the resonances of contemporary politics in the extant histories from the Roman period."--BOOK JACKET.
