Conceived of as a companion volume to Crossroads of History: The Age of Alexander, this collection of papers stems from the second international symposium on the topic of Alexander the Great and his era. The papers by respected Classicists in this volume cover the time frame from the formation of the empire through the period of the Diadochoi. Sixteen essays on a variety of specific aspects of the empire are included, written by Craig Cooper, Frances Pownall, Elizabeth D. Carney, Lynette Mitchell, Daniel Ogden, Victor Alonso, Winthrop Lindsay Adams, Stanley M. Burstein, Michael Dixon, Pat Wheatley, Edward M. Anson, Tom Boiy, Christopher Epplett, Jeanne Reames, Boris Dreyer, and Waldemar Heckel. Within the range of the period of Alexander, the papers include topics as diverse as early Hellenistic chronology, the games of Alexander, problems in early Diadoch sources, and Alexander’s sexuality. Essential reading for any lover of Classical history or the ancient world, this set of materials will enhance the library of Alexander specialists and laity alike.
