Image on the mountains and black title on the binding.A very well kept bookWhen Alexander the Great died in 323 BC without a chosen successor he left behind a huge empire and ushered in a turbulent period, as his generals fought for control of vast territories. The time of the Successors (Diadochi) is usually defined as beginning in 323 BC and ending with the deaths of the last two Successors in 281 BC. This is a major publication devoted to the Successors and contains eighteen papers reflecting current research.Several papers attempt to unravel the source history of the very limited remaining narrative accounts, and add additional materials through cuneiform and Byzantine texts. Specific historical issues addressed include the role of so-called royal flatterers and whether or not Alexander's old guard did continue to serve into their sixties and seventies.Three papers reflect the recent conscious effort by many to break away from the Hellenocentric view of the predominantly Greek sources, by examining the role of the conquered, specifically the prominent roles played by Iranians in the administration and military of Alexander and his Successors, pockets of Iranian resistance which eventually blossomed into Hellenistic kingdoms ruled by sovereigns proclaiming their direct connection to an Iranian past and a continuation of Iranian influence through an examination of the roles played by certain of the Diadochis Iranian wives.The papers in the final section analyse the use of varying forms of propaganda. These include the use of the concept of Freedom of the Greeks as a means of manipulating opinion in the Greek world; how Ptolemy used a snake cult associated with the foundation of Alexandria in Egypt to link his kingship with that of Alexander; and the employment of elephant images to advertise the authority of particular rulers.Edward M.

Boston: Brill, 2000. Paperback. Good +. Paperback. 9 1/2" X 6 1/4". xii, 261pp. Mild rubbing and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper wraps. Faint line of toning to fore-edge of text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This comprehensive work covers many different Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts and movements from the second century BCE through the fourth century CE. It focuses on two major themes, cosmology - which studies the structure of the universe, including its religious function - and eschatology, which interprets history and the future. The relevant Jewish texts and history are discussed thoroughly in their own right. The Christian material is approached in a way that shows both its continuity with Jewish tradition and its distinctiveness.(Publisher)., Brill, 2000, 2.5, Leiden & Boston : Brill, (2018). First edition. The first attempt fully to analyse the books (and other printed materials) entered for publication in the Stationers' Register to 1640, but which no longer survive. The author's estimate of the sheer extent of loss - perhaps 20,000 pieces of printing in all - books, ballads, news-books, broadsides, religious tracts, almanacs, plays, verse, music, etc., are dealt with in turn - perhaps skews our entire understanding of the period. With an extensive and useful bibliography. In the "Library of the Written Word" series. Medium 8vo (25cm). [xii],224,[viii]pp. Figures and graphs, some coloured. Original yellow cloth, lettered in blue; a very good copy indeed in the dust-jacket - the jacket equally very good., Leiden & Boston : Brill, (2018)., 0, Brill, 2006-08-07. hardcover.
