  • AI and the visualisation needs of researchers using email archives

    Open AccessPeter GreenARTICLEAI & Society2025

    Correspondence held in the collections of cultural institutions is an important resource for researchers, including historians, biographers, and social scientists. Email has been the dominant form of correspondence for the last 30 years and email archives are now being acquired by cultural institutions as a valuable resource for their collections. There are challenges in collecting, preserving and providing access to email archives, as with all b…

  • Alexander of Macedon, 356–323 B.C: A Historical Biography

    Peter GreenCHAPTERAlexander of Macedon, 356-323 B. C.2019

    Until recently, popular biographers and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. His dream was at times characterized as a benevolent interest in the brotherhood of man, sometimes as a brute interest in the exercise of power. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a …

  • Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age

    Peter GreenBOOKAlexander to Actium2019Cited by: 7

    The Hellenistic Age, the three extraordinary centuries from the death of Alexander in 323 B. C. to Octavian's final defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, has offered a rich and variegated field of exploration for historians, philosophers, economists, and literary critics. Yet few scholars have attempted the daunting task of seeing the period whole, of refracting its achievements and reception through the lens of a single critica…

  • Simr: An R package for power analysis of generalized linear mixed models by simulation

    Open AccessPeter Green, Catriona J MacLeod et al.ARTICLEMethods in Ecology and Evolution2016

    The r package simr allows users to calculate power for generalized linear mixed models from the lme 4 package. The power calculations are based on Monte Carlo simulations. It includes tools for (i) running a power analysis for a given model and design; and (ii) calculating power curves to assess trade‐offs between power and sample size. This paper presents a tutorial using a simple example of count data with mixed effects (with structure represen…

  • Cosmopolitanism and the Geographies of Freedom, David Harvey, New York: Columbia University Press, 2009

    Peter Green, Pete GreenARTICLEHistorical Materialism2012References: 3

    The work under review is, in contrast to recent more accessible work by Harvey, such as The Enigma of Capital , a highly condensed survey of a wide range of primarily philosophical investigations (including most notably Kant and Heidegger) relating to issues of cosmopolitanism and globalisation. Harvey emphasises the relevance of historical/geographical analysis neglected by most of the theorists he discusses. Politically he seeks to counterpose …

  • The Shadow of the ParthenonStudies in Ancient History and Literature

    Peter GreenBOOKShadow of the Parthenon2008

    A combination of scholarship and unorthodoxy makes these studies in ancient history and literature unusually rewarding. Few of the objects of conventional admiration gain much support from the author—Pericles and the “democracy” of fifth-century Athens are treated to a very cool scrutiny—but he has a warm regard for the real virtues of antiquity and for those who spoke with “an individual voice.” The studies cover both history and literature, Gre…

  • Diodorus Siculus on the Third Sacred War

    Open AccessPeter GreenOTHERA Companion to Greek and Roman…2007

    This examination of Diodorus' chronology relative to the early years of the Third Sacred War highlights a number of ongoing general problems inherent in his historiography. It takes a careful look at his (and others') conventions and extensions, not always fully understood, regarding the use of the Athenian archon-year. Above all, it treats Diodorus not as a near-imbecile but as the reasonably competent, if second-class, historian that he actuall…

  • Diodorus Siculus, Books 11-12.37.1: Greek History, 480-431 BC—the Alternative Version

    Peter GreenBOOKDiodorus Siculus, Books 11-12.…2006

    Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus (ca. 100-30 BCE) is our only surviving source for a continuous narrative of Greek history from Xerxes' invasion to the Wars of the Successors following the death of Alexander the Great. Yet this important historian has been consistently denigrated as a mere copyist who slavishly reproduced the works of earlier historians without understanding what he was writing. By contrast, in this iconoclastic work Peter Gre…

    Peter GreenBOOKFrom Ikaria to the Stars2004References: 13

    I hadn't, till I really started digging, gauged the fierce intensity of the need for myth in the human psyche, of any age, or sensed the variety of motives dictating that need," writes Peter Green in the introduction to this wide-ranging collection of essays on classical mythology and the mythic experience. Using the need for myth as the starting point for exploring a number of topics in Greek mythology and history, Green advances new ideas about…

    A naturalistic diary recording study was conducted to assess affective responses to everyday stress. Community-residing male participants made diary recordings regarding problem occurrence and mood several times a day for 8 days. In addition to reporting more frequent daily problems, persons scoring high in neuroticism were more reactive to stressors and were more distressed by recurrent problems than were persons scoring low in neuroticism.

The astonishing sea battle banished forever the specter of Persian invasion and oc…
