The Cambridge Companion to Alexander the Great
Has any ancient figure captivated the imagination of people over the centuries so much as Alexander the Great? In less than a decade he created an empire stretching across much of the Near East as far as India, which led to Greek culture becoming dominant in much of this region for a millennium. Here, an international team of experts clearly explains the life and career of one of the most significant figures in world history. They introduce key t…
Charismatic leaders in ancient Greece
This chapter examines the applicability and usefulness of Weber’s category of charisma to ancient Greek leadership by discussing his examples of Greek charismatic leaders, namely, tyrants, demagogues, and Pericles. Also included are Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic kings, whom scholars have identified as charismatic. The results suggest that Weber’s charisma offers a limited workable model. His proofs of Greek charisma are largely faulty o…
Nikias, Peace of
The Peace of Nikias concluded the first ten years of fighting in the Peloponnesian War (431–421 bce ). It takes its name from the Athenian politician Nikias, who was one of the leading advocates of peace with Sparta.
Demosthenes, strategos
Demosthenes, son of Alkisthenes (ca. 460–413 bce ), was an Athenian general in the Peloponnesian War, famous for his capture of Pylos and subsequent defeat of the Spartans on island of Sphacteria. He died in Sicily after the failure of the Athenian attempt to capture Syracuse.
Nikias (Nicias)
Nikias, son of Nikeratos, (ca. 470–413 bce ), was a successful Athenian general during the Peloponnesian War, but ultimately led his city‐state to one of her greatest defeats. Politically, he aspired to succeed Perikles as the first man of Athens, but he lacked the foresight and leadership qualities of his great predecessor. Because he was well intentioned, there was a tragic dimension to his failings, which the historian Thucydides portrayed wit…

A Companion to Ancient Macedonia
The Rhetoric of Conspiracy in Ancient Athens
The Attic orators, whose works are an invaluable source on the social and political history of Classical Athens, often filled their speeches with charges of conspiracy involving almost every facet of Athenian life. There are allegations of plots against men's lives, property, careers, and reputations, as well as charges of conspiracy against the public interest, the government, the management of foreign affairs, and more. Until now, however, this…

Ptolemy and His Rivals in His History of Alexander
Scholarly opinion about Ptolemy Soter's history of Alexander has been far from unanimous. Not long ago Ptolemy was held to stand in the first rank of ancient historians. His history was described as brilliant, rational, straightforward, and exhaustive, while he himself was proclaimed a ‘second Thucydides’. In recent years, however, Ptolemy's reputation has seriously declined. His shortcomings, acknowledged also by his admirers, have been stressed…
