Macedonian Legacies: Studies in Ancient Macedonian History and Culture in Honour of Eugene N. Borza

The people of Alexander the Great, the Ancient Macedonians, had a profound and lasting impact on world history. Macedonian Legacies, dedicated to one of the foremost experts in the field, Eugene N, Borza, traces many of the important cultural and historical contributions of Alexander's people. This Reprint Edition of the original 13 essays by field experts again makes available research on such topics as war on land and sea, sport and athletics, empire and rule, and cultural reception. In some cases, the balance shifts more towards the "literary" and in others more towards the "historical," but all the essays offer critical attention to the impact Macedon made on the world of the ancient Mediterranean."
