Women and Monarchy in Macedonia (Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture)

Rating:
Summary: same quality as Heckel's Marshals
Review: If you liked Heckel's book "Marshals of Alexander", you will like this one too. Beth Carney writes good, short biographies of the important women that were around in Alexander's time. I might disagree on deatils with her view e.g. on Roxane, but this is a thorough, serious and especially very readable scholarly study. I have waited two years since its publication before I bought it. I wished I had not.
