- W4289718814 abstract "The book is a biography of Antigonus II Gonatas, king of Macedon from 276 to 239, and a history of the Greek mainland in the third century BCE. It falls into two parts. The first part covers the salient history of the decades preceding Antigonus’s accession to the throne, including what little is known of his early life, and the second part is a partly chronological, partly thematic account of his reign. The first part, which begins roughly with the death of Alexander the Great in 323, focuses on the history of Macedon, Sparta, Athens, the Aetolian and Achaean Confederacies, and Ptolemaic Egypt. The main recurrent themes of the second part are warfare (Antigonus vs Celts, Antigonus vs the Ptolemies of Egypt, Antigonus vs the Greeks, Antigonus vs Alexander of Corinth), administration (Antigonus’s reformation of Macedon, Antigonus’s methods of controlling the Greeks), and culture (Antigonus’s court). Antigonus emerges as one of the great kings of ancient Macedon, who stabilized the country after a period of chaos and held powerful foes at bay. But the successes of his early years as king were offset by the increasing power of the Greek confederacies, and his legacy was the perpetuation of the hatred the Greeks felt for their Macedonian overlords. This in turn ultimately made it possible for the Romans to replace the Macedonians as the arbiters of the Greeks’ fate." @default.
