King and Court in Ancient Macedonia
Rivalry, Treason and Conspiracy
by Elizabeth Carney
The Hellenistic courts and monarchies have in recent years become one of the most intensively studied areas of ancient history.
Among the most influential pioneers in this process has been the American historian Elizabeth Carney. The present book collects
for the first time in a single volume her most influential articles. Previously published in a range of learned journals, the articles
are here reedited, each with a substantive afterword by the author bringing the discussion up to date and adding new bibli-
ography. Main themes of this volume include Macedonian monarchy in practice and as an image; the role of conspiracies and
violence at court; royal women; aspects of court life and institutions.
