Abstract

[...]there are hazards in compiling a volume with such international character; both the quality of the editing and the argumentation of each chapter are of inconsistent nature, though that is not to diminish the importance of several scholarly contributions throughout the work. [...]multiple authors address the question of chronology, Alexander's legitimation as pharaoh (with heavy focus on the oracle at Siwa), the foundation of Alexandria and other important building projects throughout Egypt, his death and burial, the behavior of the Diadochoi, and Alexander's reception/legacy.
