520    In the ancient Greek-speaking world, writing about the 
       past meant balancing the reporting of facts with shaping 
       and guiding the political interests and behaviours of the 
       present. Ancient Historiography on War and Empire shows 
       the ways in which the literary genre of writing history 
       developed to guide empires through their wars. Taking key 
       events from the Achaemenid Persian, Athenian, Macedonian 
       and Roman 'empires', the 17 essays collected here analyse 
       the way events and the accounts of those events interact. 
       Subjects include: how Greek historians assign nearly 
       divine honours to the Persian King; the role of the tomb 
       cult of Cyrus the Founder in historical narratives of 
       conquest and empire from Herodotus to the Alexander 
       historians; warfare and financial innovation in the age of
       Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great; the murders of
       Philip II, his last and seventh wife Kleopatra, and her 
       guardian, Attalos; Alexander the Great's combat use of 
       eagle symbolism and divination; Plutarch's juxtaposition 
       of character in the Alexander-Caesar pairing as a 
       commentary on political legitimacy and military prowess, 
       and Roman Imperial historians using historical examples of
       good and bad rule to make meaningful challenges to current
       Roman authority. In some cases, the balance shifts more 
       towards the 'literary' and in others more towards the 
       'historical', but what all of the essays have in common is
       both a critical attention to the genre and context of 
       history-writing in the ancient world and its focus on war 
       and empire."--|cProvided by publisher.
