Rolf Strootman brings together various aspects of court culture in the Macedonian empires of the post-Achaemenid Near East. During the Hellenistic Period (c. 330-30 BCE), Alexander the Great and his successors reshaped their Persian and Greco-Macedonian legacies to create a new kind of rulership that was neither 'western' nor 'eastern' and would profoundly influence the later development of court culture and monarchy in both the Roman West and Iranian East. Drawing on the socio-political models of Norbert Elias and Charles Tilly, After the Achaemenids shows how the Hellenistic dynastic courts were instrumental in the integration of local elites in the empires, and the (re)distribution of power, wealth, and status. It analyses the competition among courtiers for royal favour and the, not always successful, attempts of the Hellenistic rulers to use these struggles to their own advantage. Key features Demonstrates the interrelationships of the three competing 'Hellenistic' empires of the Seleukids, Antigonids and Ptolemies Casts new light on the phenomenon of Hellenistic Kingship by approaching it from the angle of the court Covers topics such as palace architecture, royal women, court ceremonial, and coronation ritual 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Elite (Social sciences)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85042580|zMiddle East.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85090501-781 650 0 Elite (Social sciences)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85042580|zMacedonia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85079266-781 650 7 Elite (Social sciences)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/908113 650 7 Ancient history: to c 500 CE.|2bicssc 650 7 HISTORY|xAncient|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|xAncient|zGreece.|2bisacsh 651 7 Middle East.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1241586 651 7 Europe|zMacedonia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1242198 776 08 |iPrint version:|aStrootman, Rolf.|tCourts and elites in the Hellenistic empires. 330 to 30 BCE, c. 330 to 30 BCE |z9780748691265|w(OCoLC)878921145 830 0 Edinburgh studies in ancient Persia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2014081893 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=783910|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
