L’autore esamina uno degli aspetti piu importanti (e spesso trascurati) dell’eta ellenistica: gli epiteti ufficiali dei sovrani e dei loro familiari (con attenzione anche alla titolatura regia nel suo complesso, agli epiteti non ufficiali e ai soprannomi), nel contesto piu generale dei cambiamenti politici e religiosi in quell’epoca. Il libro e diviso in tre parti, precedute da un’introduzione di carattere metodologico e con alcuni confronti con realta della Grecia arcaica e classica. La prima parte offre un quadro storico incentrato sull’uso degli epiteti per Alessandro Magno e i suoi successori. Segue un’analisi dei singoli titoli nelle diverse dinastie (in alcuni casi, fino all’impero romano). Nella terza parte sono invece indagati il rapporto tra gli epiteti e la propaganda multiculturale nelle regalita ellenistiche e l’elaborazione dell’immagine ideale del sovrano nella tradizione antica. Completano il volume le conclusioni, due appendici, tabelle cronologiche, un’ampia bibliografia e due indici. — The author explores one of the most important (and so far neglected) topics of Hellenism: the official epithets of kings and relatives (with reference even to the whole royal titulature and to unofficial epithets and nicknames), in the wider context of political and religious changes during the Hellenistic times. The book is divided mainly in three parts, with an introduction which explains various methodological issues and provides the reader with some parallel examples in Greek archaic and classical periods. The first part offers a historical overview of the development of the use of the epithets for Alexander the Great and his successors. The second part sheds some light on each title used in every single dynasty (in some cases, down into Roman imperial times). The third part examines the interconnection between epithets and royal multicultural propaganda under the Hellenistic kingdoms, and the construction of an ideal figure of the king in ancient authors. The book includes conclusions, two appendices, chronological tables, an extended bibliography and two indexes.
