The papers in this volume, Macedon and Its Influences: Narratives of Politics and War in Honor of Edward M. Anson, explore themes especially prominent in Anson’s own extensive bibliography: warfare and political action in Macedonian history, especially during the reigns of Philip II and Alexander (III) the Great. The volume is divided into three parts, and the first three papers consider issues related to the Alexander sources themselves. The next six examine diplomatic, religious, and political dimensions of Alexander’s campaign and its immediate aftermath. The final five focus more particularly on military matters, spanning from the reign of Alexander I through Alexander III down to characterization of the Macedonian military machine in later Roman-era art and military treatises. This diverse collection of topics reflects the wide-ranging contribution that Ed Anson has made to research in Argead Macedonia and the era of the Diodochi.
