Recensione:

"No other period of Greek history is as complex as the three centuries between the death of Alexander and the suicide of Cleopatra, or as rich in source material. This book presents an up-to-date, reliable reconstruction of the political framework of the Hellenistic world, which can meet the demands of the increasing interest in this period in teaching and research."
-Angelos Chaniotis, University of Oxford
 
"Accessible, informative, and lucidly written, Errington's History of the Hellenistic World will provide an invaluable and user-friendly guide for students of the Hellenistic Age for many years to come."
-Claude Eilers, McMaster University
