A History of the Hellenistic World: 323 - 30 BC

"A new narrative history, written by an expert in the field, offering an authoritative and accessible survey for students and readers alike. This is an excellent model of how it should be done, and I am sure that it will be not only students who find this a valuable reference work." (Scholia Reviews, 2009)

"The author, emeritus professor of ancient history at the University of Marburg, highlights the relationships between Greek city-states and Macedonian monarchies." (Times Higher Education Supplement)

“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
