..".This volume offers a master class in the practice of ancient
history. [...] To sum up, the collection of articles presented in
this volume speaks to a clear and important theme concerning the
ruling Argead clan and the expectations of the Macedonian elite.
Carney has long sought to convince us that kings cannot be assessed
without considering their closest companions, and the scholarly
debates that she reports in the Afterword essays show how
significant her work has been over the past forty years. This
volume [offers] students more opportunity to delve into the family,
friends, and enemies of Philip and Alexander." --Alexis Q. Castor,

"Carney has made a significant contribution to the study of Macedon
and Macedonians. This collection of articles offers readers a
chance to appreciate its scope and development, and makes
appreciable the gentle move in the story of Macedonian history away
from individuals and events and toward structures. [...] The
addition of reflection on the current state of scholarship and the
development of the author's own work makes this book especially
useful and instructive." --Samuel Gartland, Classical Journal
