Seleukos Nikator
Following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, one of his
commanders, Seleukos Nikator, rose over a period of forty years from
being a landless refugee to the most successful of the Successor kings.
This biography, first published in 1990, makes use of both historical
and archaeological sources to trace the stages of Seleukos’ life as he
added province to province, kingdom to kingdom , gradually building
an empire which stretched from India to Greece and founding a state
which lasted for the next two centuries.
This strangely neglected figure in ancient history emerges as a m od­
estly proficient general, an excellent strategist, a consummate diplomat,
and an inventive and constructive ruler, the diversity of his empire
demanding intelligence of a high order to hold it together.
Seleukos
Nikator
will be of interest to students of ancient history and the politics
of the Hellenistic world.
