Description

Carney examines the lives and roles of Macedonian royal women from the sixth to the second centuries B.C.

Description

"Elizabeth Donnelly Carney examines the role of royal women in the Macedonian Argead dynasty from the sixth century B.C. to 168 B.C. Women were excluded from the exercise of power in most of the Hellenic world. However, Carney shows that the wives, mothers, and daughters of kings sometimes played important roles in Macedonian public life and occasionally determined the course of national events."--BOOK JACKET.
