Reviews
This volume is an important contribution to the study of Hellenistic History. Although it is aimed at scholars of Ptolemaic Egypt and assumes a strong background in the sources and circumstances of the period, I would also recommend it to scholars of Hellenistic literature and historians of other periods [...] For a small book, it offers lots of big ideas and provides fertile ground for future scholarship. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
An excellent introduction to the stat of current scholarship on the reign of Ptolemy I. Particularly welcome is the extensive use of Egyptian evidence to complement the familiar classical sources. [...] an important addition to the growing number of works on the reign of Ptolmy I and will be of interest to all scholars of the period. * Ancient West & East *
