{"product_id":"women-and-monarchy-in-macedonia-elizabeth-d-carney-9780806168746","title":"Women and Monarchy in Macedonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking work, 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 played important roles in Macedonian public life and occasionally determined the course of national events. Carney assembles an exhaustive array of evidence on the political role of Argead royal women. She also presents a series of biographical sketches describing the public careers of all the royal women - including Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great, and the warrior Cynnane, his half-sister - whose names are preserved in ancient sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Donnelly Carney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806168749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806168746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Elizabeth Donnelly Carney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983036645631,"sku":"9780806168746","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f369cad4-3292-4f87-9574-dd13eb0df59e.jpg?v=1683264323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-monarchy-in-macedonia-elizabeth-d-carney-9780806168746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
