Demetrius: Sacker of Cities

by James Romm

Book Overview

A portrait of one of the ancient world's first political celebrities, who veered from failure to success and back again

The life of Demetrius (337-283 BCE) serves as a through-line to the forty years following the death of Alexander the Great (323-282 BCE), a time of unparalleled turbulence and instability in the ancient world. With no monarch able to take Alexander's place, his empire fragmented into five pieces.
