Who’s Who in the Age of Alexander and his Successors: From Chaironeia to Ipsos (338–301 BC)

This is a remarkable resource on the late-classical/early-hellenistic era, a series of 1,174 biographical scetches of effectively every Greek and Persian named in every surviving ancient spource covering the lifetime of Alexander and his immediate successors. The scetches are concise but complete, some running to several pages, and all include the citations to the specific ancient sources providing the information, so it is also an excellent starting point for additional research. When modern interpretations concerning the ancient sources disagree, those disagreements are summarized as well. It concludes with sixteen pages of diagramatic family trees. An indisensable book.

Precisely detailed by one of the foremost scholars and academics in the study of Alexander, his successors and Ancient Macedonian studies, this who's who is precisely that. Who is who in those times, their deeds and accomplishments, and how they fit into the bigger picture. Excellent reference material.
