Agathokles of Syracuse: Sicilian Tyrant and Hellenistic King: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Agathokles of Syracuse: Sicilian Tyrant and Hellenistic King" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
In ancient discourse about him, in the coins he issued, in his interactions with the world around him, and in the way he ruled, Agathokles is simultaneously heir to a long tradition and actively engaged in his contemporary world. The failure to place Agathokles in both of these contexts up till now has contributed to the development of an excessively deep separation between the western and eastern Mediterranean and between the Classical and Hellenistic periods. This work - the first book-length study of Agathokles in English in over a century - places him in the context of both the earlier history of Sicily, and the developments in the eastern Mediterranean that mark the start of the Hellenistic era. The volume includes a narrative of his career, studies of his coinage and his representation in literary sources, and a series of explorations of important themes and regions.

To Martins de Lisle and Morris
I am fortunate to have a great many people to thank. I would never have undertaken higher studies in Classics had it not been for the support of family, friends, and teachers in New Zealand; I would never have completed this project had it not been for the many new friends that I found at Oxford, especially in the New College MCR and the Oxford Classics Faculty. Most of the research and writing was carried out in the Sackler Library or the late, great Combibos Coffee House.
Financially, this work was made possible by the generous support of the Clarendon Fund and the British Academy. Additional support for travel and research was provided by the Thomas Wiedemann Memorial Fund, the New College Graduate Travel Fund, and the Craven Committee of the Faculty of Classics. The award of a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship and a supernumerary fellowship at University College, Oxford enabled me to undertake the conversion from thesis to book.
Academically, I have benefited from the vibrant intellectual environment that is the Oxford Classics Faculty. I am especially grateful for the advice, comments, and criticisms of Volker Heuchert, Robert Parker, Nicholas Purcell, Jo Quinn, Keith Rutter, Peter Thonemann, Andy Meadows, and Jonathan Prag.
